The Predator Damascus Skinner Knife Kit is a compact, high-performance DIY blade platform built for makers who want a rugged, field-ready design with premium materials and strong custom-building flexibility. Designed around a modified drop point skinning profile, the Predator delivers excellent control for precision cuts, field dressing, and everyday utility tasks while maintaining the strength needed for real-world use.
Measuring 6.875 inches overall with a 2.625 inch blade, the Predator is purpose-built for maneuverability and fast handling in tight working conditions. The 1.50 inch wide, hollow-ground blade provides smooth slicing performance and reliable edge control, while the 0.165 inch thickness adds durability for demanding field tasks. The ergonomic tang design includes (2) 0.125 inch pre-drilled holes, giving makers a solid foundation for secure handle construction using the included stainless steel pinstock or optional custom fasteners.
This USA-made blade is forged from 416 layers of carbon steel Damascus, combining 52100, 5160, 203E, and 15N20 steels folded five times to create a bold, high-contrast pattern with proven cutting performance. Heat treated to 56–58 RC, each blade arrives ready for handle shaping, finishing, and full custom assembly.
The Predator Knife Kit is available in multiple build configurations to match different skill levels and workshop styles. The base kit includes the Damascus blade blank and stainless steel pinstock for complete custom handle creation. Combo kits expand the experience by pairing the blade with precision-cut hardwood handle scales in a range of premium species.
Whether you're building a compact field skinner, a personalized everyday carry knife, or a display-worthy Damascus collectible, the Predator Damascus Knife Kit provides a versatile, maker-focused foundation built for performance, creativity, and hands-on craftsmanship.
