Chris Reeve Knives describes this item as follows:... After many years of listening to hunters (both in the USA and in Africa) telling me what the ideal skinner should be and be able to do, I was totally confused. However, after 13 years as a tool and die maker and 14 years as a knifemaker--8 of those years running concurrently--I had a good idea of what a tool should do and how it should be handled.
My Skinner may be a little unconventional but I have designed this knife to cover a wide range of tasks relating to skinning as well as around camp and even in the home. The cutting edge is rugged enough to take a lot of punishment but, if properly sharpened, will do the most delicate cutting tasks.
The name which I like for my skinner is "Ubejane" or "Mbhejane" which in Zulu (the native language of the area in South Africa where I grew up) means Rhinoceros. The Rhino is a large, powerful animal with a strong up-tilting horn--my skinner echoes those attributes! (1990) The leather sheath supplied with the Skinner has a strap closure which passes from left to right around the cross guard.
To ensure that the knife does not fall from the sheath should the strap become unfastened, there is a nylon stud in place above the cross guard on the right hand side. Blade Material: A2 Tool Steel. Blade Length: 4.5 (114 mm). Blade Thickness: 0.177 (4.5 mm). Overall Length: 9.5 (241 mm). Handle Material: A2 Tool Steel.Butt Capp Material: D65S Aluminum.
