Jim Baker Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Skinner - Pakkawood and Brass

Jim Baker was a legend among mountain men. Friends with the like of Kit Carson and Jim Bridger, Baker was said to be brave and loyal to a fault. Baker also led a life of adventure. From battling with Native American Indians, to scouting for a railroad survey party in Salt Lake, to rescuing the daughter of a Shoshone chief. Jim Baker’s stories and adventures go on and on. This is the reason we have named this handmade Damascus steel skinner after him.

Don’t let the compact form of this knife fool you, this is definitely a man's man knife. The flat belly and skinner tip make this knife very easy to control and the large handle gives you plenty of leverage.

We like to think that Jim Baker would be very pleased to have this knife named after him and would have loved to have this knife accompany him through his many adventures. We also have a more compact skinner called the Colter with a Walnut Handle if the natural wood look appeals to you.
