The Chevron Wood Handle Rasp Skinner wears a genuinely distinctive handle. Strips of light and dark wood alternate in a classic chevron pattern. Each angled strip meets the next in a clean, pointed zigzag. Cross-hatch texture covers the blade near the heel, carried over from the rasp. The edge past that section runs bright and fully polished.
This skinner carries a moderate belly shaped for real field work. You get real control from that curve during skinning and camp work. Chevron patterns come from cutting wood strips to meet at a precise point. That technique takes real skill and produces a genuinely striking result. No other handle in the shop uses this exact construction method.
A two-tone leather sheath ships with this knife, tooled in a basket-weave pattern. A leather lanyard already threads through the handle's butt end. This build earns real attention through pattern alone, blade aside.

The History Behind This Chevron Wood Handle Rasp Skinner

This knife puts that decorative woodworking tradition onto a working tool.
