PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A hammered finish isn't something you can fake with a grinder, it's the actual surface left behind by repeated hammer strikes during forging, meaning every dimple and facet traces back to a real moment in the smithing process. The Ridgeback Hammered Tracker Knife keeps that raw, unpolished texture intact, giving this hammered finish tracker knife a surface story a smooth blade simply can't offer.
Introduction
At 12 inches overall, with a 5-inch blade and 7-inch handle, the Ridgeback Hammered Tracker Knife puts most of its length into the grip rather than the edge, favoring control and leverage. This textured blade tracker knife pairs rosewood with turquoise inlay, secured by silver pins alongside a single decorative mosaic pin that breaks up the pattern.
Ridgeback Hammered Tracker Knife Blade
The drop point tracker profile on this hand-forged hammered steel knife includes a serrated section along the spine, giving you a sawing option alongside the primary cutting edge without needing a second tool. Full tang carbon steel runs the entire 7 inch handle, and this rugged tracker blade design keeps the hammered texture visible across the full blade surface rather than polishing it away.
The serrated spine section on this knife works best for rope, small branches, or bone, reserve the smooth primary edge for standard cutting tasks rather than trying to use the serrations for general slicing. This handmade hammered outdoor knife should be stored in its brown leather belt sheath when not in use, and the carbon steel blade needs thorough drying after any wet-condition use since the hammered texture can hold moisture in its recessed facets longer than a smooth surface would.

FAQs
Q: What causes the hammered texture on the blade?
It comes from repeated hammer strikes during the actual forging process, meaning the texture reflects real smithing work rather than an applied finish.
Q: What is the serrated spine section used for?
It handles sawing tasks like cutting rope, small branches, or bone, working alongside the smooth primary edge rather than replacing it.
Q: Why does the hammered texture need extra drying attention?
The recessed facets from hammering can hold moisture longer than a smooth blade surface, so thorough drying matters more to prevent rust.
Q: What is the decorative mosaic pin among the silver pins?
It's a single distinct pin that breaks up the pattern among the standard silver pins, adding a small detail of visual variation.
Q: Is a 7 inch handle with a 5 inch blade an unusual ratio?
It favors grip and leverage over blade reach, which suits detail-focused tracking and skinning work where control matters most.
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!
