The Compact Skinner Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted field blade also known as a small tracker knife. It measures 8 inches overall with full-tang construction and a black powder-coated blade for a low-glare, protected finish. The compact size gives precise control for skinning, field dressing, and general outdoor tasks.
This knife suits hunters, outdoor users, and collectors who value a practical, handmade field blade. Because each knife is hand-forged, small differences in finish give every piece its own character.
The skinner knife was shaped over generations as a specialist hunting tool, with a curved belly built to glide under a hide for clean, controlled cuts. The tracker style adds a versatile, compact profile suited to a wide range of outdoor jobs beyond skinning, from carving to camp work. Full-tang construction became the standard for these working blades because it resists bending and breaking under hard field use. A black powder coating adds a modern, low-glare look while helping shield the steel from the elements. This handmade compact skinner carries that practical heritage forward in a controllable, do-it-all field size.

Miracle cream!
This cream is unbelievable. goes in instantly, makes hands soft after one application and creates a barrier to protect your hands against cold and water. I live in VT and have tried numerous "extreme" hand creams that are heavy and greasy and useless~ this one is the best. I also like that it is fragrance-free except for that mild "Avene" spring water smell. I have two tubes, one for my night table and one next to the kitchen sink. I am 47 and have tried numerous face and body products`` you could say I used to be a "junkie" :) but I always come back to Avene. I have extremely sensitive skin and Avene products are a life saver.

My 75 year old hands appear softer and younger!
Avene Cicalfate Restorative Hand cream leaves my hands feeling very soft! A little goes a long way, I have had mine for a year. Soon I will be purchasing another tube. Yes, it is a little pricey for a hand cream, but does the job better then any other product I have used on my hands. Highly recommend this hand cream if you have dry, sensitive skin. It also has no added fragrance which I really appreciate!

Excellent product at a very good price. I will buy it again.
This is an excellent product at a fair price. The cream creates a barrier that protects the skin, while mosturizes it. leaves hands very soft, and it doesn't feel greasy. I know that this is a favorite brand (Avene) in France, and Amazon offers it at a very good price. I will buy it again, from Amazon. I bought it this year in Paris, and it was more expensive there.

Drying formula and smell bad
Smell so bad and made my hands dry instead of moisturizing. The formula is watery. Maybe it’s fake or expired I am not sure.
