PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This forged Damascus skinner knife is built for hunters and outdoor users who need a compact, precise blade for field dressing and skinning work. The overall length is 7 inches with a 3.5-inch blade and a 3.5-inch red Micarta handle. The curved skinner profile gives you smooth, controlled cuts through skin and tissue during game processing. A leather sheath is included for safe belt carry in the field.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from layered Damascus steel in a twist pattern. The layered construction builds consistent edge retention and cutting strength through demanding outdoor field use. The 3.5-inch curved blade follows the natural contour of game during skinning work, which reduces tissue damage and gives you cleaner cuts with better control throughout detailed field dressing tasks.
The compact 7-inch overall length makes this knife easy to manage in tight spaces during game processing without sacrificing cutting performance. Full tang construction runs through the entire red Micarta handle and spreads weight evenly from blade tip to handle base for stable and precise cutting on every stroke.
Handle Construction
The handle is shaped from red Micarta. Micarta is a composite material made from layers of linen or canvas saturated with resin under high pressure. It is one of the most durable handle materials used on outdoor and hunting knives. Red Micarta does not absorb moisture, does not swell or crack in wet field conditions, and holds its surface texture through heavy outdoor use.
The 3.5-inch handle sits firmly in the hand for controlled close-work cutting during skinning and field dressing tasks. The textured Micarta surface stays grippy in both dry and wet conditions, which matters most during field dressing work where hands are often wet. Full tang construction is pinned and secured through the red Micarta scales for long-term structural reliability.
Leather Sheath
The leather sheath protects the blade during carry and storage. It is designed for belt carry during hunting trips, keeping the knife accessible in the field without a bag or pack. The sheath keeps the blade edge protected between uses and reduces wear between sharpening sessions.
Blade Care
Hand-wash this knife and dry it straight after field use. Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the Damascus steel surface after cleaning to protect the layered steel and slow the development of patina. Store the knife in the leather sheath in a dry location between outdoor trips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this knife different from the ram horn Damascus skinner at JW Steel Crafts?
This knife uses a red Micarta handle in a 7-inch overall configuration. The ram horn skinner is 6 inches overall with a natural horn handle. The materials, size, and grip characteristics are completely different between the two.
Why is red Micarta a good handle material for outdoor knives?
Micarta does not absorb moisture, does not swell or crack in wet conditions, and stays grippy through heavy field use — which makes it one of the most reliable handle materials for hunting and outdoor knives.
What is the blade and handle length on this knife?
The blade and handle are each 3.5 inches, for a 7-inch overall length.
What is a twist Damascus pattern?
The steel billet is twisted during forging before being shaped into a blade. This creates a spiral surface pattern that is unique on every knife and strengthens the layered steel structure throughout.
Is the leather sheath included?
Yes. The leather sheath is included and designed for belt carry during hunting and outdoor use.
Is this knife full tang?
Yes. The tang runs the full length of the red Micarta handle for strength, balance, and long-term durability under outdoor use conditions.
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!
