Gentleman's 'Jade' Hunter Curved Blade Skinner 10” Knife Rugged Full Tang SHARP
I have two versions of these skinners, identical except for inlay on handles; This one, and a separate listing with a plain pakka wood handle that looks like rosewood. Also see eBay item number:224347708696 for a leather sheath sold separately that fits this well, shown in last photo.
The compact size, trailing-point profile and ergonomic grip allow precise control and make this knife excellent for hunting, fishing (gutting, skinning and scaling) as well as wood carving. For self-defense the narrow point (false edged back) improves piercing ability and makes this knife effective.
Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these skinners is EXCELLENT. Solid construction for rugged use but beautiful as well. Very nicely done at this price, I think you’ll be impressed. My only reservation is that I wish the sheath were leather rather than nylon. The latter will actually last longer and has the advantage of not retaining moisture, but I’m traditional some ways, and think it looks better except for tactical knives. I take my own photos and measurements, add my own description. I’ve inspected and photographed every one of these I'm selling and I can recommend them. These are rugged. These are real. And sharp! I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group and Renaissance Fair so I get lots of feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

* Pakka Wood is an engineered wood/plastic composite material commonly used in knife handles and other objects that see rough wear. It can closely resemble conventional wood, and come in a range of patterns and colors. I have made many knife handles from this type of material, which is also known as Dymond Wood. It's biggest claim to fame is it is inert, and although it works like wood, it will not warp, absorb water, etc. ~ Woodcarving Illustrated
* A ‘trailing point’ knife has a concave spine, making it more light-weight, and a back edge that curves upward for fine control. This profile provides a large curved cutting area or ‘belly’ that is optimized for slicing or skinning. Most common on skinning knives, a common example being filet knives.
