The Herron Knives Fixed Blade Skinner combines rugged cutting performance with the distinctive craftsmanship of a dedicated American knifemaker. 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 for rapid material removal on one side and finer file teeth for smoothing and finishing on the reverse. Repurposing this hardworking tool steel into a knife blade adds a distinctive touch of heritage and craftsmanship to the Herron Skinner.
The Kraken Core resin handle brings bold visual character to this rugged design. Its distinctive pattern gives the knife a striking appearance, making it an eye-catching addition to any hunting kit or knife collection. The resin construction complements the blade's unusual material, creating a memorable combination of traditional utility and contemporary style.

Herron Knives was officially founded in 2010, turning years of dedication into a full-time pursuit.
Herron believes a quality knife should never compromise beauty for functionality. His commitment to superior fit and finish, excellent craftsmanship, and carefully selected materials is evident throughout his work.
