PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Fire Pattern Damascus Kukri Knife brings a centuries-old chopping tool into the hands of modern collectors and outdoorsmen. Its recurved blade shifts weight forward toward the tip, giving every swing more chopping power than a straight blade of the same size. Flame-like waves run through the steel, a result of twisting the billet during forging, so the pattern shifts and catches light differently from every angle.
A small notch sits at the base of the blade near the handle, known traditionally as the cho. Beyond its symbolic roots, it keeps blood or sap from running down onto the grip, which matters more than it sounds during heavy field use. The handle itself is built from red pakka wood with a dark streak running through the center, capped with a polished steel bolster and secured by a single steel pin.
Fire Pattern Damascus Kukri Knife at JW Steel Crafts with a red pakka wood handle, steel bolster, and traditional cho-notch detailing.
The History Behind This Blade
The kukri's recurved shape dates back generations, famously carried by Gurkha soldiers for both fieldwork and combat history. Damascus forging is older still, prized for its strength and folded, layered pattern. Pakka wood handles became popular for their durability and resistance to moisture. JW Steel Crafts forges this blade by hand, keeping the traditional shape intact.
Blade Performance
Fire pattern Damascus steel holds an edge well through repeated heavy use. The recurved shape concentrates weight toward the tip, making chopping motions far more efficient. Full tang construction keeps the blade balanced even during forceful swings. The cho notch helps keep the handle area clean and the grip secure. As high-carbon steel, the blade benefits from regular oiling to prevent rust over time.
Handle Construction
Red pakka wood covers the handle with a dark center streak running through the grain. A steel bolster caps the base of the handle, adding both weight and a clean transition from wood to blade. A single steel pin runs through the handle for added hold and stability. Full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the grip, not just partway through. This build holds up well under the repeated impact that chopping work puts on a handle.
Best Used For
This kukri is built for heavy outdoor chopping tasks like clearing brush or splitting kindling. Campers and hikers carry it as a hybrid tool that functions like a knife and small axe. Collectors are drawn to the fire pattern blade, since the forging process makes every piece unique. It also works well as a display item for those who appreciate traditional Gurkha-style blades. As a gift, it suits anyone who values hand-forged steel and rugged outdoor tools.

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!
