The Astro Skinner Damascus Knife Kit is a compact, USA-made fixed blade blank designed for makers who want a modern skinning knife with standout performance and a custom-ready platform. Crafted from carbon steel Damascus and heat treated to 56–58 RC, this hollow-ground blade offers excellent cutting geometry with a bold profile.
Featuring a 3.65 inch blade and a 6.00 inch overall length, the Astro Skinner is perfectly sized for utility and skinning work. The 1.85 inch wide blade is ground on both sides and engineered with internal cutouts to reduce weight and enhance balance for improved handling. The tang includes two 0.125 inch holes for secure handle attachment using the included stainless steel pinstock. The holes can also be customized to fit larger hardware or threaded fasteners depending on your preferred build style. This kit is ideal for those who want to create a custom skinner that performs well and stands out in the field or workshop.
