Blue Ridgeline 3.5″ D2 Cowboy Skinning Knife
The Blue Ridgeline 3.5″ D2 Cowboy Skinning Knife with Cross-Draw Sheath combines compact field dimensions with bold Western styling. Measuring approximately 7.5 inches overall, this handmade fixed-blade knife is designed for hunting, skinning, field dressing, ranch work, and general outdoor utility. Its polished D2 steel blade, blue epoxy resin handle, distinctive cowboy artwork, and tooled leather sheath create a practical knife with a memorable ranch-inspired appearance.
The approximately 3.5-inch D2 steel blade features a compact drop-point profile with a gently curved cutting edge. Its broad belly provides useful edge contact for skinning, while the defined point supports controlled cuts during field-dressing work. A satin-style finish gives the blade a clean appearance. The circular cutout design depicts a cowboy beneath a cross, adding a distinctive Western and faith-inspired detail without overwhelming the functional shape of the blade.
The approximately 4-inch handle features blue epoxy resin with lighter swirls and darker sections that resemble a night sky or mountain ridgeline. Slight variations within the resin create visual depth and give every handmade handle an individual appearance. Two brass-colored pins secure the handle material, while a lined lanyard hole at the pommel allows the attachment of an optional wrist cord or hanging loop. Its curved profile and finger recess near the blade help establish a natural hand position during careful cutting tasks.
A handcrafted cross-draw leather belt sheath is included. The sheath combines black leather borders with a warm brown center panel, dark stitching, and detailed Highland cow artwork. Multiple belt slots allow it to be threaded for convenient horizontal or angled cross-draw-style carry, depending on the wearer’s preferred setup. The broad pancake construction is designed to hold the knife close against the belt. Natural leather grain, tooling depth, and color can vary slightly and will develop additional character over time.
The Blue Ridgeline is a strong choice for hunters who prefer a manageable fixed blade for close, precise field work. It also makes an attractive gift for ranchers, outdoorsmen, and collectors of handmade Western knives. Explore similar designs in our handmade skinning knives collection.

Clean the blade by hand and dry it immediately after use. Apply a thin coating of suitable knife oil before storage. Although D2 steel offers practical corrosion resistance, it is not completely rustproof. Keep the leather sheath clean and dry, condition it occasionally, and avoid storing a damp or unclean blade inside it.
