Why a Two-Blank Skinner Set Still Matters
The skinner profile provides a curved cutting edge designed for hunting knives and outdoor blades. Knife makers can grind, finish, and customize the blade to suit their own design style, and having two matching blanks means you can complete a pair of knives, or practice your technique on the second while perfecting the first.
Handle Scale Materials: Comfort and Character
This set includes two handle scale materials that allow builders to shape and finish their own handles. The pre-drilled full tang structure makes installation easier for knife makers working on custom builds. Craftsmen who build their own blades often use materials like wood, micarta, or horn scales depending on their design.
Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern
The blanks feature forged Damascus steel blade patterns created through layered steel forging. Because each blade is hand-forged, no two blanks in this set carry an identical pattern, giving every finished knife its own individual character.
Full Tang Construction, and Ready for Your Build
The pre-drilled full tang structure gives each blank the strength and balance needed for a finished hunting or bushcraft knife. Browse the full Knife Blank Blades Collection for more raw Damascus material built the same handcrafted way.
What Comes With It
The included handcrafted leather sheaths provide safe storage and carry once the knife is completed. These sheaths are designed for belt carry and outdoor use, making them suitable for finished hunting or bushcraft knives. Explore more handmade options at JWSteelCrafts.
