Curved upswept drop-point skinner with finger hole for precise control. Average 4.7/5 star reviews online for various styles, including Blade Forum.

Three versions of these skinners, identical except for handle material; multi-color pakka wood, black pakka wood and camel bone. The sheaths in most recent shipments much improved.

Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these skinners is GOOD. Solid construction for hard use. I expect you’ll be pleased, especially at this price. I take my own photos and measurements, add my own description. I’ve inspected and photographed every one of these I'm selling and I can recommend them. Some minor flaws consistent with being handmade in Pakistan are possible. I only tell you this in case you're expecting to get a shiny factory manufactured knife. These are rugged. These are real. And sharp! I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local HEMA group and Renaissance Fair so I get lots of feedback. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

Full tang SHARP, nice leather sheath, tough pakka wood grips, solid construction. The knife is actually  6” overall (3.5” blade)

Blade Forum: I've got several knives of this type. They're short, usually curved, with a short rounded handle, and a finger hole. IMHO, it's the best defensive design you can get in a mini-knife.

The small size, clip-pont profile and finger hole for precise control make this knife excellent for hunting, fishing (gutting, skinning and scaling) as well as wood carving. For self defense belt knife but also small enough for boot, neck or pocket knife (please be aware of concealed weappon regulations in your state) and effective for both cutting and stabbing. For home and office I have one I use as a box cutter and letter opener :)

* Woodcarving Illustrated: Pakka Wood is an engineered wood/plastic composite material commonly used in knife handles and other objects that see rough wear. It can closely resemble conventional wood, and come in a range of patterns and colors. I have made many knife handles from this type of material, which is also known as Dymond Wood. It's biggest claim to fame is it is inert, and although it works like wood, it will not warp, absorb water, etc.

A clip-point blade is like a normal blade with the back 'clipped'. This clip can be either straight or concave. The back edge of the clip may have a false edge that could be sharpened to make a second edge. The sharp tip is useful as a pick, or for cutting in tight places. If the false edge is sharpened it increases the knife's effectiveness in piercing. As well, having the tip closer to the centre of the blade allows greater control in piercing. The Bowie knife is a common example and usually has a pronounced clip point blade.
