Product Description
The Kershaw Deschutes Skinner 1883 is a fixed blade knife with a 3.9-inch D2 steel blade. It is built for skinning and field dressing, and it is small enough to carry all day without noticing it. Overall length is 8.65 inches, and it weighs 3.3 oz.
The blade is a drop point with a plain edge and a stonewash finish. It is 0.125 inch thick. D2 steel is rated at 59-60 hardness here. The drop point gives you a controlled tip and a good belly for long skinning cuts.
Full tang and a grippy handle
This knife uses full tang construction, so the steel runs through the whole handle. The handle is polypropylene with a rubber overlay in olive. The rubber helps your hand hold on when things get wet or messy. It belongs to the Deschutes series, and it has a nylon sheath for carrying.
It suits deer and small game hunters, hikers, and campers who want one light fixed blade for cleaning game, cutting cordage, and prepping kindling. Pair it with a belt or pack that works with a nylon sheath. A pocket sharpener or sharpening stone is a good addition for touching up the edge in the field. A fire steel and a good pair of field gloves round out a simple hunting or camp kit.
