PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
If you do a lot of slicing — brisket, roasts, whole fish, long vegetable runs — the blade length and profile on this knife will make an immediate difference. This Damascus Gyuto chef knife carries an 8-inch blade on a 13-inch overall frame, giving you the reach for long, uninterrupted pull cuts without repositioning mid-slice. The curved belly rolls through a rocking chop cleanly, and the fine tip handles trimming and detail work without needing a second knife.
The blade is built from layered Damascus high-carbon steel — 1095 and 15N20 — with a raindrop pattern that develops through the forging process. Edge retention is strong, and the layered construction keeps the blade from flexing under pressure during heavier prep tasks like breaking down large cuts of meat.

Handle & Bolster
The solid brass bolster sits at the junction between blade and handle, adding weight exactly where it improves balance. It also protects your fingers during heavy chopping sessions. On a knife this size, that transition point matters — and brass holds up better than synthetic alternatives over years of daily use.
The red Pakka wood handle gives the knife its visual character. Five inches of grip length works well for most hand sizes, and the Pakka wood resists moisture without swelling or cracking the way natural wood sometimes does. It's a handle that looks good on day one and stays that way.
Full tang construction runs the steel the entire length of the handle, which keeps the knife from feeling blade-heavy during extended prep. The balance point sits naturally in your grip rather than pulling forward.
Best Gift For
BBQ enthusiasts, home cooks, professional chefs, knife collectors, groomsmen gifts, Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. Custom engraving is available — add your text at checkout or message the shop before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this knife good for slicing brisket?
The 8-inch blade length lets you pull through a full brisket flat in one or two strokes rather than sawing back and forth. The curved belly slicing knife profile keeps edge contact consistent across the full cut, which gives you cleaner slices with less tearing.
How is this different from the Kiritsuke listed in the store?
The Kiritsuke has a flatter edge and a more angular tip — better for push cutting and vegetable prep. This oversized Gyuto chef knife has a deeper curved belly, making it better suited for rocking cuts and long slicing tasks like carving roasts or breaking down larger proteins.
Is the brass bolster purely decorative?
No. The brass bolster brisket knife design uses the bolster for structural balance. It shifts the weight slightly toward the handle, which makes the knife easier to control during long slicing sessions.
Does the raindrop pattern affect performance?
The pattern is a result of the layering process, not applied afterward. The layered steel structure improves strength and edge stability. The visual pattern is a byproduct of how the steel was built.
How do I care for this knife?
Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Store on a magnetic strip, in a knife block, or in a sheath. Sharpen with a whetstone when the edge starts to dull — avoid pull-through sharpeners on Damascus blades.

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!
