The Compact Skinner Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted field blade also known as a small tracker knife. It measures 8 inches overall with full-tang construction and a black powder-coated blade for a low-glare, protected finish. The compact size gives precise control for skinning, field dressing, and general outdoor tasks.
This knife suits hunters, outdoor users, and collectors who value a practical, handmade field blade. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in finish give every piece its own character.
The skinner knife was shaped over generations as a specialist hunting tool, with a curved belly built to glide under a hide for clean, controlled cuts. The tracker style adds a versatile, compact profile suited to a wide range of outdoor jobs beyond skinning, from carving to camp work. Full-tang construction became the standard for these working blades because it resists bending and breaking under hard field use. A black powder coating adds a modern, low-glare look while helping shield the steel from the elements. This handmade compact skinner carries that practical heritage forward in a controllable, do-it-all field size.

WHAT I LEARNED
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
i AM NOT SURE THAT 4 STARS IS A FAIR SCORE, MY DOG IS AN AGGRESSIVE CHEWER, NEEDLESS TO SAY WITHIN 2 DAYS ALL THE TABS WERE OFF, BUT THERE WERE NUBS LEFT AND SHE CAN USE THAT. HERE IS A WHAT NOT TO DO, BRING IT TO THE DOG PARK, THEY ALL HAVE A BLAST BUT IF YOUR A BULLY/PIT MIX AND DECIDE TO SINK THEIR TEETH INTO IT, IT DOES DEFLAT. LESSONS LEARNED STILL A FUN TOY.

Sturdy ball with pump
Color: Black/White, Size: Medium
Thick material so it won't pop so easy. Comes with a hand pump and 2 ball needles. Tabs for the dog to carry in his mouth. Although my dog bites the whole thing to carry. Savage loves it!

Durable and fun
Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug, Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug
This is a cool toy. My dog took to it right away. It tosses great. I like that you can play a little tugging along with fetch. We mainly use it outdoors. It feels very strong and durable. For size reference my dog is a mini golden doodle and weighs about 30lbs.
