Unique Wilderness Knives
Handmade Wilderness Survival Knives
Hardened in oil with clay protecting the spine. The spine and tang are tempered blue with a torch, the edge is tempered straw in an oven.
Hand forged carbon steel 7 inch blade with high 3/4 blade bevels. 1/4 inch spine. Moose antler crown, split into scales. Peened threaded pins.
A saddle on the spine for more hand power. Use the knife as a draw knife, battoning to split wood. Smash and break with the butt.
The Moose Survival Knife
The tang extends beyond the scales for smashing and breaking.
The 1/4” tang extends beyond the moose antler scales to strike with.
We carried the Moose knife for several years. Camp set ups, dressed moose and deer, peeled rails, split lots of kindling. Tried and tested.
We’ve survived in the bush since 1997.

…The moose
Last winter a year old calf showed up without its mother.
Moose are disappearing from here. Altered habitat from logging. Less cover exposes the animals to more predators, more access gives hunters and wolves more of an advantage. Changing climate patterns, inconsistent snow packs; deep snow is protection, no snow has them vulnerable.
About wolves, moose and Caribou…
Logging roads into the deep back country provide wolves with highways. Snow mobiles veer off the roads adding tributaries for the wolves to penetrate deeper. Wolves are looking for moose. Deep snow into the forest is where the mountain caribou are protected from predators.
We could build you a moose knife $3200.
