PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Most gut hooks sit along the spine near the tip, but placing one closer to the bolster changes the mechanics slightly, you get a shorter working distance for the hook motion, which some hunters prefer for tighter, more controlled opening cuts. The Antlerhook Field Knife uses that near-bolster placement deliberately, built as a gut hook hunting knife where hook position was a design choice, not an afterthought.
Introduction
At 9 inches overall, with a 4-inch blade and 5-inch handle, the Antlerhook Field Knife favors handle length over blade reach, giving you more grip surface for extended field sessions. This antler handle field knife uses natural stag horn, and rather than a traditional leather sheath, it comes with a black fabric/suede pouch for storage.
Antlerhook Field Knife Blade
The drop point skinner profile on this hand-forged skinning knife carries the gut hook positioned near the bolster rather than closer to the tip, which shortens the hook's working stroke but keeps it within easier reach during use. Full tang construction runs the Damascus steel through the entire handle, giving this natural antler grip knife consistent balance despite the longer grip length.
Because the gut hook sits near the bolster on this build, the motion for opening hide differs slightly from hooks positioned near the tip, except a shorter draw distance per stroke, which some users find easier to control. This outdoor field dressing knife stores in a black fabric/suede pouch rather than rigid leather, so handle it with a bit more care during transport since the pouch offers less structural protection than a stiff sheath. Dry the Damascus blade fully after field use to protect the forged pattern from rust.

FAQs
Q: Why is the gut hook positioned near the bolster instead of the tip?
This placement shortens the working stroke of the hook motion, which some hunters find easier to control during detail field dressing work.
Q: Why does this knife come with a pouch instead of a leather sheath?
The fabric/suede pouch offers a softer storage option, though it provides less rigid protection than a stiff leather sheath during transport.
Q: Is natural stag horn a durable handle material?
Yes, stag horn holds up well to regular field use while offering natural texture that varies slightly between individual pieces.
Q: Does the gut hook's near-bolster placement limit its usefulness?
No, it still performs the same core function, just with a shorter stroke distance compared to hooks positioned closer to the blade tip.
Q: Should I transport this knife differently because of the pouch?
Handle it with a bit more care than you would a rigid sheath, since the fabric/suede pouch offers less structural protection during movement.
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!
