Ben is here to show you a trio of our tools that have been ordered for collection at The Wilderness Gathering this weekend, all made with AEB-L stainless steel and Green Canvas Micarta handles.

- The Trailblazer - The Trailblazer blends the heritage of the legendary Bowie knife with a modern bushcraft and survival blade. A broad 7” blade offers both power and precision. Designed for heavy duty tasks like chopping, splitting, batoning and shelter construction, the sabre grind and a thinner bevel are equally capable at food and game prep.

- Pocket Woodlander - This Pocket Woodlander has a new variation on the sheath, with a Thai mummert style titanium pocket clip. The Pocket Woodlander retains the construction strength and reliability of the original in a compact form. Scaled down by 25%, the 3” blade is more agile for precision tasks with the contoured handle excelling at detailed work. A lightweight, portable option ideal as a primary tool or as a nimble secondary blade in your bushcraft kit.

- Thorn XL - The Thorn XL is a compact utility and survival blade. A super lightweight skeletonised design, the Thorn XL has an extra 1” blade length on the original Thorn, as well as a full size 4” handle for greater reach and control. Coming with a Scandi grind and AEB-L stainless steel as standard, the Thorn XL makes a perfect companion blade to a larger bushcraft knife.
