The Compact Skinner Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted field blade also known as a small tracker knife. It measures 8 inches overall with full-tang construction and a black powder-coated blade for a low-glare, protected finish. The compact size gives precise control for skinning, field dressing, and general outdoor tasks.
This knife suits hunters, outdoor users, and collectors who value a practical, handmade field blade. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in finish give every piece its own character.
The skinner knife was shaped over generations as a specialist hunting tool, with a curved belly built to glide under a hide for clean, controlled cuts. The tracker style adds a versatile, compact profile suited to a wide range of outdoor jobs beyond skinning, from carving to camp work. Full-tang construction became the standard for these working blades because it resists bending and breaking under hard field use. A black powder coating adds a modern, low-glare look while helping shield the steel from the elements. This handmade compact skinner carries that practical heritage forward in a controllable, do-it-all field size.

FAQs
What makes a knife a skinner?
A skinner has a curved belly built for clean hide work. The shape helps make long, controlled sweeping cuts during field dressing.
Is it legal to carry a Skinner knife?
Knife laws vary by state and city, including blade length and carry rules. Always check your local regulations before carrying any knife.
What is the "Holy Trinity" of knives?
It usually means three core blades a person keeps for most tasks. A compact skimmer like this covers the outdoor role well.
What are three knives everyone should have?
Many people keep a skinner or hunting knife, a kitchen knife, and a utility blade. This compact Skinner covers the field role.
Why is this called a tracker knife?
The tracker style is a versatile, compact field profile suited to skinning, carving, and camp work, not just one task.
How do I care for a powder-coated blade?
Wipe it dry after use and keep exposed steel lightly oiled. Store it dry to protect the coating and the edge.

Fantastic
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
I am perennially in the process of rearranging, reorganizing, getting ready for yard sales, changing the functions of various rooms, moving everything out of a room to do a deep clean, etc, which means that there is always SOME part of my house, if not the entire thing, that is a disaster zone. Having someone knock on my door triggers a "duck and cover" reflex because it's so embarrassing for anyone to see that I live like this. (I *feel* like I don't, really, because I know that all the various stages are all temporary, but when there's always something temporary going on, it might as well be permanent, you know?)
So THANK HEAVENS for a room divider that is not only large enough to divide my uncomfortably long den in half the long way so I can shove all the messy parts up against the back wall -- that is not only simple and attractive and neutral and (this is important) NOT BLACK because I have multiple pets and anything black in this house will be pet-hair-colored within 20 seconds -- that not only has **SIX** panels for lots of options of how I want to divide the space/s -- but is also on WHEELS.
Someone out there really does love me, it's true!
The panels are stable *enough* - I'm not going to lie and say that nothing is going to knock them over, because I have some balance issues, and I also have cats, and both of those circumstances has resulted in a mess on at least one occasion. But in the cats' defense, they've never dealt with a room partition that didn't hang from the ceiling before; and in my defense, I just grabbed the first thing I could reach on the way down. Not the product's fault in either case.
Assembly was a little dicey as I am currently in **bilateral** (oh yes, that's fun) wrist braces, so I had to give up until I had help. But I think if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't have any difficulty.
The only down side is, now that I've hidden away all the mess so I can break out the holiday decorations, you know what happens next, right?? That's right... the PERMA-MESS ZONE. Oh no.
Oh well.

Difficult assembly, doesnβt fold well, looks good fully open
Color: Grey, Size: B-88''W-4 Panel
The instructions for this divider are very inadequate. After having to redo parts of the assembly, I have finally assembled it. The divider itself seems very nice when it is fully open, however it is not possible to fold it well as all the bars with the wheels go in various directions making it impossible to fold it neatly. And it has a large footprint. It is possible that I did not assemble it fully well because of the lack of adequate instructions. I am not even sure if I will keep it because I need to fold out of the way when nothing in use.

Slightly challenging build
Color: Beige, Size: A-88''W-4 Panel
This was my second screen set I've purchased, first of this style. Not the easiest to assemble. Lots of pulling and tugging; not a highlight in my day.

Commercial grade divider suitable for many needs
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
This item will be used at a future event where we need to separate a single locker room into two large areas, without any construction. This divider is perfect for the job because the partitions can be 1 to 6 panels and it will roll into place. When the event is over, the divider will fold/roll away and the locker room will return to its original design.
The unit is very heavy, which will ensure that it is sturdy and stable. All the components arrived, wrapped in plastic to prevent damage. The screen material is a woven polyester in a cream color that will occlude any visibility but it may be possible to see shadows on the opposite side. The height is about 6ft, which would require a very tall person to "peep over" the divider.
I needed a quality unit for this project and the frame, screens, and mobility will meet the needs. The divider is not the same as the small decorative dividers -- it is more of a commercial grade product, yet tasteful. If you want/need a small divider as an accent piece, this is not the best choice. This item could be used in a medical office, treatment/massage room, to divide an office room into two, or block a hallway in a building.
