2-Piece Fixed Blade Knives — Rasp Steel Cleaver Rainbow Resin Handle

This set includes two fixed blade knives, each with a 4-inch blade. Knife one carries a rasp steel cleaver blade — cross-hatched file texture across the full flat with a rectangular profile and cutout window on the blade face — paired with a multicolor rainbow resin handle in layered teal, pink, yellow, red, blue, white, and black. Knife two carries a Damascus steel sheepsfoot blade in a bold black and white swirl pattern paired with a black and white marble resin handle. Both knives have silver pins and a lanyard hole at the handle base. No sheath included.

This is the only set of 2 fixed blade knives at JW Steel Crafts combining a rasp steel cleaver rainbow resin handle with a Damascus sheepsfoot marble resin handle in one paired collector configuration.

The History Behind These Blades

Rasp steel blades were historically repurposed from worn farrier and woodworking rasps — craftsmen discovered the cross-hatched file texture produced a naturally aggressive surface that held its pattern through hard daily use. Sheepsfoot blades with a flat spine and curved belly were standard carry for sailors, ranch workers, and livestock handlers who needed a safe, controlled cutting edge without an exposed tip.

Damascus steel brought layered pattern-welded strength into fixed blade formats, with each blade carrying a unique swirl pattern pressed through the full flat. The JW Steel Crafts rasp and Damascus fixed blade pair carries both working traditions in one set.

Blade Performance

Knife one is built from rasp steel — carrying a cross-hatched file texture across the full flat that gives the blade a naturally aggressive surface and a distinct visual identity no two blades replicate exactly. The rectangular cleaver profile with cutout window reduces blade weight while maintaining full cutting width across the edge. Knife two is forged from Damascus steel in a bold black and white swirl pattern. The sheepsfoot profile runs a flat spine with a curved belly edge — designed for controlled slicing tasks where tip safety matters. Both blades hold a sharp working edge through daily carry and utility cutting.

Handle Construction

Knife one carries a multicolor rainbow resin handle — layered teal, pink, yellow, red, blue, white, and black resin compressed into a single scale with a distinct stripe pattern across the full face. Knife two carries a black and white marble swirl resin handle — flowing marble pattern across the full face, no two handles identical. Both resin handles resist moisture, do not swell or crack, and hold their surface finish through outdoor and field use. Silver pins lock the scales on each knife firmly to the full tang. A lanyard hole at the base of each handle allows cord or keyring attachment for field carry.
