No, I'm sorry.

We've already established that he slaps a mean bass.

Can we order the leather sheath from you guys with the standard skinner model?

 

[stjones]

Are the leather sheaths left hand friendly?

Only if your a right handed lefty hahahaha

 

[mully]

Is a taco or pancake kydex an option for the skinner? And is scarlet linen not an option?

 

[XtianAus]

Nathan, is the tip on the skinner more delicate than the dek1 or Edc?
I am not a hunter and kind of want to use it as a small general purpose utility knife

 

[Fonedork]

Can someone please get xtianauss a flathead screwdriver already

 

[XtianAus]

Thin tips have one use. And are susceptible to breaking. Reinforced tips, while not as slicey, have a variety of uses.
And I dont have to be careful sticking my knife into wood

Idk, i just dont understand why you wouldnt want one

Scarlet linen is not an option. I'm not sure about the sheaths yet.

I'll check with Chad but he usually makes them ambidextrous. I think maybe his wife a lefty so he sensitive to that.

Bro, it's just not really designed for stabbing into wood in general.I get it, that might feel sad for you or for your purposes.But this is a Skinner.It's meant to be sharp and thin.You've got the Fat Bastard for stuff like that kind of thing.You can probably whittle wood with the Skinner, but not do power stabs / hard pokes.It's kind of normal / expected that it's not supposed to do that…



If you want make it more friendly for stabbing/poking into wood,we’re the ones who’ll suffer — the people who will actually use the knife for its intended purpose.

What if the beast turns out to be wooden?!

Yes

Standard Skinner comes with a kydex sheath.

I'm sure we will have some leather sheaths left over that will be available for sale

Maybe?

No. I don't like taco, they cause too many problems.
