The Blue Kirinite Farrier Rasp Skinner opens with a striking marbled handle. Deep blue and white swirl together like waves across the grip. That same handle pairs with a blade carrying real rasp history. A tight grid of etched triangles marks the steel close to the handle. Past that section, the steel opens into a bright, mirrored polish.
This skinner blade has a moderate belly, shaped for everyday field tasks. That curve gives you control during skinning and caping work. Kirinite is a durable acrylic material known for bold, swirled color. Each handle takes on its own unique blend of blue and white. That variety gives this knife real personality on the shelf.
The included sheath uses brown leather with a basket-weave tooling pattern. Tan stitching finishes the edges for a clean, tight seam. Rasp steel and Kirinite make an unusual, striking pairing on one blade.

The History Behind This Blue Kirinite Farrier Rasp Skinner
Horseshoeing has relied on steel rasps as a daily working tool. Years of that work leave the steel with a tight, useful grain. Kirinite came along much more recently as a modern handle material. Makers value it for bold color that never fades or dulls. This build brings that old steel tradition together with a fresh handle choice.
Kirinite Rasp Skinner Performance
This skinner cuts cleanly through hide without extra effort. The moderate belly gives you a clean, steady stroke on every cut. Rasp steel holds up well through repeated sharpening and daily use.
