PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Few kitchen knives pull off both beauty and function this well. This handcrafted Damascus Kiritsuke chef knife is hammer forged from layered high-carbon steel, giving the blade a raindrop pattern that shows up differently on every single piece. That's not a marketing line — it's just how the forging process works. Each knife comes out with its own character.
The Kiritsuke shape is what sets this knife apart from a standard chef knife. The long flat edge is a dream for vegetable work, letting you rock or push cut cleanly without losing contact with the board. The upswept pointed tip gives you control for trimming, scoring, and detail cuts on fish or meat. Whether you're breaking down a whole chicken or slicing herbs for garnish, the blade profile keeps up without switching tools.

Handle & Build
The handle on this knife deserves a closer look. Red Pakka wood scales sit alongside rosewood, finished with mosaic pins that add a distinct, handcrafted detail you won't find on factory knives. Pakka wood holds up well under moisture and daily handling — it won't warp or crack with regular kitchen use. The rosewood brings in a warm, natural grain that contrasts nicely against the red.
Because this is a full tang Kiritsuke chef knife, the blade steel runs the entire 5 inches through the handle. That matters for balance. The knife sits forward in your hand the way a well-built kitchen knife should, and the weight stays consistent rather than feeling handle-heavy during long prep work.
Great Gift Choice
This knife works for home cooks, professional chefs, knife collectors, groomsmen gifts, Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. Custom engraving is available — add your text and placement preference at checkout, or message the shop directly before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kiritsuke knife actually used for?
It covers most of what a chef knife does, but with more precision. The flat edge handles push cutting and chopping cleanly, while the pointed tip gives you accuracy on detailed work — trimming fat, slicing fish, or portioning proteins.
Does the steel really vary per knife?
Yes. The layered Damascus steel blade is forged by hand, so the raindrop pattern shifts slightly from knife to knife. The steel layers, hardness, and edge characteristics remain consistent — the visual pattern is what changes.
Are the mosaic pins just decorative?
They secure the handle scales to the tang alongside the rosewood and Pakka wood. They're structural as well as decorative.
Is engraving available?
Yes — name, initials, or short text. Add the details at checkout or contact the shop before placing your order.
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!
