Pre-Order — Stonewashed Bushcraft — Tassie Blackwood & Antler

The knife that started the waitlist.

Our Tassie Blackwood and Antler Bushcraft is one of the most requested builds we make. It sells out in minutes on Thursday drops, so we've opened pre-orders to give more people a shot at one.

The blade is Sleipner tool steel — a step up from standard stainless. Sleipner is tougher, holds a finer edge, and is built for people who actually use their knives hard. The dark stonewash finish reduces glare and hides the kind of wear that comes from real work in the bush.

The handle combines Tasmanian Blackwood, copper TruStone, and fallow deer antler — warm timber, a clean metallic spacer, and raw antler that gives you grip and presence.

Full-size Bushcraft profile — ground for controlled cuts, thick enough for batoning, and balanced to sit naturally through long sessions of carving and camp work.
