The Hinderer Skinner Working Finish Black G-10 is a purpose-built folding knife designed to excel in demanding cutting tasks while maintaining the rugged durability and premium craftsmanship that have made Rick Hinderer knives legendary among enthusiasts and professionals alike. Combining a specialized blade profile with high-end materials and robust construction, this knife is ready to become a trusted companion in the field, on the job, or as part of a serious everyday carry rotation.
At the heart of the Skinner is a 3.5-inch CPM S45VN stainless steel blade. As one of the most advanced blade steels available today, CPM S45VN delivers exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. It's a steel designed for users who expect maximum performance and minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for a knife intended to see regular use.
The skinner blade profile is engineered for efficient slicing and controlled cutting. Its sweeping belly provides a generous cutting edge that excels at processing game, trimming materials, and performing detailed slicing tasks. While inspired by traditional hunting knives, the versatile blade shape is equally effective for everyday utility work, making it a practical choice for outdoorsmen, tradesmen, and EDC enthusiasts alike.
A rugged working finish gives the blade a worn-in, ready-for-action appearance while helping conceal scratches and signs of use. Rather than showing every mark, the finish embraces hard work and develops character over time, making it ideal for users who believe a knife should be used rather than admired from a display case.
The blade deploys smoothly using dual thumb studs, providing quick and reliable one-handed operation. Once opened, the blade locks securely into place with Hinderer's renowned frame lock mechanism. Known for its strength and reliability, the frame lock provides the confidence needed to tackle demanding cutting jobs with assurance.
The handle features textured black G-10 scales that deliver excellent grip in a wide range of conditions. G-10 is prized for its durability, resistance to moisture, and ability to withstand years of hard use. The ergonomic handle design provides a comfortable and secure hold, helping reduce fatigue during extended cutting sessions.
Measuring 4.72 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, the Skinner strikes an ideal balance between carry comfort and working capability. At just 4.8 ounces, it offers substantial strength without feeling overly heavy in the pocket. A tip-down pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick accessibility throughout the day.
Built with premium materials, proven engineering, and unmistakable Hinderer quality, the Skinner Working Finish Black G-10 is a hardworking folder ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
