Artisan Tool

Common

Crafted from chitinous steel this small blade is the perfect implement for skinning beasts, aberrations, monstrosities, and dragons. Buck has had these crafted exactly to his specifications. After decades of leather working he’s designed the ideal knife to replace the one in a standard set of leatherworking tools.

Anyone with this knife can attempt to collect skins, but it is not a complete set of leatherworker’s tools, only allowing for the collection of skins to later be delivered to Buck. Any skins collecting using this knife will be worth more to Buck, rather than paying in gold he will pay in Luminous Sapphire Marks based on the size and affect of the skin.

Size	Payout
Small	1 Mark
Medium	2 Marks
Large	4 Marks
Huge	10 Marks
Gargantuan	20 Marks

This knife is specially made so that it will help preserve the qualities the creature had in life. Some of these may be able to brought out in the leather when it is tanned and prepared. Creatures with these properties that are skinned with one of Buck’s knives are worth more to him.
