PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Prairie Hunter Skinner Knife is inspired by the rugged traditions of the American frontier, where dependable tools were essential for every rancher, hunter, cowboy, and outdoorsman. Designed to perform in demanding conditions while showcasing timeless Western craftsmanship, this handcrafted knife combines premium materials, practical functionality, and heirloom-quality construction.
Built around a 4-inch D2 tool steel blade, this handcrafted skinner is made for those who appreciate a knife that works as hard as they do. Whether you're processing game after a successful hunt, tackling everyday ranch chores, setting up camp, or adding a handcrafted piece to your knife collection, the Prairie Hunter Skinner delivers reliable performance and unmistakable style.
At the heart of this knife is its premium D2 tool steel blade, known throughout the knife-making world for its excellent wear resistance, superior edge retention, and impressive toughness. Unlike ordinary stainless steels, D2 is engineered to maintain a razor-sharp edge through repeated use, making it a trusted choice among professional hunters, outdoorsmen, and craftsmen.
The blade features a rugged acid wash finish, giving it a distinctive weathered appearance while reducing glare in bright outdoor conditions. This finish also helps disguise the light scratches that naturally develop with regular field use, allowing your knife to retain its attractive appearance for years to come.
The carefully shaped drop-point skinner profile provides outstanding control during precision cutting tasks. Its curved cutting edge is ideal for skinning game, slicing rope, preparing firewood, trimming leather, opening packages, and handling countless everyday outdoor jobs.
One of the Prairie Hunter's most striking features is its handcrafted handle. Made from beautifully finished hardwood combined with a genuine natural stag crown, the handle offers a unique appearance that reflects traditional Western craftsmanship. Every piece of stag displays its own natural color variations and texture, making each knife truly one of a kind.
A polished solid brass bolster sits between the blade and handle, adding strength, balance, and classic elegance. Brass pins securely fasten the handle scales while complementing the warm tones of the wood and natural antler.
The handle is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip during extended use. Whether your hands are dry, gloved, or working outdoors, the combination of wood and stag offers dependable control while preserving the knife's traditional appearance.
Measuring 8 inches overall, the Prairie Hunter Skinner strikes the perfect balance between portability and working performance. Compact enough for everyday belt carry yet large enough to handle serious cutting tasks, it quickly becomes the knife you'll reach for time and time again.
Included with every knife is a handcrafted pancake leather sheath, made from premium full-grain leather. Designed for comfortable belt carry, the pancake-style sheath holds the knife securely while keeping it close to the body for easy access. Heavy-duty stitching and quality hardware ensure years of dependable service whether you're on horseback, in the woods, or around the ranch.
This knife isn't just a cutting tool—it's a reflection of traditional craftsmanship. Every detail, from the acid-washed blade to the hand-finished wood, natural stag, and brass fittings, demonstrates careful attention to quality.

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!
