The Blue River Skinner is a beautifully crafted yet full functional work of art. The very wide, full-tang blade is made from 440 stainless steel, and has a nice belly for skinning. The blade also isn't too long, which allows for more wrist flexibility and precision while skinning. The handle is made from walnut with a turquoise inset, and is held onto the thick tang with brass rivets.
The thick leather sheath is a traditional flat style, with lightly carved artwork of figures spear-hunting a bison, along with a strip of woven fabric. It has a belt loop riveted to the back.
