PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Rasp Steel Gut Hook Knife brings old file steel back to life. It becomes a working hunting tool built for real skinning chores. Every handmade gut hook knife from JW SteelCrafts starts with reclaimed rasp steel. This steel is prized for its toughness after forging. Many hunters want a blade that holds an edge through several deer. This design answers that need directly.
Stag horn covers the tang with a natural grip. It never feels slick even when hands are wet or cold. A steel bolster adds weight up front for controlled skinning cuts. At six inches overall, this knife fits easily on a belt. It stays substantial enough for field dressing big game.
That is why hunters continue to buy Rasp Steel Gut Hook Knife styles. It works well for everyday field use. As a rasp steel hunting knife USA hunters trust, it earns its place. It rides well in a truck or a pack.
Rasp Steel Gut Hook Knife at JW SteelCrafts. It combines a staghorn handle with a rasp file tooth blade. A steel bolster and red leather crossdraw sheath complete the build.
The History Behind This Rasp Steel Gut Hook Knife
Gut hook skinners trace back to trappers. They needed a blade that could open hide safely. Rasp steel became popular among smiths reusing old files. It gains density after repeated tempering. Stag horn handles date back centuries as a hunter's material. JW SteelCrafts continues that tradition with each blade forged by hand.
Blade Performance
This rasp steel blade holds a working edge through long skinning sessions. It needs only a light touch-up on the stone. The gut hook near the spine opens hide cleanly. It avoids cutting into the meat below. Full tang construction runs the length of the handle. This adds real strength during hard field use. Wipe the blade dry after each use. Add a light coat of oil to stop rust.
Handle Construction
Staghorn is naturally textured for a secure grip. It needs no added grooves or checkering. The steel bolster sits pinned firmly against the horn. This creates a tight fit that resists loosening. Full tang construction means steel runs through the whole handle. This gives better balance and lasting durability. Stag resists moisture better than many synthetic handles. It develops a deeper patina with age and use.
Best Used For
This knife is built for field dressing deer, elk, and other big game. The gut hook speeds up the job every time. Collectors value the natural stag handle since no two match. It also makes a thoughtful gift for any hunter. They will appreciate handmade tools with real history behind them.

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!
