One of Silver Stag's top selling knives — and one feel of it in the hand tells you exactly why. The Silver Stag SS4.0 Smith Slab is a purpose-built skinning fixed blade from Silver Stag's renowned Slab Series, combining a 4" upswept D2 tool steel blade with the outstanding balance and control that only a genuine North American antler slab handle can provide. Built for the professional sportsman who demands the best, the Smith Slab is a must-have for anyone who spends serious time in the field.

The 4" upswept blade is handmade from D2 tool steel — an air hardening, high carbon, high chromium tool steel heat treated by Silver Stag to 62 Rockwell hardness, producing a blade that retains its factory edge through extended periods of heavy field use and hones back to a razor edge when resharpening is needed. The upswept blade geometry is Silver Stag's preferred skinning profile — the curved belly and upswept tip allows for long, precise skinning strokes that follow the natural contours of the animal, giving you exceptional control and efficiency whether you're pulling hide on a whitetail or working through the shoulders of a bull elk. Note that a light coat of oil after use keeps the D2 blade in peak condition.

The genuine North American antler slab handle is the hallmark of Silver Stag's Slab Series — each slab is individually cut, polished, and pinned through the full tang blade by Silver Stag craftsmen, giving the knife outstanding control and balance that feels natural in the hand from the very first cut. Because antler is a natural material, no two handles are ever identical — the color, texture, grain pattern, and natural character of your Smith Slab will be completely unique to you. Comes with a high-quality leather pouch sheath with antler tip leather lanyard. Proudly 100% made in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty.
