SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Frost Cutlery Big Horn Skinner is a fixed blade knife that brings classic lines, capable design, and eye-catching detail into one finely balanced tool. Built for the hunter, the collector, or anyone who appreciates quality and tradition, this knife blends everyday function with a handcrafted look that feels right at home in the field or on display. It’s reliable, refined, and ready to work—exactly what you’d expect from a name like Frost Cutlery.
At the center of the Big Horn Skinner is a 5.57-inch stainless steel blade with a satin finish that enhances both form and function. The skinner profile is curved and purpose-driven, ideal for processing game with precision and control. The plain edge glides cleanly through hide and flesh, while the subtle belly of the blade allows for smooth, efficient slicing. With a blade thickness of .12 inches, you get a sleek, responsive cutting edge that maintains strength without added bulk.
The blade is fitted with a hidden tang construction that flows seamlessly into the handle, giving the knife a sleek, uninterrupted profile. This style of build provides solid internal strength while allowing the handle to showcase its striking materials. The Pakkawood handle is shaped for comfort and control, offering a smooth, natural grip that’s accented with white and red synthetic spacers. These small pops of color add a custom feel, making this knife stand out with just the right touch of visual flair.
A polished brass guard and end cap give the knife a refined, traditional finish, while hollow brass rivets through the handle add both structural reinforcement and timeless style. The contrast between the wood tones, colored spacers, and bright brass hardware gives the Big Horn Skinner a look that’s as impressive as its performance. It’s a knife that feels like a throwback to classic American field tools but with just enough modern polish to turn heads.
Measuring 9.75 inches overall and weighing 10.4 ounces, this knife has a comfortable size and a balanced, reassuring heft. It’s large enough to tackle skinning and camp tasks with ease, yet compact and ergonomic enough to carry comfortably and use with precision. Whether you're breaking down game or cutting rope at the campsite, the Big Horn Skinner stays steady in the hand and sharp on the job.
This fixed blade is made to work, but it’s also made to be admired. From the natural beauty of the handle to the gleam of the satin-finished blade, every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and performance. It’s a dependable addition to any hunting pack and an attractive piece for anyone who values traditional design.
