Bushcraft – Dark Stonewashed

Stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood · Natural Abalone Inlay

This Bushcraft knife is built for real use outdoors — the classic all rounder, a camp and work tool, food prep, and general bush tasks where reliability matters. It’s a well-balanced all-rounder that feels confident in the hand and earns its keep in the field.

The blade is crafted from D2 tool steel and finished in a dark stonewash for durability and reduced glare. D2 is known for its excellent edge retention and toughness, making it a solid choice for bushcraft and hard-use environments where the knife is going to see proper work.

Each knife is forged and finished by hand in Australia in small batches, with a focus on control, balance, and long-term performance.

The handle is made from stabilised Tasmanian Blackwood, finished with a natural abalone inlay for a subtle contrast and touch of detail. The timber is stabilised for durability, then hand shaped, hand sanded, and finished to feel secure and comfortable during extended use.

Why This Is a Pre-Order

Our bushcraft has become one of our most in-demand knives. On Thursday night drops, some variants sell out within minutes, and we’ve received a lot of messages from you legends frustrated at how hard it’s been to secure one. 

The limited stock and fast sell-outs were never the plan. These knives take serious time to build by hand and we could only make a small batch each week. 

To make it easier and fairer we’ve opened pre-orders on a small number of proven handle combinations, like this one.
