-The Skinners Friend Story-

    We are a farm family from central Illinois who love the outdoors and the wonders of God’s creation. The Skinner’s Friend idea was started as a way to help us skin hogs at our annual hog butchering day.  If you have ever skinned one you know that the skin does not just roll off and it’s tough to hang on to that greasy hide. 

   During trapping season my young boys started using the new tool to skin coons because they didn’t have the grip or strength to pull those hides by themselves. One day, a friend of mine stopped by to have us skin a coon for him and he saw the boys using our new invention. It was his excitement and encouragement that inspired my sons and me to start making these tools and share them with the rest of the “skinning” world.

  All Skinner’s Friend products are made and packaged by us at our home in Secor, Illinois, so we guarantee a quality product every time!
