Caping knives are specialized tools designed for precise skinning and trophy preparation of game animals. Typically featuring a short, narrow blade (1.5–3 inches) with a pronounced point, they allow hunters to make intricate cuts around delicate areas like eyes, lips, and ears without damaging the hide. The small size and sharpness make them ideal for preserving the quality of the trophy mount. Caping knives are also versatile enough for tasks such as breasting small game birds and cleaning fish.
