Boot Skinner - DIY Knife Kit - (w/Handle Combos)
$19.95 - $44.50
- SKU:
- KK465BL-VAR
The Boot Skinner series combines compact carry dimensions with the working performance of a true field knife, creating a versatile platform that feels equally at home on a hunting trip, at camp, or riding discreetly as an everyday carry blade. Designed with a clean, purposeful profile and excellent hand feel, the Boot Skinner delivers the balance, control, and cutting performance craftsmen expect from a serious custom build.
At the core of every variation is a hollow-ground AUS8 stainless steel blade that has been both heat treated and cryogenically treated for dependable edge retention, toughness, and long-term durability. The satin-finished blade measures 2.75 inches long with a 6.00 inch overall profile, giving the Boot Skinner enough blade for real working utility while remaining compact enough for belt, boot, or pack carry.
The full kit platform includes precision-fit 420 stainless steel bolsters with matching bolster pins, stainless steel pinstock, and stainless thong hole tubing, creating a clean and durable foundation for custom finishing. The slim profile and .115–.117 inch blade thickness give the knife a fast, responsive feel in hand while still maintaining enough strength for field and utility use.
Available configurations range from blade-only kits for complete customization to DIY packages featuring premium hardwood handle scales including Bubinga, Curly Maple, Purpleheart, Yellowheart, Bloodwood, Canarywood, Padauk, Walnut, and Zebrawood. Select variations include slab-cut scales for traditional custom fitting, while the pre-machined handle options provide an accelerated build process with oversized scales ready for final shaping and finishing.
Whether finished as a rugged hunting skinner, a refined collector piece, or a discreet tactical-style carry knife, the Boot Skinner series delivers a compact fixed blade platform with the materials, proportions, and performance to become a knife you’ll actually want to carry.
