5 Piece Wire Cutout Skinner Knife Set with Colored Wood and Resin Handles

The Wire Cutout Skinner Knife Set puts five hand-forged Damascus blades into one collection. Each blade carries a different animal silhouette cut directly into the steel: rabbits, foxes, wolves, and deer across the set. Wave Damascus flows through every piece in deep, contrast-etched lines. No two blades share the same grain, and no two handles match.

Five handles come with the set, each in a different color. Orange and red wood handles pair with three of the blades. Blue and purple resin handles cover the remaining two. Silver bolsters cap the blade ends on the upper knives. Brass pins secure the rest of the handles to the full tang blades beneath.

Each knife runs 7 inches overall, compact enough for controlled fieldwork. The Skinner profile gives every blade a curved belly built for long, sweeping cuts through hide. That geometry suits skinning and field dressing better than a straight-edge blade.

This is the only Wire Cutout Skinner Knife Set at JW Steel Crafts with five individually cut animal silhouettes and five distinct handle colors in one set.

The History Behind This Blade

Skinner knives trace back to hunters who needed a curved edge for clean field dressing. Damascus forging dates back centuries, valued for its strength and the patterns left by repeated folding. Animal motifs on blades trace back to hunting traditions that valued craft alongside the tool. JW Steel Crafts forges each blade by hand, cutting a different animal design into every piece.

Blade Performance

Damascus steel holds a sharp edge through repeated field use. Each Skinner profile handles skinning and field dressing with control. Full tang construction keeps every knife steady and balanced in hand. The animal cutout sits in the blade without weakening the cutting edge. High-carbon steel benefits from light oiling after each use to stay rust-free. The deep contrast etching also adds collector value to each piece.

Handle Construction

Five handles cover the set in different colors and materials. Orange and red wood handles bring a warm, natural tone to three knives. Blue and purple resin handles add bold contrast to the remaining two. Silver bolsters cap the blade end on the upper knives in the set. Brass pins lock the other handles firmly to the full tang blades. Five distinct handle looks come together without losing consistency across the set.

Best Used For

This set suits hunters who want dedicated blades for skinning and field dressing. Distinct handle colors help identify each knife quickly during fieldwork. Collectors value the set for five unique animal cutouts and five different handle combinations. Few hunting sets offer this much variation in blade design and handle material. As a gift, it suits hunters, outdoorsmen, and Damascus knife collectors alike.

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.
