Maple Ridge Skinner Knife Set of 10, Rosewood & Turquoise Handle

The Maple Ridge Skinner Knife Set continues a long tradition of curved blades built for skinning and field dressing. Hunters have trusted this blade shape for generations because it allows controlled cuts around hides and joints without risking damage to the meat.

At JWSteelCrafts, we get a lot of questions about this style. So let's break down what makes it special and why a ten-piece bulk collection still holds up as a smart choice for gifting and resale today.

What Exactly Is This Maple Ridge Skinner Knife Set?

The Maple Ridge Skinner Knife Set brings together ten handmade blades in one collection, each measuring 6 to 7 inches overall. As a Fixed Blade Skinner Collection, every piece features a genuine Damascus steel blade with a steel bolster and rosewood-turquoise handle, giving you consistent quality across the whole set.

Specifications

Why This Practical Design Still Matters

This practical design became a standard among hunters who value reliability over flashy features. That same time-tested shape defines every Handmade Hunting Knife Set we forge today, giving buyers consistent performance across a bulk collection.

Rosewood and Turquoise Handle: Comfort and Character

Combining rosewood with turquoise became a way for custom makers to add both natural warmth and bold color contrast to a single handle. This pairing creates a distinct, layered look, blending natural wood warmth with a bold color accent that stands out from single-material handles.

Damascus Steel: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern

This Artisan Skinning Knives set features ten blades forged from genuine Damascus steel, each carrying its own distinct wave pattern. Each knife shares the same size, handle materials, and bolster design, but the Damascus pattern varies slightly since every blade is hand forged.

Full Tang Construction, and Ready for Field Use

The steel bolster on each knife reinforces the connection between blade and handle, adding durability where knives typically wear down first. Browse the full Handmade Skinner Knives Collection for more field-ready blades built the same handcrafted way.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

1. Regular Cleaning
   Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
2. Dry Thoroughly
   After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
3. Proper Storage
   Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
4. Avoid Impact
   While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
   Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
6. Routine Inspection
   Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
