Skol PureEdge



PureEdge – Our New Kitchen Knife Range Is Now Live on the Skol Knives Website

I’m excited to announce that my brand-new kitchen knife range, PureEdge, is now live on the Skol Knives website. This collection has been a long time in the making, and it represents everything I love about crafting high-quality, hand-finished kitchen knives: clean lines, exceptional steel, and handles made from some of the most beautiful natural materials available.

Precision in Every Cut – 12C27 Stainless Steel Blades

At the heart of the PureEdge collection is 12C27 Swedish stainless steel—a steel known for its superior sharpness, excellent edge retention, and incredible toughness. Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, you’ll notice immediately how cleanly these blades slice through vegetables, meat, fruit, and herbs.

In the world of kitchen knives, 12C27 stainless steel chefs knives and 12C27 paring knives are fast becoming the go-to for anyone wanting a perfect balance between performance and ease of maintenance. With the PureEdge range, you get a razor-sharp, corrosion-resistant blade designed to work hard and stay sharp.

Natural Beauty – Curly Birch Wooden Handles

Every knife in the range features a hand-finished curly birch handle, chosen for its stunning grain, warm colour, and comfortable feel. Curly birch is one of Scandinavia’s most iconic knife handle woods, and for good reason—it looks incredible, it’s tough, and it feels great in the hand.

These handles are shaped and finished individually, giving each handmade kitchen knife its own unique character. No two PureEdge knives are ever the same.

Chefs knife – your everyday workhorse for slicing, chopping, and dicing

Paring knife – perfect for fine work, peeling, and precision cuts

Vegetable knife – ideal for veg prep, herbs, and fast chopping

Skol Knives Drop Point HunterThe Drop Point Hunter – Hand Forged British CraftsmanshipThe Drop Point Hunter is a knife born from traditional methods, honest materials, and a shared respect for craftsmanship. Designed as a practical, no-nonsense hunting and outdoor knife, it balances rugged performance with refined, understated aesthetics.Forged in Britain, Finished by HandThe blade of this knife was hand forged in the UK by Dr Zech from British 1084 carbon steel, a steel long favoured by bladesmiths for its excellent edge stability, toughness, and ease of maintenance in the field. Forging gives the blade its distinctive character—no two are ever quite the same—and preserves the organic flow of the steel.Once forged, the blade was ground, finished, and sharpened by me at Skol Knives, where careful attention is given to geometry, balance, and cutting performance. The result is a purposeful drop point profile with a strong spine, controllable tip, and a cutting edge suited to skinning, food prep, and general camp tasks.Why a Drop Point?The drop point design is a classic choice for hunters and bushcrafters alike. Its gently sloping spine places the tip lower, giving excellent control and reducing the risk of accidental punctures when working close to hand. This makes it equally capable whether you’re processing game, carving feather sticks, or preparing food at camp.Natural Sumac Wood HandleThe handle is crafted from sumac wood, chosen for its subtle grain, warm tones, and comfortable feel in the hand. Finished to enhance the natural character of the wood, it offers a secure grip while ageing beautifully over time. As with all natural handle materials, each piece of sumac has its own unique pattern, ensuring every knife is truly one of a kind.Built to Be UsedThis is not a shelf-only knife. The Drop Point Hunter is designed to be used, carried, and trusted—a tool that will develop character through years of honest work. The carbon steel blade will naturally patina with use, telling the story of where it’s been and what it’s done.Key SpecificationsBlade steel: British 1084 carbon steelBlade style: Drop pointManufacture: Hand forged in the UK, hand finished by Skol KnivesHandle: Natural sumac woodIntended use: Hunting, bushcraft, and general outdoor tasksIf you’re looking for a traditional British-made hunting knife with real heritage, practical performance, and natural materials, the Drop Point Hunter is exactly that—a modern working knife rooted in timeless craft.

What's the difference between a Bushcraft knife and a Hunting knife

Bushcraft vs Hunting Knives – What’s the Difference? One of the questions I’m asked most often is, “What’s the difference between a bushcraft knife and a hunting knife?” On the surface they might look similar – both are fixed blades, both tough as nails – but the real difference comes down to purpose, shape, and steel. At Skol Knives, every blade I make is designed with function in mind, whether you’re carving feather sticks or field dressing game. A bushcraft knife is your all-round outdoor tool – think carving, batoning, making fire prep, and general camp work. You want a strong, simple edge that’s easy to sharpen in the field and can take a beating without chipping. For that, I often use 1095, 1084, or 80CrV2 steel. These high-carbon steels hold a wicked edge and are perfect for tough bushcraft use. Just a quick oil and they’ll last a lifetime. A hunting knife, on the other hand, is a bit more refined. It’s designed for clean, controlled slicing and skinning, not chopping wood or st...

The Traditional and Original Bushcraft Knife "Nessmuk"

Image
The Nessmuk Knife History, Design, and Why It Still Matters Today In a world of oversized survival blades and aggressive “tactical” designs, the Nessmuk knife stands quietly apart. Slim, practical, and deeply rooted in outdoor tradition, it’s a knife designed not for show — but for use. The Nessmuk pattern comes from the writings of George Washington Sears, better known by his pen name Nessmuk, a 19th-century American woodsman, author, and early advocate of lightweight wilderness travel. Who Was Nessmuk? George Washington Sears (1821–1890) was a small-framed man in poor health who nevertheless spent much of his life travelling, camping, and hunting in the forests of North America. Writing for Forest and Stream magazine and later in his influential book Woodcraft, Sears promoted a radical idea for the time: Travel light. Carry only what you truly need. Know how to use it well. This philosophy shaped everything he carried — especially his knife. The Original Nessmuk Knife Unlike the larg...
