Skinner Knife Blade Blank 4.25 Inch Stainless with Brass Guard

The skinner blade profile is one of the most practical shapes a knife maker can build around. The upswept belly gives you the sweeping curved edge that makes clean skinning cuts through hide without punching through to the meat underneath, and the broad blade width provides control during field dressing work that a thinner drop point or clip point does not quite deliver. This 4.25-inch stainless blank gives you a properly sized skinner for deer, hogs, and similar game in a full tang configuration that produces the strongest possible finished knife.

The attached brass guard is already fitted, which takes one of the trickier parts of a blade blank build off your plate. The stainless construction is forgiving to finish and holds up well to the moisture and blood exposure that a hunting knife sees in regular field use. Whether you are completing your first knife build or adding a dedicated skinner to an established collection of handmade blades, this blank provides a clean, practical foundation ready for your choice of handle material.

Best for: Knife makers, hunters, hobbyists, or anyone who wants a ready-to-handle stainless skinner blank with an attached brass guard for a practical field dressing or hunting knife build.
