This 4" skinner is forged with San Mai construction, combining a 1075 high carbon steel core with mild steel cladding for a tough yet razor-sharp blade. The etched finish highlights the striking contrast between the steels, showcasing the traditional layered design. A bronze guard, brass and red spacers, and a brass pin complement the handle — crafted from stabilized, red-dyed maple for durability and bold style. Compact and unique, this skinner blends traditional forging methods with a modern, eye-catching finish.
