Bushcraft knives are more than just cutting tools—they’re your all-in-one companion for wilderness living, campsite chores and emergency preparedness. Whether you’re building a shelter, carving tools from wood or processing firewood, the right bushcraft blade makes every task smoother and safer.

Key Features to Consider

  • Full-Tang Strength: Look for a one-piece construction that runs from tip to pommel—this maximises durability for batoning, chopping and prying.

  • Blade Steel & Profile: High-carbon alloys (1095, 5160) and tool steels (D2) strike the ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. A 3.5–5″ drop-point or Scandi-grind blade provides versatile slicing, carving and precision work.

  • Spine Thickness: A thicker spine (3–5 mm) lets you baton safely through thicker wood without risking blade failure.

  • Ergonomic Handles & Sheath: Textured Micarta, G-10 or hardwood handles offer secure grips in wet or cold conditions. A quality leather or Kydex sheath keeps your knife accessible and protected when on the move.

Care, Maintenance & Use
Routine sharpening on a medium-grit stone, quick stropping and a light coat of mineral oil will keep your bushcraft knife performing in damp or humid environments. After each outing, clean off sap and grit to prevent corrosion and handle wear.

Whether you’re a weekend adventurer, survival prepper or seasoned woodsman, a purpose-built bushcraft knife is the cornerstone of any outdoor kit. Explore our full selection and find the perfect blade for your next back-country excursion!
