PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Redwood Trail Bull Cutter continues a ranch tool tradition dating back to nineteenth century American ranching, where cowboys needed one dependable blade for livestock handling, rope cutting, and general heavy field tasks. Straight back blade profiles offer a sturdy, unbending spine that handles pressure cuts better than a curved alternative would during tough ranch work. Dark red wood handles have long been valued in traditional knife making for their density and rich, warm tone that develops character through regular handling. Cross hatched texturing across the blade adds intentional grip during wet or messy livestock tasks, where a smooth surface can compromise control. Brass bolsters reinforce the connection point between wood and steel, an area that experiences the most stress during repeated ranch use. This combination of stainless steel and dark red wood reflects a working ranch knife tradition built for genuine daily reliability. The Redwood Trail Bull Cutter keeps that same rugged, functional heritage alive today.
Introduction
If you want a bull cutter built for real ranch work, the Redwood Trail Bull Cutter delivers exactly that kind of dependable field function. At 8 inches overall, with a 5 inch blade and 3 inch handle, this knife favors blade length for genuine cutting reach during livestock tasks. Dark red wood forms the handle, paired with a brass bolster that reinforces the wood to steel connection point. The stainless steel straight back blade features a cross hatched textured finish, adding intentional grip during regular ranch handling. This bull cutter suits ranchers who want a rugged, dependable blade for everyday chores and heavier cutting tasks. Full tang construction ensures the knife maintains consistent strength throughout repeated daily use. Browse more bull cutter knives in our ranch tool collection.
Redwood Trail Bull Cutter Blade
This straight back bull cutter blade is forged from stainless steel with a cross hatched textured finish, offering both corrosion resistance and intentional grip during livestock handling. Dark red wood forms the handle, secured through a brass bolster that reinforces the point where wood meets steel under regular stress. Full tang construction runs the steel through the entire handle length, keeping the knife balanced during heavier cutting motions. This ranch cutting knife works well for livestock handling, rope cutting, and general heavy duty ranch chores where a sturdy blade matters most. Clean and dry the stainless steel blade after each use, though this material resists corrosion better than carbon steel would. Clean the dark red wood handle with a dry cloth, avoiding prolonged moisture exposure that could affect the grain over time. Store the knife safely between uses and keep it away from children given its sturdy cutting edge. Handle this bull cutter with the same field care you would give any dependable working ranch tool.

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!
