The Half Face Blades Skinner Jr Fixed Knife is built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who values precision cutting in a compact, dependable package. Designed and manufactured in the United States by Half Face Blades, the company founded by former Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito, the Skinner Jr reflects a commitment to premium materials, functional design, and knives that perform when real work needs to get done.
Measuring 7.7 inches overall, the Skinner Jr strikes an excellent balance between portability and cutting capability. Its 3.7 inch blade provides the reach and slicing performance needed for detailed work while maintaining the maneuverability that makes smaller fixed blades so practical in the field. The blade profile is shaped to handle skinning, slicing, and controlled cuts with ease, giving users a versatile tool for game processing, camp chores, and general outdoor tasks.
The blade is crafted from CPM S45VN stainless steel, a premium American powder metallurgy steel known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. S45VN has quickly become one of the most respected steels in the knife industry because it delivers a strong balance of durability and cutting performance. At .10 inches thick, the blade is thin enough to glide smoothly through material while still maintaining the strength required for demanding use.
A durable Cerakote finish covers the blade, providing an added layer of protection against corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environmental conditions. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating widely used on tactical equipment and firearms due to its durability. While the core blade material is silver stainless steel, the Cerakote coating creates a darker visible finish that reduces glare and gives the knife a clean, subdued appearance suited for field use.
The handle features grey G10 scales with a textured grip pattern designed to enhance traction and control. G10 is a fiberglass laminate material known for its impressive strength, resistance to moisture, and stability across changing temperatures. The textured surface helps the knife stay firmly planted in your hand during demanding tasks, even in wet conditions.
Titanium Torx bolts secure the handle scales to the full tang construction, creating a strong and reliable connection while allowing the handle to be serviced if needed. The result is a solid, confidence-inspiring build that’s designed to stand up to years of use.
The Skinner Jr comes paired with a custom-fit Kydex sheath that provides excellent retention and secure carry. Kydex is lightweight, weather resistant, and tough enough to handle demanding outdoor environments, making it an ideal carry system for a knife designed to work in the field.
