PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Tracker Kukri Knife earns its name from a blade shape that refuses to pick one job and stick to it. The forward curve pulls weight toward the wide, heavy tip — that's the kukri side of the design, built for clean chopping power in dense brush or heavy material. The tracker geometry underneath that curve gives the blade a wide belly suited for skinning and longer field cuts that a pure kukri profile would handle less cleanly. Together, these two blade traditions produce something more useful than either alone.
Feather Damascus runs across the steel with branching lines moving outward from a central spine, each line shifting slightly as the light changes angle. At 8 inches, the blade sits long enough to handle serious outdoor tasks while staying short enough for controlled, detailed work when the situation calls for it. A polished steel bolster makes a clean break between the blade and a black and yellow micarta handle, with two silver pins locking the construction firmly to the full-tang steel beneath.
The brown tooled leather sheath ships with the knife, fitted with a belt slot for field carry. The whole piece feels balanced toward the tip intentionally, since that weight placement is what makes the forward curve effective for the chopping tasks this blade was built around.
Tracker Kukri Knife at JW Steel Crafts with an 8-inch feather Damascus blade, black and yellow micarta handle, and a wider kukri belly than any other tracker-style piece in the lineup.
The History Behind This Blade
Tracker blades were developed for survivalists who needed one tool for chopping, skinning, and fine detail work. The kukri's forward curve adds chopping weight that a straight tracker blade can't match. Feather Damascus forging takes its name from the branching pattern left after layers fold outward. JW Steel Crafts combines both traditions by hand, forging a blade built for outdoorsmen who don't want to carry two knives.
Blade Performance
Feather Damascus steel holds a sharp edge through heavy field and outdoor use. The pronounced forward curve concentrates force near the wide tip for efficient chopping motions. The wide belly handles skinning strokes and longer cuts without lifting the blade. Full tang construction keeps the knife balanced through forceful, repeated swings. High-carbon steel benefits from regular oiling to stay rust-free after field use.
Handle Construction
Black and yellow micarta layers stack through the handle in visible laminate rings. Two silver pins lock the handle firmly to the full tang blade at both ends. A polished steel bolster sits between the blade and handle, adding transition strength and a clean visual line. Micarta resists moisture and loosening better than natural wood under repeated outdoor use. This build stays solid through the kind of hard use a kukri-style blade typically sees.
Best Used For
This knife is built for outdoorsmen who need one blade to cover chopping, skinning, and field dressing. Bushcraft users will find the forward curve useful for clearing brush and processing wood. Hunters appreciate the wide belly for long skinning strokes on larger game. Collectors are drawn to the feather Damascus pattern since no two blades carry the same branching lines. As a gift, it suits hunters, campers, or collectors who want a hand-forged blade with serious field credentials.

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!
