Harvested from the strongest part of the animal, this natural deer and elk backstrap sinew is perfect for primitive projects, leatherwork, bowstrings, sewing buckskin, hafting points, and traditional crafts. Each piece is fully dried, cleaned, and ready to process or shred into fibers.
Sinew has been used for thousands of years as nature’s original cordage — incredibly strong, lightweight, and adhesive when paired with hide glue. This material is ideal for anyone practicing primitive skills, bushcraft, or traditional hide tanning who values authentic, field-proven materials.
Available in a variety of sizes and weights depending on your project needs. Hand-collected, naturally processed, and stored without chemicals.

Unlike artificial sinew, real backstrap sinew shrinks as it dries, creating a natural grip that locks materials in place. It’s a cornerstone of traditional toolmaking, used by Indigenous peoples and primitive technologists around the world for millennia.
