The Tanto Skinner from Cochran Knife Company represents the perfect fusion of tactical blade engineering and Oregon's rich hunting heritage. The bold, geometric line of the tanto style grind create a visually striking knife that stands out in any collection while providing superior strength and precise control during critical field dressing operations. The high-polish finish not only enhances this blade's distinctive character but also improves corrosion resistance in the Pacific Northwest's challenging conditions.
As the distinguished big brother to our popular Cascade Skinner, the Tanto Skinner delivers enhanced performance for serious hunters who prefer a larger knife. The elegant bone handle offers a sophisticated touch while providing exceptional grip security in all weather conditions. Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended use, allowing you to focus on the task at hand rather than hand discomfort.
Cochran Knife Company's commitment to quality shines through in every aspect of the Tanto Skinner, from its razor-sharp edge to its balanced feel—a true heirloom-quality tool worthy of passing down through generations of hunters.

Unique Natural Bone Characteristics
Every Cochran Knife Company handle is crafted from genuine bone, which accepts dye differently based on its unique density, composition, and natural grain patterns. This natural variation ensures that each knife we create is truly one-of-a-kind, with differences in color saturation, tone, and pattern that make your knife distinctly yours.
The knives pictured on our website serve as representations of the general color and style of each model, but are not the actual knives for sale. The bone handle on your knife will feature its own distinctive character while maintaining our strict standards for quality, comfort, and durability.
We believe these natural variations aren't imperfections, but rather the authentic signature of a premium natural material that connects our modern craftsmanship to time-honored knife-making traditions.
Tanto Skinner Features
Premium 440C Stainless Steel Blade:
At the heart of this exceptional knife is a blade forged from premium 440C stainless steel. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, this high-quality steel ensures your knife will remain sharp and reliable through countless tasks. To maximize the potential of 440C steel, we subject it to a meticulous heat treatment and subzero treatment process.
Custom Bone Handle:
The handle of our skinning knife is a true work of art. Crafted from custom bone, each handle is unique, with its own distinct colors and character. Not only does the bone handle add a touch of elegance to the knife, but it also provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise and controlled handling in any situation. Every handle is meticulously glued into an inlay pocket in the knife for added strength and to ensure a waterproof seal. This construction not only enhances the knife’s durability but also adds to its aesthetic appeal.
Inlayed Pocket and Glued Handle:
To ensure the utmost strength and waterproofing, every bone handle is carefully glued into an inlayed pocket in the knife’s design. This meticulous process not only adds to the knife’s structural integrity but also creates a waterproof seal, making it easier to clean and maintain. The inlayed pocket provides a secure and stable foundation for the handle, ensuring that it remains firmly in place even during heavy use.
Handcrafted Leather Sheath:
To complement the beauty and functionality of the knife, we provide a handcrafted leather sheath. Designed to snugly fit the knife, the open sheath offers both protection and convenience, ensuring your knife is safely stored and readily accessible whenever you need it. The knife is secured in the sheath by a paracord lanyard, ensuring it stays in place even during rigorous activities. The lanyard features a reflective tracer, making it easier to locate your knife in low-light conditions. The sheath is available in two colors, dyed brown or raw hide.
Mirror-Finished Blades:
Our blades are finished to a mirror polish, which not only enhances their visual appeal but also offers practical benefits. A mirror finish reduces surface roughness, making the blade more resistant to corrosion and easier to clean. It also improves the blade’s ability to glide through materials, enhancing cutting performance and precision.
Full Tang Design:
The knife features a full tang design, where the blade extends the full length of the handle. This design provides exceptional strength and stability, as well as better balance and control during use. A full tang construction ensures the knife can withstand heavy use and offers increased durability, making it a reliable tool for any task.

The #31 Skinner is proudly made in the USA, reflecting our commitment to quality and supporting American craftsmanship.
