Prior to Mists of Pandaria, a Skinning Knife allowed the player to skin the bodies of dead beasts, dragonkin, silithids, and (rarely) critters or humanoids to obtain leather, hides, dragonscales, scales, and silithid carapaces or chitin ( [Heavy Silithid Carapace],  [Light Silithid Carapace], and  [Silithid Chitin]). Sheep sometimes yield  [Wool Cloth].

"Skinning knife" is also the name for general skinning tools.

Notes

• Although this item can be equipped as a weapon, it does not count as a weapon for abilities that would normally require one, such as Heroic Strike and Sinister Strike.
•  [Finkle's Skinner] and  [Zulian Slicer] both give +10 skinning skill and, since patch 2.0.1, both may be used in place of this knife.

Patch changes

• β Patch 5.0.1 (Beta): No longer required for  [Skinning]. Damage increased to 2 - 6 from 1 - 3 and DPS increased to 2.6 from 1.3. Added effect: +10 Skinning; does not need to be equipped.
  
• Patch 1.1.0 (07-Nov-2004): Added.
