Blade Shapes Defined

BLADE SHAPES DEFINED
All blade shapes have pros and cons, so Buck Knives recommends these basic blades shapes. Usually a combination of knives with these shapes will best suit your needs.
Skinner - Best suited for skinning game. The tip is narrow, while the wide curved belly gives a nice skinning sweep that aids in getting through thick layers. The downward angled, more blunt point makes it harder to make an accidental slice through the hide by mistake. The blade grind leaves a thicker point which can be a leveraging tool when popping joints for quartering. The skinner’s wide blade is not suited for fine detailed work.
