What is a bushcraft knife?
A bushcraft knife is specifically designed to handle a wide range of tasks in the wilderness. It’s built to split wood, carve feather sticks, cut and shave wood, and help you craft useful items from natural materials. It’s a versatile fixed blade knife that you'll use every day outdoors – not just in emergency situations.To be a good bushcraft knife, it should include:
- A strong, razor sharp blade made from durable carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on your preference
- An ergonomic handle that feels good during extended use
- A rugged construction – often full tang – to withstand heavy-duty work
- A spine compatible with a ferro rod or fire starter

What Sets a Bushcraft Knife Apart from Other Knives?
Unlike many other outdoor knives, a bushcraft knife is designed for repeated, heavy-duty tasks. It should be tough enough to take batoning (splitting wood by striking the blade’s spine with a stick), while still sharp enough to whittle tent pegs or carve a fishing spear.The blade thickness is often greater than on other knives, offering better stability. Many bushcraft knives also feature muted colors like black or green to blend into the natural surroundings.
