Woodsmonkey’s first fixed blade is a professional-level whittler with a full-size handle designed for precision as you cut and AEB-L steel for woodcarving performance that few stainless steels can match. Rounding out the package is a handmade JRE leather sheath that can be used for belt or neck carry.
Recently updated, the Grizzly Creek is better than ever! Even though this AXIS-lock folder is designed for hunters with its integrated gut hook, it’s sure to be appreciated by anyone in need of a powerful drop point blade, hand-filling handle, and classic good looks.
Smartly designed and available in two sizes, Gerber’s new Bushcraft choppers are ready to work. They hit hard and the integrated overstrike guard doubles as an extra grip so you can use the head for carving and cutting tasks that don’t require swinging. As an extra bonus, a waterproof Gear Storage Stick stashes away in the handle which features several feet of paracord and a compartment for firestarting gear and tinder.
The Avispa was designed by Mike Perrin and Jeff Randall of ESEE Knives, and you may notice that they bear a strong resemblance to Jeff Randall’s most famous design - the Ontario RAT. They’re equally ergonomic and efficient, but feature a sturdy frame lock in contrast to the RAT’s liner lock.
Victorinox is charting new ground with their new Venture fixed blades and it has everything you want in an affordable bushcraft or survival knife. Outfitted with Sandvik’s tough 14C28N steel, crisp enough on the spine to throw sparks, and sharpened by hand to a razor edge, the drop point blade does everything you need.
This is not the ferro rod you are used to. This rod is made from Misch Metal which produces small gobs of molten particles that burn hotter and longer, igniting even stubborn tinder in no time. The handle offers a substantial grip and doubles as a watertight capsule that is perfect for storing more tinder or other small “survival kit” goodies.
There may be no better survival tool on the planet than a good machete. The Magnum Kukri from Cold Steel will always be a great choice thanks to its weight forward design that adds power to your swings. That said, it is still light enough to carry easily and it allows you to build up a lot of momentum as you chop through any obstacle in front of you.
The AGK has just been graced with some key upgrades: premium stainless S35VN steel and contoured handles for an even better grip than the original. If you prefer the carbon steel blades and slimmer handles though, that version is still for sale too. Either way, you’ll get a tough knife capable of skinning and any other role fit for a conveniently sized fixed blade.
