IVO 6” Butchers Skinning Knife 32306.15.01 is specifically designed for one purpose, to easily separate the skin or hide from the carcass without damaging the meat. This is why the skinning knife is often called a skinner. The special shapes of the blade allow even difficult cuts to be made precisely.
Skinning knives have a curved blade with a narrow tip and a curved belly that helps to cut through thick layers. The curved shape of the blade and drop point helps to minimise the risk of puncturing the hide.
