PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Sheepsfoot Fixed Blade Knife pairs a straight-edged Damascus blade with a handle built from stacked natural wood in a chevron herringbone pattern. Its sheepsfoot profile keeps the spine curved while the cutting edge runs flat and straight, giving the blade a controlled, precise cutting surface without a sharp point. This shape has long been favored for ranch and everyday work where accidental piercing is a concern.
The stacked wood handle alternates light and dark strips in a diagonal pattern, making each knife visually distinct from the next. A steel bolster sits cleanly between the blade and handle, adding transition strength and a polished look. The knife ships with a basket-weave tooled leather sheath complete with belt slots for secure western-style carry.
Sheepsfoot Fixed Blade Knife at JW Steel Crafts with a chevron herringbone stacked wood handle, Damascus blade, and matching basket-weave leather sheath.
The History Behind This Blade
Sheepsfoot blades trace back to working knives built for controlled, safe cuts around livestock. Damascus forging dates back centuries, valued for its strength and layered steel pattern. Stacked wood handles became a hallmark of custom knife making for their distinct visual grain. JW Steel Crafts forges this blade by hand, keeping the sheepsfoot shape true to its working roots.
Blade Performance
Damascus steel holds a clean edge through repeated ranch and outdoor use. The flat, straight cutting surface delivers controlled cuts without an aggressive tip. Full tang construction keeps the blade balanced and steady in hand. The satin-etched finish highlights the steel's natural grain without heavy polish. As high-carbon steel, the blade benefits from regular oiling to prevent rust.
Handle Construction
Alternating strips of light and dark wood stack in a chevron pattern, giving each handle a unique diagonal grain. A steel bolster sits between the blade and handle, adding strength and a clean visual break. Full tang construction runs the length of the handle for added stability. This stacked build holds up well under frequent daily handling and use. The natural wood develops character over time with regular use.
Best Used For
This knife handles ranch chores and general outdoor tasks where a controlled edge matters. It suits light field work, rope cutting, and general everyday carry tasks. Collectors are drawn to the chevron wood handle as much as the Damascus blade. As a gift, it suits ranchers, knife collectors, or anyone who values natural material handle work.

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!
