Dexter Russell Skinning Knife - 15cm Sani Safe

The Dexter Russell Skinning Knife 15 cm is built for jobs that require a steady, sweeping cut such as skinning beef, lamb, pork and game. The broad curved blade moves well through hide and fat, making it suitable for both professional butchers and farmers processing their own animals.
