The Old Glory Cowboy Skinner Knife continues an old ranch tradition of turning worn tools into working blades. Farriers used rasp tools daily to shape and trim horse hooves, and once a rasp wore down, skilled smiths reforged it into a knife rather than discarding it. This practice gave old tools a second life as durable, character-filled blades. That same tradition shapes every American Heritage Knife we forge today.

Hand-engraved leather sheaths carry their own Western tradition, turning practical carry gear into something with real meaning. This detail reflects a pride in American craftsmanship that goes beyond the blade's practical function.

Introduction

If you want a knife with real ranch heritage, the Old Glory Cowboy Skinner Knife delivers both history and everyday function. At 7 inches overall, it's sized right for daily carry while still offering solid cutting capability. As a Western Ranch Knife, its rasp steel blade carries the kind of rugged character that only comes from reforged tool steel. The multi-resin handle gives this knife a distinctive, colorful look, while the hand-engraved leather sheath adds a detailed, artisan finish. As a Cowboy Belt Knife, it's built for hands-on ranch work, not just display.
