PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Natural wood on a Damascus skinner keeps things refreshingly simple, no resin, no synthetic overlays, just treated grain paired with genuinely forged steel, the way ranch knives were built for generations before synthetic materials became common. There's a certain honesty to a wood-handled knife that many hunters and ranchers still prefer, valuing the way natural grain ages and develops character through years of handling. The Timberline Ranch Skinner Knife continues that straightforward approach rather than chasing trends toward more elaborate handle materials. This same commitment to simplicity and function defines every wood handle skinner knife we build in our workshop.
Introduction
At 9 inches overall, with a 5-inch blade and 4-inch handle, the Timberline Ranch Skinner Knife favors handle length over blade reach, giving you extended grip control during precision skinning tasks. This drop point ranch blade uses natural wood secured with silver pins, keeping the material palette intentionally simple rather than layering multiple textures or colors. The longer handle proportion suits hunters who value control during detail work more than raw cutting reach. Whether you're processing game in the field or handling general ranch chores, the balanced proportions keep the knife comfortable through extended use.
Timberline Ranch Skinner Knife Blade
The drop point profile on this hand-forged hunting knife offers a strong, controlled tip well suited for detailed skinning work around joints and hide without risking punctures into the meat underneath. Full tang Damascus steel with a satin polished finish runs the entire handle length, giving the knife consistent balance from blade tip through handle butt. This full tang skinner blade skips a bolster entirely, letting the wood transition directly into the steel for a clean, traditional look. That simplified junction reflects older knife-making traditions where bolsters were considered optional rather than essential.
Uses and Safety
This handmade ranch skinner works well for hunting, skinning, and general field dressing tasks where controlled, curved cuts matter more than raw chopping power. Dry the Damascus blade fully after each use to protect the forged pattern from surface rust, since even brief moisture exposure can begin affecting the layered steel. Clean the wood handle with a dry cloth, avoiding prolonged moisture exposure that could cause the grain to swell or crack over repeated wet-dry cycles. Store the knife properly between uses to preserve both the blade's edge and the handle's natural finish.

FAQs
Q: Why choose natural wood over resin?
It offers a classic, traditional look and feel that many hunters and ranchers still prefer over synthetic materials. Natural wood also develops character and patina through years of regular handling, something resin can't replicate.
Q: Is this knife suited for real field use?
Yes, the full tang construction and drop point profile support genuine hunting and skinning tasks rather than serving purely as a display piece. It's built to handle repeated field seasons.
Q: Does the satin finish need special care?
It's purely cosmetic, so drying the blade thoroughly after each use still matters to prevent rust from forming on the Damascus pattern beneath the finish.
Q: Is 9 inches practical for skinning game?
Yes, this length offers solid control for detail work around hide and joints while still handling larger game processing tasks comfortably.
Q: Is the Timberline Ranch Skinner Knife good for gifting?
Yes, its classic wood handle and genuine Damascus blade make it a practical, timeless gift for hunters and ranchers who appreciate traditional craftsmanship.
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!
