Bushcraft & Camping Knives — Forged for the Field

Bushcraft & Camping Knives

If you're looking for a camping knife that will outlast every trip you take it on, this is the collection.

A bushcraft knife earns its keep with three jobs: carving, splitting, and fire-making. That means a fixed blade in the 3.5-to-5-inch range, a full tang that shrugs off batoning, high-carbon steel that throws sparks off a ferro rod, and a grind — usually Scandi or flat — that bites into wood and sharpens in the field. That's exactly what we forge here.

These aren't folders with outdoor branding; they're hand-forged working knives with hardwood and micarta handles, sheaths built for a belt, and steel chosen for toughness over flash. The Damascus pieces add the pattern; the 1095 pieces add absolute simplicity. Either way, a knife from this collection is meant to be the one tool you'd keep if you could only keep one.

Bushcraft Knife FAQ

What makes a good bushcraft knife?

A fixed blade around 4 inches, full-tang construction, high-carbon steel, and a Scandi or flat grind. That combination carves cleanly, splits kindling safely via batoning, and resharpens on a stone in the field. Stainless folders trade away every one of those strengths.

Can I baton wood with your knives?

The full-tang bushcraft and camp models, yes — batoning wrist-thick wood is within their design. Strike the spine over the wood, never the handle. Skinners and lighter blades aren't built for it; each product page states what the blade is rated for.

Why carbon steel instead of stainless for bushcraft?

High-carbon steel is tougher, easier to sharpen in the field, and throws sparks from a ferro rod — three things that matter more in the woods than stain resistance. A wipe of oil after use is the whole maintenance routine.
