PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This forged Damascus Nakiri chopper gives you a wide rectangular blade built for clean, powerful chopping and slicing work. The overall length is 10 inches with a 6-inch blade and a 4-inch black resin handle. The blade carries a distinct ladder pattern across the full flat. An engraved Damascus steel bolster with a decorative scroll pattern sits between the blade and handle. A hand-tooled leather sheath with an embossed decorative pattern is included for safe carry and storage.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel in a ladder pattern finish. The ladder pattern forms during the forging process when the layered steel billet is ground in a series of parallel grooves before final shaping. This creates the distinct horizontal banded surface pattern visible across the full blade flat. The wide, rectangular blade profile delivers clean downward cuts through vegetables, herbs, and proteins without the rocking motion needed on curved chef blades.
The flat cutting edge makes full contact with the board on every stroke for clean, precise cuts. Full tang construction runs through the entire black resin handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled chopping throughout extended prep sessions.
Bolster Construction
The Damascus steel bolster between the blade and handle is engraved with a decorative scroll pattern. The bolster is forged from the same layered Damascus steel as the blade, giving it a matching surface character that visually connects both ends of the knife.
The engraved scroll detail makes this bolster a standout feature that distinguishes this chopper from every other knife in the JW Steel Crafts lineup. The bolster adds front-end weight for better cutting balance and protects fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy chopping work.
Handle Construction
The handle is shaped from black resin. Black resin does not absorb moisture, does not swell or crack, and holds its surface finish through heavy daily use. Silver pins run through the handle to lock the scales firmly to the full tang for long-term structural reliability. The 4-inch handle sits firmly in the hand and provides a secure grip throughout chopping and slicing tasks.
Tooled Leather Sheath
The included leather sheath features a hand-tooled, embossed decorative pattern across the outer surface. It protects the blade during carry and storage and is designed for belt carry during outdoor and kitchen use. The embossed sheath matches the decorative character of the engraved bolster for a consistent handcrafted finish across the full set.

Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
