Bushcraft Without Compromise – Meet the Skol Bushcraft 120 A bushcraft knife should inspire confidence the moment you pick it up. It isn't about unnecessary features or gimmicks—it's about dependable performance when you're carving, preparing tinder, making feather sticks, processing camp food or tackling everyday woodland tasks. The Skol Bushcraft 120 has been built with exactly that philosophy in mind. At its heart is a 120 mm blade crafted from Swedish 12C27 stainless steel. Chosen for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, it's a steel that performs brilliantly in the British outdoors and won't let you down in damp conditions. The traditional Scandi grind bites cleanly into wood, making controlled carving and precise bushcraft work effortless. The handle is fashioned from beautiful desert ironwood, one of the world's hardest and most durable timbers. Every piece has its own unique grain, meaning no two knives are ever quit...

Two Sisu 75s – Same Design, Different Souls The Sisu 75 has quickly become one of my favourite knife patterns. Compact, practical, and built for real use in the outdoors, it's a knife that proves you don't need a large blade to tackle everyday bushcraft tasks. These two Sisu 75s share the same foundations. Both feature a 75mm blade crafted from premium AEB-L stainless steel, ground from 3mm stock for a balance of strength, cutting performance, and edge stability. AEB-L is well known for taking a razor-sharp edge while offering excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a working bushcraft knife. Where these two knives differ is in their handles. The first features a stunning handle made from a foraged piece of English yew, secured with mosaic pins. Yew has a long history in Britain and is prized for its beautiful grain, rich golden tones, and natural character. Every piece is unique, giving the knife a warmth and personality that only natural wood can provide...

Skol Sisu 75 – Ancient Oak Meets Modern Steel Some knives are designed to impress in a display cabinet. The Skol Sisu 75 was built for the woods. At its heart is a 75mm blade crafted from AEB-L stainless steel, a steel highly regarded for its toughness, corrosion resistance and ability to take an exceptionally keen edge. At 3mm thick, it strikes the perfect balance between strength and cutting performance, making it ideal for carving, food preparation and general bushcraft tasks. What truly sets this knife apart is the handle. Made from ancient bog oak, preserved beneath the earth for centuries, each piece carries its own unique character and history. The deep black tones contrast beautifully with the satin-finished blade, while brass mosaic pins and a brass lanyard tube add subtle detail without compromising the knife's clean, functional design. The Sisu 75 is supplied with a handcrafted leather sheath, ready for life around the campfire, on woodland walks or tucked into a pack fo...

Twins, But Not Identical – Two New Skol Hunters There's something special about building two knives side by side. Starting with the same blade and the same vision, they often end up developing personalities of their own. These latest additions to the Skol Knives workshop are a perfect example. Both feature an 80mm blade crafted from 12C27 stainless steel and finished with a traditional Scandi grind, offering excellent sharpness, easy maintenance, and dependable performance in the field. While they share the same foundation, their handles tell very different stories. The first combines natural antler with oak spacers, creating a clean and elegant knife that feels equally at home in the woods or displayed on a shelf. Its flowing lines and natural materials give it a refined, timeless appearance. Its twin takes a more rugged path. Stacked birch bark paired with crown antler creates a knife deeply influenced by traditional Scandinavian hunting knives. The textured handle offers excelle...

The handle is made from stunning African Leadwood, one of the hardest and most durable timbers available. Its rich dark tones and natural grain make every knife unique while providing a comfortable and secure grip in use. Brass pins and a lanyard tube complete the build, adding both strength and traditional styling. Each Pathfinder 125 is supplied with a handcrafted leather sheath, designed to protect the knife and carry comfortably on the belt during bushcraft, camping, hunting and general outdoor adventur...
