LONG DESCRIPTION
The Dexter Russell Traditional 5″ Skinning Knife (6211 / 012-5SK) is built to do one thing exceptionally well — skin with speed, precision, and ease. Favoured by generations of hunters, anglers, and butchers, this blade features a curved high-carbon steel edge designed to glide through skin and tissue with minimal effort.
Whether you’re processing fish, game, poultry, or livestock, the unique blade geometry and edge retention make it a go-to tool. The Beech wood handle, polished and secured with brass rivets, provides a comfortable and balanced grip even during extended use. The knife’s rigid build and minimal wrist strain design ensure consistent performance with less fatigue.
Backed by decades of American manufacturing excellence, this knife not only stands the test of time but earns its place in the hands of professionals who demand the best.
