Description
Layered chevron-pattern wood construction requires the maker to glue and shape angled strips of black and natural wood so their grain lines meet in a distinctive zigzag, the same technique found in fine flooring and furniture work adapted here into a knife handle. Pairing that construction with a liner lock folding mechanism gives collectors a genuinely secure, well-built folder rather than a purely decorative piece. The Timberline Trapper Skinner brings both together, continuing the tradition of every layered wood handle knife built with real craftsmanship depth.
Introduction
At 8 inches when open, with a 3-inch blade and 5-inch handle, the Timberline Trapper Skinner favors handle length for extended grip control. This brass bolster trapper features layered chevron-pattern wood in black and natural tones, secured by a liner lock mechanism. The Damascus steel blade carries an etched wave pattern throughout. This piece suits collectors who want genuine assembled wood craftsmanship in a folding format.
Timberline Trapper Skinner Blade
The drop point folding blade on this spacer handle skinner offers a strong, controlled tip suited to detail work and general field tasks. Damascus steel with an etched wave pattern runs through this timberline themed blade, giving it genuine forged character visible once etched. The liner lock mechanism secures the blade open during use, adding a layer of safety during regular handling.
This trapper style skinner works well for everyday carry, skinning, and general field tasks where a secure locking folder matters. Always open and close the blade carefully to avoid accidental injury. Dry the Damascus steel fully after any wet-condition use to protect the forged pattern from rust.
