PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Plain steel done right looks different from Damascus done carelessly. The Custom Drop-Point Skinner Knife makes that point clearly. A high-polish carbon steel blade catches light across its full surface without a pattern to compete for attention. The mirror finish isn't decorative; it shows the geometry of the drop point profile honestly, and that geometry is what hunters actually need from a dedicated skinner.
The drop point knives keep the tip strong and controlled. The belly curves gradually from spine to edge, giving the blade long, consistent surface contact during skinning strokes. At 9 inches overall, the knife sits in a practical hunting size. It handles field dressing without the bulk of a larger fixed blade getting in the way.
An olive micarta handle covers the grip in a dark, canvas-textured finish that holds firm whether hands are dry, wet, or gloved. A single turquoise pin sits centered on the handle, adding a small natural color detail against the dark green tone. The tan teardrop leather sheath features diamond-pattern tooling and a leather lanyard tie, built for belt carry in the field.
The History Behind This Blade
Drop point skinners developed from hunters who needed a controlled tip that stayed safe during field dressing. Carbon steel blades were the working hunter's standard long before stainless alternatives became common. Micarta handles entered custom knife making for their grip stability and resistance to moisture and impact. JW Steel Crafts builds this knife by hand, keeping the blade geometry clean and the construction straightforward.
Blade Performance
High-polish carbon steel holds a sharp edge through repeated field dressing sessions. The drop point tip stays strong under lateral pressure during controlled piercing work. A gradual belly curve gives the blade long surface contact on each skinning stroke. Full tang construction keeps the knife balanced and steady throughout field use. Carbon steel sharpens back up quickly on a whetstone when the edge needs refreshing.
Handle Construction
Olive micarta brings a dense, canvas-textured grip that holds firm under any field conditions. A single turquoise pin locks the handle to the full tang blade and adds a natural color detail. No bolster interrupts the transition from micarta to steel, keeping the profile clean and slim. Micarta resists moisture, swelling, and impact better than natural wood handles in outdoor conditions. Full tang construction runs the entire handle length for consistent balance during use.
Best Used For
This knife is built for hunters who want a dedicated drop point skinner without Damascus premium pricing. The high-polish blade and clean profile also make it a strong collector piece for anyone drawn to well-executed plain steel. Carbon steel buyers specifically look for this combination — sharp, predictable, and easy to maintain in the field. As a gift, it suits hunters, outdoorsmen, and collectors who value function and clean knife design over decorative pattern work.

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!
