Skeleton Skinner 2.0
Designed as the ultimate backcountry skinning knife, the Skeleton Skinner makes quick work of processing game while keeping weight to an absolute minimum.
Now upgraded to MagnaCut stainless steel and paired with our brand-new ultralight sheath design, the Skeleton Skinner delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and packability without sacrificing performance.
Whether carried as a dedicated skinning tool or paired with an Ovis Hunter, this purpose-built blade is right at home deep in the backcountry, around camp, or in your everyday carry rotation.
The upgrade model will have a small sharpening choil added.
