The Alaska Brown Bear Skinner/Cleaver is a hefty, versatile knife designed for big game hunters. D2 Tool Steel: Known for its durability and ability to hold a good edge (Rockwell Hardness: 55-57), this blade tackles demanding cutting tasks with ease. Heavy-Duty Cleaver: The cleaver design excels at chopping through bone when field dressing. It can also clear campsites and chop tree limbs for blinds, shelter or firewood. Practical Skinning Knife: The blade features a rounded Alaskan Ulu style point, which provides a long skinning radius for efficient processing of large animals. Finger hole in the blade: The finger hole facilitates comfortable skinning by reducing wrist fatigue. Stag Handle: The large size of the handle in beautiful, classic stag looks truly exceptional. We use genuine elk antler and stabilize it for durability.
