Skinning Knife SK31

Description

The SK31 San Mai Skinning Knife is a compact, handcrafted knife featuring a traditional three-layer San Mai blade construction. This style of construction combines different steels to create a distinctive blade with a strong visual contrast and a functional cutting edge.

The center cutting core is made from 440C stainless steel, a proven high-carbon stainless steel known for its ability to take and hold a sharp edge. The cutting core is surrounded by 1095 steel cladding on both sides, creating the three-layer San Mai construction. The contrasting steels give the blade its characteristic San Mai appearance while providing a durable and visually distinctive design.

The compact 3-inch blade is well suited for controlled, detailed cutting and skinning work. Its shorter profile allows for excellent maneuverability and precision, making it particularly useful when careful control is important. The knife’s compact dimensions also make it easy to carry as part of a hunting or outdoor setup.

The handle is crafted from stabilized Pecan wood. Stabilization helps reinforce the natural wood while preserving its distinctive grain and character. Each piece of Pecan has its own natural variations, giving every handle a unique appearance that complements the contrasting San Mai blade.

With an overall length of 6.75 inches and a weight of just 4.4 ounces, the SK31 is lightweight, compact, and easy to maneuver. It offers a practical combination of a controlled cutting profile, premium materials, and handcrafted character.
