Full Tang Damascus Skinner Knife Set for Hunting

The Full Tang Damascus Skinner Knife Set includes five blades in graduated sizes. The largest measures 11 inches. The smallest measures 9 inches. Each one carries the same deep upswept belly. That belly does the skinning work.

A skinner earns its keep on the curve, not the point. You ride the belly along the hide and let it separate. A straight edge tears. A deep sweep glides. All five blades follow that rule.

Two different builds sit inside this group. Two knives carry a second guard behind the finger groove. Three carry a single flared guard and a one-piece scale. Anyone about to buy Damascus skinner set pieces should count the guards first. That detail changes how the grip locks up.

Damascus Skinner Knife Set at Divine Knives, pairing two sub-hilt knives with three single-guard skinners across bone, black horn, and flame walnut handles.

The History Behind This Full Tang Damascus Skinner Knife Set

Skinning blades with deep upswept bellies go back to North American fur trade camps. Trappers needed a curve that followed the animal rather than cutting into it. Pattern-welded steel reaches much further back. Smiths in Persia, India, and Northern Europe stacked and folded bars for centuries. Divine Knives builds that layered stock into a graduated hunting group.

Upswept Damascus Skinner Knives in the Field

Pick the size to match the animal. The 11-inch blade opens and quarters larger game. The 9-inch pair works close around joints and hooves. Keep the edge angle shallow and let the curve travel. Force ruins a skinning cut. Patience saves the hide. Every pommel carries a lanyard hole for a wet hand. The two sub-hilt grips lock your fingers in two places. That matters late in a long session. The other three ride on a single flared guard.

Full Tang Damascus Skinner Knife Set Construction

Every tang runs the full length of the handle and shows along both scale edges. Nothing is glued into a hidden slot. The full-tang Damascus blades carry the same wood grain figure. That consistency ties the group together on a display board. Three knives take three solid silver pins each. The sub-hilt pair takes two pins in horn and three in bone. Guards and pommels are cut from the same Damascus stock. Bone and walnut both need dry storage. Wipe each blade with mineral oil after use.

FAQs

How many knives come in this set?

Five knives, graduated from 9 inches up to 11 inches overall. Each blade uses the same upswept skinner profile.

What makes a skinner blade different from a regular hunting knife?

A skinner carries a deep belly and cuts along the curve. A general hunting blade relies more on the point.

Why do two of the knives have a second guard?

Those two use a sub-hilt, a second guard behind the finger groove. It gives you a second locked grip position.

Which knife in the set suits deer?

The 11-inch blade opens and quarters a deer efficiently. The 9-inch blades handle caping and close joint work.

Are the handle materials natural?

Yes. The set uses black horn, cream bone, jigged striped bone, and flame figured walnut.
