The Herron Knives Small Upswept Skinner brings rugged utility and distinctive American craftsmanship to the field. Built for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a purpose-driven cutting tool, this compact fixed blade features an upswept skinner profile designed for controlled, precise cutting. Its Farrier's Rasp carbon steel blade gives this knife a distinctive character, transforming a hardworking tool into a striking example of Herron Knives' dedication to craftsmanship and functional design.
A farrier's rasp is traditionally used by horseshoers to maintain hooves, with aggressive teeth on one side for rapid material removal and finer file teeth on the reverse for smoothing and finishing. Repurposing this durable tool steel into a knife blade gives the Small Upswept Skinner a unique connection to traditional craftsmanship and working tools.
The green and gold mica pearl resin handle adds a bold splash of color to this rugged design. Rich green tones contrast with brilliant gold accents, creating a distinctive pearl-like finish that catches the light. Its eye-catching appearance complements the blade's unusual material, making this skinner a memorable addition to any hunting kit or knife collection.

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 should never compromise beauty for functionality. His commitment to superior fit and finish, excellent craftsmanship, and carefully selected materials is evident throughout his work.
