BUSHMATE – The Perfect Bushcraft Knife

BUSHMATE is the result of a unique collaboration between BPS Knives and DBK (Dutch Bushcraft Knives) – the most trusted bushcraft knife reviewers from the Netherlands.
This knife is built to be your top bushcraft companion – combining DBK’s expertise and BPS Knives’ craftsmanship to create a tool that performs exceptionally well in real outdoor scenarios. Built to handle the toughest tasks, this knife is perfect for batoning firewood, carving traps, food prep, and general camp chores. Whether you’re deep in the forest, surviving a tough challenge, or just enjoying a quiet weekend by the fire, BUSHMATE is the tool you can trust to perform every time.

1066 High-Carbon Steel Blade

At the core of the BUSHMATE is a blade forged from 1066 high-carbon steel, heat-treated to HRC 57–59 for the ideal balance of toughness and edge retention. Carbon steel is beloved by bushcrafters for its ability to take an extremely sharp edge and to be re-sharpened quickly in the field. Blade length – 102 mm (4 in), blade thickness -2.8 mm (0.1 in). Total length – 220 mm (8.7 in) – a perfect compact form for an everyday bushcraft companion. Weight – 140 g (4.9 oz) – light enough to carry all day without fatigue, yet sturdy in the hand.

Scandi Grind – The Bushcraft Standard

The blade features a Scandi grind, which is widely considered the best grind for bushcraft knives. This grind type excels in woodwork — from feather-sticking to carving notches — thanks to its single wide bevel that bites deep and provides exceptional control.

Benefits of Scandi Grind:

• Makes clean, precise cuts in wood, perfect for carving and camp tasks.
• Strong edge geometry ideal for batoning and heavy-duty work.
• Easy to sharpen in the field with a flat stone — no complex angles to maintain.

This is why many consider the BUSHMATE the best bushcraft knife for batoning and general wood processing.

Walnut Wood Handle

The handle is made from premium walnut wood, chosen for its durability and warm, natural feel. Walnut has been used for centuries in tool handles because it combines strength with a comfortable hand feel, even in cold or wet conditions. Length – 118 mm (4.6 in) – provides leverage for chopping and precision for fine carving. Construction Full tang – the steel extends through the entire handle for maximum strength and reliability.

Leather Knife Sheath with Ferro Rod

Every BUSHMATE comes with a sturdy leather sheath, handcrafted for durability and practical carry. The sheath keeps your knife safe when not in use, protects the blade edge, and ensures that it is always ready when you need it. But that’s not all — the kit includes a ferrocerium rod, allowing you to strike sparks directly off the carbon steel blade spine. This means you can start a fire in virtually any weather — a crucial survival feature that can save your life in an emergency.
