Skinning Knife Victory Knives NZ Made Wooden Handle with German High-Carbon Steel Blade for Hunters Pro Gear

Victory NZ Made Skinning Knife with Wooden Handle delivers field-tested performance for serious hunters and outdoor professionals. Crafted in Auckland, New Zealand, this knife pairs a German high-carbon steel blade with an ergonomically shaped wooden handle, designed to deliver precise, controlled skinning and clean edge work when it matters most.

The blade is a flat-ground skinner forged from German high-carbon steel, selected for its combination of hardness, durability, and wear resistance. A meticulous heat-treatment sequence—fast oil quench, followed by an overnight -78°C sub-zero temper and a second temper after hardening—yields a blade hardness of 54–56 HRC. The result is a blade that holds a sharp, reliable edge through extended field use while remaining tough enough to resist chipping on tougher hides.

The satin finish reduces glare and makes maintenance easier in the field.

The wooden handle is shaped for comfort and secure control, with two brass rivets ensuring long-term durability. Its balanced weight (approximately 162.5 g) and substantial grip provide confidence during long skinning sessions, whether you’re processing deer, boar, or other game.
