Skol Bushcraft Knife with Curly Birch Handle

A Handmade Bushcraft Knife Built for the Wild – 80CRV2 Steel & Curly Birch by Skol Knives

When it comes to reliable tools in the outdoors, nothing compares to a well-made handmade bushcraft knife. At Skol Knives, every blade is crafted from scratch with the goal of delivering durability, precision and beauty in equal measure. Our latest creation—a stunning bushcraft knife made from 80CRV2 steel with a curly birch handle and a hand-stitched leather sheath—captures exactly what a true working knife should be.

Why 80CRV2 Steel is a Bushcraft Favourite

The heart of this knife is the 80CRV2 blade, a high-performance carbon steel renowned for its toughness and resilience. Bushcrafters, hunters, and outdoorsmen appreciate 80CRV2 for several reasons:

  • Exceptional edge retention
  • Brilliant toughness for heavy outdoor use
  • Easy to sharpen in the field
  • Reliable performance in demanding conditions

This steel is designed to take abuse without compromising sharpness, making it a perfect choice for carving, feather sticks, food prep, camp chores and general outdoor use.

The Beauty of Curly Birch

The standout feature of this knife is the curly birch handle, shaped and finished entirely by hand. Curly birch is prized for its warm colour, natural figuring, and unique grain patterns—no two pieces are ever the same.

This handle not only looks beautiful, it’s also incredibly comfortable. Its ergonomic shape gives you excellent control, whether you’re performing fine carving or heavier tasks. For bushcraft enthusiasts who appreciate natural materials, curly birch is a classic favourite.

Handmade Leather Sheath Included

A knife of this quality deserves a sheath to match, so each one comes with a hand-stitched leather sheath designed for everyday carry and long-term durability. The sheath protects the blade, rides securely on your belt, and completes the traditional bushcraft aesthetic.

A True Handmade Knife – Built From Scratch

Every Skol knife is made by hand—from profiling the blade to shaping the handle and stitching the leather sheath. No shortcuts, no mass production. This knife reflects hours of craftsmanship and attention to detail, resulting in a tool that’s as reliable as it is beautiful.

Perfect for Bushcraft, Camping & Collectors

Whether you’re deep in the woods or adding to your knife collection, this handmade bushcraft knife is built with purpose. Its combination of 80CRV2 steel, natural curly birch, and handcrafted leather makes it a tool you’ll rely on for years.

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...
