Handmade 8 Inch Cowboy Knife – Rasp Steel Hunting Blade, Pinecone Handle

Handmade 8 Inch Cowboy Knife with Pinecone Handle

Built around the character of forged farrier rasp steel, this handmade 8 inch cowboy knife combines a compact fixed-blade hunting profile with a distinctive pinecone resin handle and cowhide pancake sheath. Its 8-inch overall length and 4-inch blade make it a practical size for collectors and outdoor users looking for a handmade Western-style knife.

The blade retains the visible character of rasp steel forging, while the pinecone resin handle and stainless steel bolster give the knife a distinctive handcrafted appearance. The design fits naturally within a collection of cowboy knives and Western-inspired fixed blades.

Forged Rasp Steel Blade

This handmade knife uses forged farrier rasp steel with a stated hardness of 59–60 HRC and a 4mm blade thickness. The material and forging process give the blade its textured, individual character. Because the blade is made from repurposed rasp steel, natural variations in the forged pattern can occur from piece to piece.

The 4-inch blade keeps the profile compact and controlled for appropriate outdoor and field tasks. If you are comparing handmade Western designs, you can also browse our hunting knives for other field-oriented styles.

Pinecone Resin Handle & Leather Pancake Sheath

The handle combines pinecone resin with a stainless steel bolster, creating a natural-looking pattern that makes each piece visually distinctive. It is paired with a cowhide leather pancake sheath designed for belt carry.

For shoppers interested in Western belt knives, the pancake sheath adds to the traditional ranch and cowboy character of the design. Explore our handmade cowboy knife selection to compare similar styles, or visit our Damascus knife collection for a different blade style.
