12C27 Bushcraft Knife with Oak Handle – Handcrafted by Skol Knives

There’s a certain satisfaction in using a knife that’s been built by hand and made to last. This one’s a perfect example — a compact yet tough bushcraft and hunting knife crafted from 12C27 stainless steel and fitted with a beautiful oak handle.

12C27 is a high-quality Swedish stainless steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and fine grain structure. It sharpens easily and holds a razor edge, making it ideal for outdoor work where reliability really matters. Whether you’re carving, preparing food at camp, or field dressing game, this blade won’t let you down.

The oak handle gives it a warm, traditional feel — smooth in the hand but with just enough texture for grip. Each handle is shaped and finished individually, highlighting the natural grain of the wood and giving every knife its own unique character.

Like all my knives at Skol Knives, this one is built to be used — not just admired. It’s tough, practical, and ready for the outdoors, whether you’re into bushcraft, camping, or hunting.
