PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Most ranch knife sets ship with matching handles. These two don't match, and that's the point. The Ranch Cowboy Knives set pairs two rasp steel blades with two distinct handle combinations. One knife runs olive wood with dark blue swirl resin. The other runs the same olive wood with light blue turquoise resin. Related but not identical. The kind of pairing that reads intentional rather than mass-produced.
Rasp steel starts as a farrier file. When a bladesmith reforges it, the original triangular tooth pattern stays across the blade face. That texture isn't added after forging. It is the material's history showing through. Each blade carries a slightly different pattern depending on the file it came from. Both blades in this set run 7 inches overall and carry a drop point profile suited for ranch chores and general outdoor work. Individual black tooled leather sheaths ship with both knives.
Ranch Cowboy Knives set at JW Steel Crafts, combining two rasp steel blades with olive wood and blue resin split handles in two distinct resin tones.
The History Behind This Blade
Farrier rasp steel has been repurposed into ranch knives for generations. Cowboys and blacksmiths recognized early that used horseshoeing files held a tough, workable edge. Olive wood handles have appeared on working knives across the Mediterranean and western traditions for their density and natural grip. Resin handle casting became a custom knife technique for adding color and moisture resistance. JW Steel Crafts forges each blade from reclaimed rasp steel and casts the resin handles individually.
Blade Performance
Rasp steel holds a tough cutting edge through heavy daily ranch use. The triangular tooth texture along the blade face adds grip on the spine during close work. Drop point profiles handle rope cutting, feed bag work, and outdoor tasks cleanly. Full tang construction keeps both knives balanced through repeated hard use. Wipe and oil both blades after use to keep the high-carbon steel rust-free.
Handle Construction
Olive wood and resin share each handle in a split construction unique to this set. Dark blue resin covers one knife. Light blue turquoise resin covers the other. A single brass pin locks each handle to the full tang blade. No bolster interrupts the transition from wood to steel. Resin sections resist moisture better than natural wood across daily outdoor handling. The olive wood develops character with use, while the resin holds its color.
Best Used For
These knives suit ranch hands who want a matched working set for daily outdoor carry. One on the belt, one in the truck. The rasp steel edge handles the same daily tasks ranchers have used file steel for across generations. Collectors drawn to natural material and resin combinations will find this pairing rare in a two-knife set format. As a gift, this set suits ranchers, cowboys, and western knife enthusiasts who value reclaimed steel.

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!
