Once a rasp has done its job on the ranch, it gets a second life. Our smiths hand-forge it into a full tang blade, keeping the character and history of the original tool alive in every knife. This style has become popular with collectors precisely because of that backstory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJWSteelCrafts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet Includes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Knives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 Inches (Each Knife)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaindrop Damascus Steel, Forged from Horse Rasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulticolor Resin with Embedded Pinecone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTang Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Tang Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather Sheath Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFarrier \/ Cowboy Rasp Knife Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes Raindrop Damascus Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all Damascus patterns look the same. The Raindrop Damascus pattern gets its name from the small, circular droplet shapes that form during the forging process. This happens naturally as the layered steel is folded and shaped, which means the pattern can't be exactly copied from blade to blade. Because the rasp's original texture also plays a role in how the pattern forms, every knife we make ends up looking genuinely different from the last one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMulticolor Pinecone Resin Handle: Comfort and Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the blade tells a story of ranch work, the handle tells a different one. Each handle is cast from multicolor resin with a real pinecone embedded inside. The resin flows around the pinecone during casting, creating natural color patterns that vary with every pour, making each handle just as unique as its blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRaindrop Damascus: More Than Just a Pretty Pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery knife in this set uses full tang construction, meaning the steel runs from the tip of the blade through the entire handle as one solid piece. A full tang rasp knife holds up better under pressure, stays balanced in the hand, and won't loosen at the handle the way partial tang knives sometimes do over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Tang Construction, and Ready for Ranch Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor outdoor users who actually put their tools to work, this construction matters.
