The Black Damascus Ring Skinner Knife is built around a forged wood-grain blade. A steel ring extends from the tang and loops above the handle. That ring gives extra control for detailed skinning work. A second round cutout near the blade adds another grip point.

The handle scales are black, set off by a mosaic-patterned bolster. A round medallion with a compass design sits in the center. Gold and red pinstripe bands frame the bolster on both sides. Four white pins hold the scales firmly in place.

This skinner ships with a brown leather sheath built for belt carry. Tan stitching runs along a scalloped edge for a finished look. The wood grain pattern in the steel shows folded layers throughout the blade. Every ring skinner in this line carries its own unique pattern.

The History Behind This Knife

Ring skinners grew out of practical need on the trapline. A finger ring gave trappers more control during long skinning sessions. Damascus forging carries centuries of tradition from smiths who folded steel by hand. Mosaic pin work later brought decoration into working tools. Divine Knives carries that same blend of function and art into this blade.

Black Damascus Ring Skinner Performance

The forged Damascus blade holds an edge through extended skinning work. Its wood grain pattern reflects real folded layers, not a surface etch. The finger ring adds leverage during long cuts. That leverage reduces hand fatigue on tough hides. The second handle cutout gives a secure choke-up grip. Balance stays centered even with the added ring weight. The satin finish resists glare in bright field conditions.
