{"product_id":"custom-drop-point-skinner-0726002","title":"140mm Drop Point Skinner, Koa, Silver \u0026 Turquoise","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharacterized by its distinctive materials and functional design. \u003cbr\u003eThe blade features a true drop point profile, characterized by a convex spine that curves gently down to meet the point, creating a robust and versatile tip perfect for skinning and detailed field dressing. It is forged from cable, a process where high-carbon steel cable is twisted, forge-welded into a solid billet, and then fashioned into a blade. It is etched to reveal the intricate, swirling, rope-like pattern inherent in the original material. This provides not only exceptional toughness but also a unique, dark, and textured aesthetic.\u003cbr\u003eFinish:\u003cbr\u003eThe blade exhibits a dark, aged, or \"charred\" finish resulting from the etching process, which highlights the complex internal cable structure. Our maker's mark is visibly stamped near the ricasso.\u003cbr\u003eHandle:\u003cbr\u003eThe handle is crafted from a warm-toned, figured hardwood koa, which showcases a beautiful three-dimensional grain. It is ergonomically shaped with a contoured profile and a subtle palm swell, designed for a secure and comfortable grip during prolonged use.\u003cbr\u003eAccents:\u003cbr\u003eA striking feature of the handle is the decorative bolster area. It transitions from the blade using a combination of aluminium spacers and a band of vibrant blue turquoise composite, adding a Western flair to this rustic knife. The handle is secured with a visible pin.\u003cbr\u003eOverall Aesthetic:\u003cbr\u003eThis knife perfectly balances a rustic, forged-in-fire aesthetic with refined, artisanal details. It is a functional piece of art, ideal for a discerning hunter or collector who appreciates the transformation of industrial materials into a beautiful, high-performance tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0726002\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dust Bowl Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47778663465091,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/7320\/1283\/files\/4_cb1240c2-1bcb-4ff5-aa4c-d1bb484b876f.png?v=1785798423","url":"https:\/\/dustbowlknives.com\/products\/custom-drop-point-skinner-0726002","provider":"Dust Bowl Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
