The Spyderco Bushcraft knife pattern was created with outdoor use in mind. Spyderco fixed blades, just like the folders using high tech materials, attention to ergonomic comfort and cutting safety as a primary focus.
Bushcraft as an outdoor sport has an interesting history. It follows a regime or survival skills derived originally from southern hemisphere Bushmen. Today it's mainstreamed by UK resident Ray Mears through his televised programs outlining how to thrive and survive skillfully and comfortably in nature with nothing but a knife. Spyderco's version of a Bushcraft knife is a result of three-fold collaboration between Tactical Bushcraft Chris Claycombe, a Bushcraft website called BushcraftUK.com and Spyderco designers.
Bushcraft knives have specific parameters such as having blades between 4-6 inches. Spyderco's is typical of the genre with a 4-inch blade (no handguard) that's fully-tanged. It has a Scandinavian grind, or Scandi grind. Scandi edges have a single bevel grind, wide and flat,cutting with strength and able to withstand twisting and hacking. The blade is O-1 tool steel. Bushcrafters don't seek the characteristics of stainless over the performance of high carbon edge retention and this is why traditional Bushcraft knives are produced using tool steel. O-1's high carbon content offers long-term cutting retention but sharpens easily when laying on a new edge.
True Bushcraft knives have organic-material handles. Our handle is spalted maple burl that's contoured for continuous comfort and comes with a backup lanyard hole. Spyderco chose end grain spalted maple burl for its beauty. Although it has been stabilized, this particular combination in wood makes it extremely vulnerable. Intense dryness and extreme weather or environmental changes can cause stress to the wood. Because of this, we have pre-treated the wood with boiled linseed oil and recommend oiling the handle regularly with boiled (NOT raw) linseed oil to prevent cracking. The knife carries on a belt or strap encased in a leather sheath. Blueprinted for wilderness chores, it slices, chops, whittles and processes game in tradition Bushcraft style.
Blade length: 4 in
Overall Length: 8 5/8 in.
Weight: 6.4 oz.
Leather Sheath
