Featuring the utility of a drop point and enough belly for skinning, the Nyala Micarta Classic Skinner knife will prove useful in a multitude of applications. The integral handle and blade of CPM S35VN is sturdy and practical. Spiral and lineal grooves in the Micarta handle provide positive grip with good knife control. Additional knife control is provided by serrations on the spine.

The high quality sheath is made of leather by Gfeller Casemakers and is treated to be water resistant.

The Nyala is one of Chris's favorite African animals. It is a Southern African Antelope found in dense forested areas. They are prevalent in Mkuze Game Reserve in the northern KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa. This also happens to be one of Chris's favorite areas. Nyala (pronounced Nn-yaal-a) is the Zulu and Swahili name for this majestic Antelope.

Male Nyala Antelope are most easily recognized by their distinctive spiral horns and vertical striped bodies. The grooves on the handles of the Nyala Micarta Classic Skinner knife are reminiscent of those distinctive spiral horns, hence the decision to borrow the name!
