Knives & Multi-Tools

A versatile tool out in the wild

The knife is the hiker's and camper's essential tool: cutting rope, preparing a meal, carving wood for the fire, opening packaging, fixing kit. A good survival knife, sturdy and well designed, gets you out of a thousand situations. It's a reliable companion, from a simple picnic to self-sufficient bushcraft.

Blade: steel, shape and quality

The blade makes the knife: quality steel holds its edge and resists corrosion. The shape (straight for fine cutting, thick-backed for batoning wood) suits different uses. A full tang blade on fixed knives guarantees the strength needed for demanding bushcraft tasks. Stainless steel holds up well against moisture and needs little upkeep, a real advantage out on the trail. The hardness of the steel balances edge retention with ease of sharpening.

Fixed blade or folding knife?

A fixed blade knife is sturdier, ideal for bushcraft and heavy-duty tasks; a folding knife is more compact and safer to carry, perfect for everyday use while hiking. The handle, ergonomic and non-slip, gives you a secure grip even when wet. A solid sheath keeps a fixed blade knife secure during transport. Light and compact, a small folding knife fits neatly in a rucksack pocket: handy and always within reach for everyday camp tasks, provided you follow proper safety practices.

Gearing up properly

The knife pairs well with the survival whistle, the first aid kit and your camping gear. To head out fully prepared, complete your kit with our hiking and trekking accessories and gear.
