The Ranger - Hunter

This handmade hunting knife is the perfect outdoor companion, whether you want to dress a game animal or perform general camp duties. Made from quality high carbon German steel.

Oak is an ancient and well known hard wood prized by our northern hemisphere ancestors for its magical properties and as a pillar of the forest. The timber is light coloured, coarse grained and tough.

All of our knives are based off our knife course designs and have been refined over many iterations to achieve the perfect balance of form and functionality.

Hand made by Bruce Stuart in Clevedon, Auckland.

Care instructions

Please note, your knife is made from carbon steel and as a result will tarnish with use. This discolouration is called a patina and acts as a protective layer. This layer will build up with time and use and is part of what gives your knife its character.

Do not leave your knife wet as this will cause it to rust, always wipe it with a damp cloth and put it away. Never put your knife through a dishwasher, as the extreme heat causes the glue bond to break and the materials to expand at different rates, allowing water to get in between your handle and the blade. This will cause rusting and will ultimately destroy your knife.

Be careful to wipe the blade clean when using it with acidic fruits/vegetables (lemons, tomatoes etc).
