Getting To The Point With Rick - Skinner Grind Media

Published: 1 week ago

From the frontier to your pocket — the Skinner grind is a blade shape born from purpose. In this episode of Getting to the Point, Rick Hinderer dives into the history, design, and function of the Skinner blade.

Originally crafted for hunters who depended on their knives for survival, the Skinner’s sweeping edge provided precision and control when dressing game. Rick brings that same utility forward into the XM platform — refining a classic frontier profile into a modern-day hard-use EDC knife that excels in the field, the shop, and everyday carry.

Whether you’re a hunter, craftsman, or simply someone who appreciates purpose-built design, the Skinner delivers the control and cutting efficiency that made it a legend.
