Description
A Skinners Knife, sometimes known as a skinning knife, is a professional tool used by skinners. A skinner knife usually has a wide, short blade. The edge is rigid and has no flexibility or spring. Knives for skinning are more of a hunting tool than a weapon.
Damascus is a mixture of 1095 and 15N20, they are heated and then folded over and over to get the desired layers. The blade is burned in acid and it turns the layers into different colors. The layering process also results in a blade that is harder and durable than a single type of steel.
A Camel Bone Handle is an exotic, ethically sourced material crafted from polished camel bone, providing a distinctive, smooth texture and an elegant, intricate appearance.
Scrimshaw is an ancient art form that involves etching intricate designs onto bone using a sharp tool, they are created using a combination of shading and line work.
