RedRockRaptor with leather sheath – Heavy-duty bushcraft knife for demanding outdoor tasks

The RedRockRaptor is a robust bushcraft knife featuring a 26cm recurve blade crafted from 440C stainless steel. Weighing 690g, this knife delivers substantial hacking power for wilderness activities. The satin finish blade and included leather sheath create a complete field-ready package.

Construction and materials

Built from 440C stainless steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, the blade balances edge retention with ease of sharpening. The recurve blade shape measures 26cm in length, while the total knife length reaches 39.37cm. The plain-edge configuration with satin finish ensures smooth cutting through various materials.

Application and use

This bushcraft knife excels at heavy-duty outdoor tasks including wood processing, rope cutting, and game preparation. The forward-weighted balance and recurve design optimise chopping efficiency. Due to its size and 690g weight, it functions best as a dedicated camp tool rather than everyday carry equipment.

Integration and compatibility

The knife comes complete with a leather sheath for secure transport and storage. The sheath accommodates the full blade length and protects both user and edge during transport. No additional mounting hardware or accessories are required for standard field use.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 440C stainless steel construction requires minimal maintenance – simple drying after use prevents corrosion. The 58 HRC hardness rating means the edge holds well between sharpenings. The leather sheath benefits from occasional treatment with leather conditioner to maintain flexibility and weather resistance.
