F. Dick ErgoGrip 6-inch Skinning Knife, Red Handle
The red handle on this 6-inch skinning knife makes it easy to pick out on a kill floor or at camp, where knives get set down on a hide or in grass. The blade is F. Dick’s ErgoGrip skinner, shaped to take the hide off without cutting into the meat.Its wide blade sweeps upward and finishes in a broad, rounded tip. Difficult cuts around legs and the neck can be made precisely, and the rounded point lets the edge work close under the hide without piercing it. Hunters carry the shorter skinner for exactly this kind of control.The broad, curved belly makes long strokes along the flanks, and the rounded point handles the tight areas around the legs and head.The standard ErgoGrip 6-inch skinning knife has the same blade. To open the abdominal wall, add the special gutting knife, and for field dressing in high-visibility orange see the Master Grip 3 Piece Field Dressing Kit. Learn More$24.05 -
Dexter-Russell Traditional 5.25-inch Sheep Skinning Knife, Carbon Steel
Sheep and lamb hides are thin and cling tightly to the carcass, so skinning them takes a short blade with a pronounced curve that can be worked in close. This Dexter-Russell Traditional sheep skinner has a 5.25-inch curved, rigid blade for exactly that, and Dexter recommends it for skinning fish, pigs, chickens and other wild game and farm animals as well.The carbon steel blade sharpens quickly in the field and takes a very fine edge. It draws more search visits than any other Dexter knife on our site, from farmers and hunters who process their own lambs, and it has a long history with customers in the Northeast.Carbon steel will rust if it is put away wet, so it needs a quick wipe and a light coat of oil after the work is done.
Choosing a Skinning KnifeFor deer and cattle, the wider, stain-free Sani-Safe 6-inch Skinning Knife covers more hide per stroke. A leather Dexter-Russell Skinning Knife Sheath is sold separately. Learn More$20.25 -
Victorinox Fibrox Pro 6-inch Western Beef Skinner
The Western beef skinner is built for control when processing large animals. Its curved blade separates hide from muscle cleanly, which makes it a strong choice for beef, elk and other big game.Hold the hide taut with the free hand and keep the curve of the blade against the inside of the hide, using short, sweeping strokes. The belly of the blade does the work, so the point stays clear of the hide and the meat. The Fibrox Pro handle stays secure in wet, cold conditions, in the shop or the field.Skinning dulls an edge quickly, since hair carries grit. Keep a honing steel or a small sharpener nearby and touch up the edge between animals.For a shorter beef skinner, see the Fibrox Pro 5-inch Beef Skinning Knife. The Fibrox Pro 6-inch Skinning Knife has a wide upswept tip for sheep and deer, and the 5-inch lamb skinner suits smaller hides.

Victorinox Fibrox Pro 5-inch Beef Skinning Knife
The Victorinox 5-inch beef skinning knife is specialized for skinning cattle, hogs and other medium to large game. The curved blade follows the line between hide and carcass, and the short length keeps the hand close to the work for control.Use the belly of the blade in short, sweeping strokes while pulling the hide away with the other hand. Keeping the edge angled toward the hide rather than the carcass avoids scoring the meat and keeps the hide whole.Hunters who process their own deer and elk will find the 5-inch blade easy to manage in the field, and processors use it on the line where a longer skinner is unwieldy. Skinning dulls an edge quickly, so hone between animals.For more blade, see the Fibrox Pro 6-inch Western Beef Skinner.

Victorinox Fibrox Pro 5-inch Lamb Skinning Knife
