Victorinox Skinning Knife 18cm German

The Victorinox Skinning Knife 18 cm German Style is built for larger, more demanding skinning and trimming tasks across beef, lamb, pork and game. The longer curved blade makes it easy to work through broad surfaces, helping you remove hides smoothly and shape cuts with consistent results.

Swiss-made stainless steel delivers strong edge retention and durability for daily use. The extended blade length offers increased efficiency, while the German-style curve supports sweeping, powerful strokes. The textured Fibrox handle provides a dependable, non-slip grip — even when hands are damp or wearing gloves — allowing safe, confident movement through bigger skinning jobs.

This knife is well suited for commercial butchers, processors and farmers who need a durable, high-performance tool for preparing large animals or shaping bigger cuts for retail, storage or further processing.
