These knives in their two respective sizes come with a pair of G-10 OD Green grips that are not only tough, but attractive in a wilderness sort of way. You also have a choil area built into the knife to aid in use with a ferro rod, and these knives come with a leather sheath for protection as well. Both of them deploy S30V stainless steel metal for a strong edge and longevity, too.

March, 2024 – There’s surviving in the wilderness, and then there’s thriving in it. The all-new 163-1 Bushcrafter and 165-1 Mini Bushcrafter are a pair of essential tools for the latter. Purpose-built for all manner of outdoor tasks, from feather sticking to batoning to fire prep and fire making the full-size Bushcrafter and its mini counterpart were designed with updated blade geometry, reduced weight, and stellar handle ergonomics to prevent each knife from rolling in your hand.
Featuring a durable S30V stainless steel fixed blade with sharpened striking choil for throwing sparks from a ferro rod (which slips right into a loop on the included leather sheath), the 163-1 and 165-1 are two classics.
