PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This fire-pattern Damascus chef knife is a single professional kitchen knife built for daily prep work. The overall length is 13 inches with an 8-inch blade. The handle is shaped from olive wood and secured with brass pins. A dark bolster sits between the blade and handle. Full tang construction runs through the entire handle length for strength and balance throughout every cut.
The fire pattern forms naturally during the Damascus forging process. No two blades carry an identical pattern, which makes every knife visually unique.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from layered high-carbon Damascus steel in a fire pattern finish. The fire pattern is a result of the forge-welding and folding process during blade construction, not a surface treatment applied afterward. The layered structure builds consistent edge retention and cutting strength through repeated daily use. The 8-inch blade gives you enough length for large protein slicing, full vegetable prep, and detailed cutting work without switching to a second knife. The thin-edge geometry reduces drag and cuts through food cleanly with less effort. Full tang construction runs the full length of the olive wood handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and controlled cuts.
Handle Construction
The handle is shaped from olive wood. Olive wood is a dense, fine-grained hardwood with a warm, natural tone and tight grain pattern. It provides a firm, secure grip through both dry and slightly damp kitchen conditions. Two brass pins run through the primary olive wood section and lock the handle scales firmly to the full tang. The dark bolster at the blade-to-handle transition contains two smaller pins arranged vertically near the blade shoulder. Some versions of this knife also include a mosaic pin centered in the olive wood section for added visual detail. The dark bolster material provides front-end weight for better cutting balance and protects fingers from sliding onto the blade edge during heavy prep work.
Blade Care
Hand-wash this knife and dry it straight away after use. Do not put it in a dishwasher. Use wooden or soft plastic cutting boards to protect the edge. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the blade occasionally to maintain the Damascus surface between uses. Sharpen with a whetstone when the edge begins to dull.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fire pattern Damascus blade?
The fire pattern forms during forging when layered steel is folded and welded under a hammer. The flowing, flame-like surface pattern is a natural result of the forging process, not a surface coating or etching applied afterward.
Is every blade unique?
Yes. Each blade is hand-forged so the fire pattern varies on every knife. No two blades look exactly alike.
What is the overall length and blade length of this knife?
The knife measures 13 inches overall with an 8-inch blade and a 5-inch olive wood handle.
What are the brass pins on the handle for?
The brass pins lock the olive wood handle scales firmly to the full tang. They also add a warm visual contrast against the olive wood grain and dark bolster.
Is olive wood a durable handle material?
Yes. Olive wood is a dense, fine-grained hardwood that holds its surface finish well through regular kitchen use. Hand-wash and dry the handle after each use to maintain it over time.
Is this knife suitable for professional kitchen use?
Yes. The fire pattern Damascus blade, full tang construction, and 13-inch overall length make it suitable for both professional kitchens and serious home cooks.
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!
