Detailed product description
🗂️ Emerson Market Skinner – hunting-style classic with a tactical spirit
The Emerson Market Skinner draws inspiration from historical skinner knives of the 17th–18th centuries, combining traditional ergonomics with a robust construction suited to modern hunting and tactical use. Its large, curved blade with a subtle clip point profile and slightly metallic, rugged stonewashed finish make it a versatile tool for processing meat as well as everyday cutting tasks.
The 154CM stainless steel blade (57–59 HRC) features a V-Grind with a chisel edge, allowing easy field sharpening, while its thicker profile delivers excellent cutting performance. The patented Wave opener enables instant deployment as the knife is drawn from the pocket – practical when time matters. The black G-10 handle scales are paired with a titanium alloy liner lock and a metal clip for right-hand tip-up carry.
