PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Damascus hawkbill folding pruning knife opens to 7 inches overall with a 3-inch blade and a 4-inch handle. The blade is forged from Damascus steel in a wave-pattern finish. The handle pairs a dark rosewood upper scale with a cream bone lower scale and a wide flared bone bolster at the top. A mosaic cross pin sits on the handle face. A brass thumb stud opens the blade. A liner lock holds the blade rigid during use. No sheath included.
This is the only Damascus hawkbill folding pruning knife at JW Steel Crafts with a rosewood bone handle, mosaic pin, and flared bone bolster in this liner lock configuration.
The History Behind This Blade
Hawkbill pruning folders became standard carry tools for farmers, gardeners, and orchard workers across 19th century Europe and America, where a curved downward blade handled vine cutting, branch trimming, and rope work that straight blades could not grip cleanly. Bone and wood combination handles were the working standard on professional folding tools of that era — bone for smooth grip on the lower scale, dense wood on the upper for impact resistance. The JW Steel Crafts Damascus pruning folder carries that same working field tradition in every forged blade.
Blade Performance
The blade is forged from Damascus steel in a wave pattern finish. The hawkbill profile curves sharply downward from spine to tip — designed for pull cutting through vines, cord, rope, and branch material where a straight blade loses control. The curved tip draws cleanly through material on a single downward stroke without slipping off the cut line. Damascus steel holds a sharp working edge through sustained daily carry and field cutting use. The brass thumb stud allows fast one-hand deployment from a closed position.
Handle Construction
The handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper scale and cream bone on the lower scale. A wide flared bone bolster sits at the top of the handle, adding a distinct profile and protecting fingers during heavy pull cutting tasks. Rosewood is dense and moisture-resistant through daily outdoor carry. Bone provides a smooth, firm grip surface that does not slip in wet field conditions. A mosaic cross pin sits on the handle face, a decorative cross and compass pattern pressed into the handle for a bold visual detail. The liner lock engages automatically on blade opening and holds the blade rigid until manually released.

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!
