The Herron Knives Fixed Blade Skinner combines rugged cutting performance with distinctive American craftsmanship. Designed for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a purpose-built tool, this fixed blade features a traditional skinner profile suited to controlled cutting and field dressing tasks. Its Farrier's Rasp carbon steel blade gives this knife a unique character, connecting traditional working tools with the precision and attention to detail of custom knife making.
A farrier's rasp is a dual-sided metal tool traditionally used to maintain horse hooves, with aggressive teeth on one side for rapid material removal and finer file teeth on the reverse for smoothing and finishing. Repurposing this hardworking tool steel into a knife blade adds a distinctive connection to traditional craftsmanship and working tools.
The dark blue, teal, and gold mica pearl resin handle brings bold color and depth to this rugged design. Rich dark blue and teal tones blend with shimmering gold accents, creating a distinctive pearl-like appearance that catches the light from every angle. The striking combination gives this skinner plenty of personality while complementing the unusual Farrier's Rasp blade.
Scott Herron began making knives in 2005 while working at a machine shop in North Carolina. After returning to Tennessee, he continued refining his craft while supporting his family and saving for the equipment needed to establish his own knife shop. Herron Knives was officially founded in 2010, turning years of dedication into a full-time pursuit.
Herron believes a quality knife shouldn't compromise beauty for functionality. His commitment to superior fit and finish, excellent craftsmanship, and carefully selected materials is evident throughout his work. Proudly made in the USA, this skinner reflects that philosophy in a distinctive, purpose-built cutting instrument.
