skinning knife

This obsidian knife is based on authentic Hupa Indian knives from Northern California.  This knife has an obsidian blade set into a handle of Pacific yew.  The handle has both the lighter sapwood and darker heartwood.  That has significance since the Hupa also made their exquisite paddle bows from Pacific yew.  The rounded shape of the knife blade works perfectly with the natural pivot of our wrists to maximize the efficiency of the knife’s ability to remove the skin from large game like deer.  Total length of knife is 7 1/4 inches long.  Free shipping to all US customers.
