Browning 3220554 Sharp Ridge Skinner 3.50" Fixed Drop Point Plain 8Cr13MoV SS Blade, Orange Anti-Skid Rubber Handle
The Browning Sharp Ridge Skinner is a purpose-built fixed blade knife designed for hunters and field dressers who demand a reliable, no-nonsense tool. Built around a 3.50-inch drop point blade forged from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, this skinner delivers the edge geometry and durability field work demands—plain, unserrated blade that's straightforward to maintain and sharpen in the field or at home.
What sets the Sharp Ridge apart is its orange anti-skid rubber handle, engineered for secure grip even in wet, blood-slick conditions where control matters most. The drop point profile gives you excellent control during detail work, whether you're breaking down game, processing fish, or tackling camp chores. This is a fixed blade knife, so there's no pivot to fail and no folding mechanism to foul—just a solid, compact tool that's ready when you are.
Browning has built a solid reputation for delivering honest, working gear at fair value, and the Sharp Ridge Skinner fits that tradition. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, which is especially valuable in wet hunting camps or after processing near water. This isn't a fancy collector's piece; it's a working knife that earns its place on your belt or in your pack, season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skinner knife used for?
A skinner is designed for field dressing game, particularly the delicate work of separating hide and fur from meat without puncturing the hide or contaminating the meat. The drop point profile gives you precise control for this detail work. Hunters and processors also use skinners for general camp tasks, fish preparation, and other field jobs.
Will the orange handle be slippery when wet or bloody?
The handle is constructed with an anti-skid rubber material specifically designed to maintain grip in wet, slippery conditions—exactly what you face during field work and game processing. That said, as with any knife, rinsing and drying the blade and handle between cuts is good practice for both safety and longevity.
Is this blade easy to sharpen?
Yes. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel takes an edge well and can be maintained with standard sharpening tools—whetstones, honing rods, or bench sharpeners. The plain, unserrated edge is straightforward to work with, unlike serrated blades that require specialized sharpening equipment.
Is this a full-tang fixed blade knife?
