PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Stag Antler Cleaver Skinner Knife brings old-world skinning tradition into one handcrafted blade. Hunters have trusted cleaver-style skinners for generations because the wide belly makes quick work of hide and cartilage. This knife pairs that proven shape with a hand-selected stag antler handle, so no two knives look exactly alike.
Every blade starts as raw Damascus steel, forged and folded to build strength layer by layer. The steel is shaped into a broad, flat-spined skinner profile built for control during field dressing. A full tang core runs through the antler handle, giving the knife balance you can feel in every cut.
This is not a knife stamped out by machine. Each stag antler grip is chosen for its natural color and texture, then fitted by hand to the tang. The result is a working tool with character-factory knives that can't be matched.
Stag Antler Cleaver Skinner Knife at JW Steel Crafts with a raindrop Damascus pattern, natural stag antler handle, and brass-accented pin work.
The History Behind Stag Antler Cleaver Skinner
Cleaver-style skinners trace back to frontier butchering knives built for speed and control. Damascus steel dates back centuries and is prized for its folded strength and flowing pattern. Stag antler handles have been used on hunting knives since the early trapping days, valued for their grip and durability. JW Steel Crafts continues that tradition, forging each blade and fitting each handle by hand at the forge.
Blade Performance
The Damascus steel edge on this skinner holds a working sharpness through extended field use. Its broad, flat-spined profile gives more belly for skinning and caping without extra effort. The full-tang construction adds strength throughout the handle, so the blade won't flex under pressure. Wipe the blade dry after use and apply a light coat of oil to keep the pattern sharp and the steel rust-free.
Handle Construction
Natural stag antler brings texture and grip that synthetic handles cannot copy. Each antler crown is fitted tight to the tang with silver pins and a brass-accented spacer for extra hold. Because the tang runs the full length of the handle, the grip stays solid even during hard use. Stag antler also resists moisture better than many woods, holding up well in wet field conditions.
Best Used For
This skinner knife works best for field dressing deer, small game processing, and everyday camp tasks. Its compact size and antler handle also make it a strong pick for collectors and gift buyers. Order the Stag Antler Cleaver Skinner Knife today. Each stag handle is individually forged, and no two grips look alike.

Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
