You picked the style. Bruce picks the knife. Every one is forged or finished by hand in his Clevedon workshop, then sharpened and packed before it ships. Same shape, same standards — but no two are the same.
For hunters, campers, and outdoor cooks. Also for the keen gardener, or anyone who just likes to get outside and wants a proper knife on them. The blade is carbon steel, hand-sharpened by Bruce before it ships. The handle is shaped from reclaimed New Zealand timber — every one different, every one warm in the hand. Built to be carried, used, and passed on.
Total length: 180-210 mm
Blade length: 80-100 mm
Weight: 90-100 g
Steel: 1075 carbon steel
Handle: Reclaimed New Zealand timber (varies — typically rimu, kauri, macrocarpa, or matai)
Edge: Hand-sharpened by Bruce before shipping
Comes with: Knife + kraft-paper-wrapped packaging in a box. Sheath if selected at checkout.
Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than stainless and responds well to a sharpening stone, so you can keep it sharp at home. It's been the material of choice for handmade blades for generations.
It also picks up a patina with use. Each cut, each clean, each oil — it all becomes part of the knife. After a few months yours will look slightly different to anyone else's, and slightly different again in a year. That's the knife learning your hand.
Hand wash, dry straight away, oil it now and then. Never the dishwasher. Full carbon steel care guide →
Initials, a short name, or a date. About 10 characters works best. Done the same day — no delay to your turnaround.
Hand-stitched to fit your exact knife, in leather that ages with the blade. Sits well on a belt, on the hip, or in a pack for trips. Allow ~2 extra days.
Moulded plastic, custom-fit to your knife, water-resistant and easy to rinse clean. Built for the pack, the boat, the back of the ute. Allow ~2 extra days.
NZ shipping: $9.50, tracked, from Clevedon. About 2-3 working days once dispatched.
Returns: Not right for your hand? Send it back, we'll find you another. Return shipping at your cost; the swap itself is free.
Warranty: Lifetime support. Anything goes wrong that's our fault, we'll fix it free. Damage from accident or wear, we'll repair it for a small fee.
International: Get in touch — we'll quote.
