Measuring approximately \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 inches overall\u003c\/strong\u003e, this handmade fixed-blade knife is designed for controlled skinning, field dressing, ranch work, camp preparation, and everyday outdoor utility. Its broad D2 steel blade, cross cutout artwork, polished rosewood handle, and tooled leather sheath create a functional knife with a memorable cowboy-inspired presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe approximately \u003cstrong\u003e3.5-inch D2 steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e has a broad working profile, gently curved cutting edge, and defined drop-point tip. This combination offers useful edge contact for skinning while supporting careful cuts during field processing. Three cross-shaped cutouts create a recognizable visual detail across the blade without overwhelming its clean profile. The visible satin-style finish complements the dark cross accents and warm coloring of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe approximately 4-inch handle combines polished rosewood with a contrasting cream-colored front section. Rosewood brings rich reddish-brown tones and natural grain, so every handmade handle may display slight differences in color and pattern. Two brass-colored pins secure the handle components, while a lined lanyard hole at the pommel is fitted with a leather cord. A deep finger recess near the blade helps establish hand placement for deliberate, controlled cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA handcrafted \u003cstrong\u003epancake leather belt sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e is included for protected storage and convenient carry. The warm brown leather features detailed basket-weave tooling, a decorative stamped border, contrasting perimeter stitching, and a belt slot. Its flat pancake-style construction is designed to sit close against the belt while complementing the knife’s Western appearance. Natural leather grain, color, and tooling depth can vary slightly and may develop additional character with age and regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact D2 knife is a practical choice for hunters who prefer a manageable blade for close, precise field work. Its cross detailing and traditional materials also make it a thoughtful gift for ranchers, outdoorsmen, and collectors.

Apply a thin coating of suitable knife oil before storage. Although D2 steel offers practical corrosion resistance, it is not completely rustproof. Keep the leather sheath clean and dry, condition it occasionally, and avoid storing a wet or unclean blade inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHandmade fixed-blade field-dressing knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 7.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 3.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eD2 steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBroad drop-point field-dressing profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThree cross-shaped cutouts with a satin-style finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRosewood with a contrasting cream-colored front section\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Features\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrass-colored pins, lined lanyard hole, and leather cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSheath Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLeather\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSheath Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTooled pancake belt sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHunting, skinning, field dressing, ranch work, and outdoor utility\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSHAM Knives\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this field-dressing knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife measures approximately 7.5 inches overall and features an approximately 3.5-inch blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the three crosses on the blade represent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are decorative cross-shaped cutouts that give the knife a distinctive faith-inspired Western appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the pancake leather sheath included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
