PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.5″ Damascus Gut Hook Skinning Knife with Ash Wood Handle
The 3.5″ Damascus Gut Hook Skinning Knife – Ash Wood & Cross Cutouts combines a specialized field-dressing profile with meaningful Western details. Measuring approximately 7.5 inches overall, this handmade fixed-blade knife features a compact 3.5-inch Damascus steel blade, an integrated gut hook, three cross-shaped cutouts, and a natural ash wood handle decorated with turquoise-colored inlays. The pictured tooled leather sheath completes a practical setup for hunting, skinning, ranch work, and outdoor use.
The broad Damascus blade has a curved cutting edge and a defined point for controlled skinning and field-processing cuts. An integrated gut hook is positioned along the spine near the tip, providing a dedicated feature for carefully opening hide during field dressing. Flowing layered patterns remain visible across the steel, giving every blade its own visual character. Three cross-shaped cutouts add a recognizable faith-inspired accent while maintaining the knife’s rugged cowboy appearance.
The approximately 4-inch handle is crafted from ash wood, displaying straight natural grain and warm coloring. Bright turquoise-colored circular inlays create a bold Southwestern contrast across both the face and outer edges of the handle. Metal pins secure the scales, and a lined lanyard hole at the pommel provides an attachment point for an optional wrist cord. Because wood grain and inlay placement can vary slightly, every handmade handle may have an individual appearance.
A handcrafted cross-draw leather belt sheath is shown with the knife. It features black leather borders, dark stitching, a warm brown center panel, and detailed Highland cow artwork. Multiple belt slots allow horizontal or angled cross-draw-style positioning, depending on how the sheath is threaded onto the belt. Its broad pancake construction is designed to sit close to the wearer. Natural leather may display minor variations in grain, tooling, and color and will develop additional character through use.
This compact gut-hook knife is a practical choice for hunters who want one blade for both opening hide and completing controlled skinning work. Its Damascus pattern, triple-cross detail, ash wood, and turquoise accents also make it an appealing Western gift. Browse similar designs in our handmade skinning knives collection.

Clean the Damascus blade by hand and dry it immediately after use, paying particular attention to the gut-hook area. Apply a thin coating of suitable knife oil before storage. Keep the leather sheath dry and avoid storing a damp or unclean knife inside it for extended periods.

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!
