Project Gorgon Skinning Knife: How To Get One
To get a Skinning Knife in Project Gorgon, become Friends with Lawara on Anagoge Island and she will gift you one. This is one of the earliest guaranteed ways to obtain it without relying on vendors or random discovery.
If you are stuck on skinning animals, this is likely what you are missing.
Where To Find Lawara
Lawara is located on Anagoge Island, the starting zone for Humans, Elves, and Rakshasa. She lives at a small camp and is one of the first NPCs new players interact with.
You can reach her early without combat difficulty.
How To Become Friends With Lawara
To receive the Skinning Knife, you must raise your Favor with Lawara to the Friends tier.
Favor increases by:
Completing her quests
Giving her items she Likes or Loves
Using Hang Out before logging off
Once you reach Friends, she will gift you the Skinning Knife.
This makes it a guaranteed acquisition method rather than hoping to find one elsewhere. However, if you don’t do this on Anagoge Island, you can get one in the Serbule markets no problem.
Do You Need To Equip The Knife
No.
The Skinning Knife only needs to be in your inventory. Once you have it, eligible corpses will show the skinning option.
If the option is not appearing, double check that:
The creature is skinnable
The knife is in your inventory
The corpse has not already been harvested
Why Skinning Matters Early
Skinning is one of the most consistent early game gathering skills. It provides materials for crafting, gifting, and selling. It also pairs well with Butchering if you are focusing on resource stacking for Favor.
Getting the Skinning Knife early opens up steady material income immediately after leaving Anagoge Island.
Final Thoughts
If you are on Anagoge Island and want a reliable Skinning Knife, prioritize Lawara. Reaching Friends with her gives you a guaranteed knife and sets you up for early resource gathering without extra expense.
That makes her one of the more valuable early NPCs for new players.
