The TOPS BOB Fieldcraft Hunting Knife is designed by The Brothers of Bushcraft. From tracking to building shelters, the Brothers of Bushcraft make it a point to show the skills to all people, of all ages, from all over. The TOPS BOB Fieldcraft Knife is the culmination of their knowledge, combining experiences from; the broad and humid rain forests, the arid and scorpion-littered deserts, and the frigid northern lands that span the Americas.
This bushcraft survival knife features a firesteel and the knife itself is 249mm, with a blade length of 117mm. This makes a compact, but extremely serviceable knife. The Fieldcraft's blade is 5mm thick, and made of 1095 steel. The cutting edge is a modified Scandinavian Grind, which is very effective for carving, skinning and other general woods work. This knife is also easy to sharpen with its rockwell hardness of 56-58.
The handle is one of the most ergonomic ones on the market, sporting several useful additions. Being made of G10, the handle is durable and will never let you down. The bow drill divot on the handle is frictionless and makes starting primitive fires almost effortless. The "Thumb Scallops", formed on the hilt of the handle offer more comfort and control when using specialised carving and skinning grips. The pommel of the blade is simply the tang of the knife exposed enough to allow impact from a baton to not effect the handle (though the G10 is definitely tough enough to take such abuse). On the exposed pommel, you will find a scraper specially designed by one of The Brothers of Bushcraft, for striking Ferro rods in a safe and efficient manner.
The Kydex sheath is a strong and durable with a steel belt clip. This allows a safe, secure and comfortable carry on the belt, pack strap, or even around the neck. With a built in Ferro-rod attachment point, the sheath now doubles as a minimalist survival kit. The Fieldcraft Knife has had heavy duty abuse, and testing done in the wilderness of Canada, where local survival experts Mors Kochanski, Dr. Gino Ferri, and many others have deemed her a "Serviceable Field Knife". From carving netting needles and trap triggers, to chopping through branches, the TOPS Knives /Brothers of Bushcraft Fieldcraft Knife will do just about any chore that you can throw at her in a bushcraft survival scenario.
