PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Pinecone Epoxy Ranch Knife pairs a reclaimed rasp steel blade with a brown and white pinecone resin handle that no factory can replicate on a production line. What sets this knife apart from the moment you see it is the blade finish — a blue patina across the entire surface gives the steel a distinctive oxidized tone that sits somewhere between a working tool and a collector's piece. The triangular tooth pattern left behind by the original farrier rasp file adds texture to the surface, making the blade visually distinct from any standard forged steel.
A real pinecone sits stabilized in epoxy resin across the handle, with brown and white tones swirling through the material in a pattern that shifts from every angle. A single blue mosaic pin secures the handle to the full tang blade, adding a small accent that ties the handle coloring back to the blue patina on the steel. Every element of this knife — the repurposed steel, the organic handle, the oxidized finish — points back to something made with materials that had a life before this blade.
At 6.5 to 7 inches overall, this knife sits in a compact, easy-carry size that fits ranch work without feeling oversized on the belt. The drop point profile handles general cutting tasks with a controlled tip, suited for daily ranch chores as comfortably as for field use.
Pinecone Epoxy Ranch Knife at JW Steel Crafts with a blue patina rasp steel blade, brown and white pinecone resin handle, and a blue mosaic pin.
The History Behind This Blade
Farrier rasp steel comes from horseshoeing files, prized by smiths for its extreme toughness once reforged. Ranch hands have repurposed rasp steel into working knives for generations, valuing the material's edge retention over factory alternatives. Pinecone resin handles became popular in custom knife making for their organic texture and one-of-a-kind grain. JW Steel Crafts forges this blade from reclaimed steel, finishing it with a blue patina that gives each piece its own character.
Blade Performance
Rasp steel holds a sharp, tough edge through heavy daily ranch use. The blue patina finish adds a layer of oxidation that helps the steel resist surface rust between uses. The original file tooth texture along the blade face adds grip when the knife is wet or oily. The drop point profile handles general cutting tasks with a controlled, predictable tip. As high-carbon steel, the blade still benefits from regular oiling beneath the patina to stay in top condition.
Handle Construction
Brown and white epoxy resin encases a real pinecone, creating a handle with natural organic swirling visible throughout the material. A blue mosaic pin locks the handle firmly to the full tang blade. No bolster interrupts the transition from resin to steel, keeping the profile clean and compact. Epoxy resin resists moisture and daily wear better than untreated natural materials. Full tang construction runs the length of the handle, keeping the knife balanced and solid through repeated use.
Best Used For
This knife handles ranch chores and general outdoor tasks that call for a compact, tough blade. Its reclaimed rasp steel suits rope cutting, general fieldwork, and everyday carry around a working property. Collectors are drawn to the blue patina and pinecone resin as much as the steel itself. As a gift, it suits ranchers, farriers, or anyone who values reclaimed materials and handmade craftsmanship.

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!
