TBS Boar Bushtool Knife with Black Pouch & Firesteel Kit BT17003

In pursuit of perfection, the goal was clear—no compromises. The creator, TBS Knives, set out to forge a line of knives that would consistently outshine the competition, regardless of the rugged Australian conditions. These blades would demand minimal upkeep and endure when others falter - the remarkable TBS Bushcraft Tools, tailor-made for the discerning outdoors enthusiast.

Adhering to the cherished traditions of the Australian bushcraft community, these knives boast the quintessential Scandi-ground Carbon Steel blades and sturdy Wooden handles. Take, for instance, the TBS Boar, a shining example of both a formidable tool and a true work of art. While heritage products may require diligent care, the Bushtools break the mold. They cater to those who crave a lifelong companion capable of performing tirelessly, day in and day out, without succumbing to rust, dampness, or leather woes. For these individuals, it's all about the mantra: Eat, Conquer, Rest, Repeat...

The TBS Boar Bushtool is crafted from top-tier 5mm thick N690co Cobalt-enriched stainless steel, ensuring a wickedly sharp, long-lasting edge. For added protection (and a dash of style), a traction coat is applied to create an incredibly rugged blade. The Bushtool features a High Scandi Grind with a secondary bevel, optimized not only for heavy-duty tasks like battening but also for precise slicing and fine woodworking. Its 5" (125mm) length includes a spine cutout, perfect for striking a Firesteel, especially designed for our Fatboy version (included), but compatible with any firesteel.

When it comes to the handle, there are only 2 choices: Micarta or G10. The choice, in this case, is G10, prized for its superior water resistance and remarkable durability. With the Bushtools, there are no compromises. A thong tube is included for attaching a paracord wrist loop, a crucial safeguard for those planning to tackle chopping tasks. After all, no one wants their tool to go flying if their grip slips! Vibrant orange liners, while not necessarily functional, provide striking contrast and enhanced visibility to this all-black beauty.

The sheath, a robust and low-maintenance solution for your tool, is custom-molded to accommodate each knife. It offers both horizontal belt carry and two vertical straps, ideal for the popular scout carry style. You'll also find a dedicated firesteel loop, ready to host TBS 12.5mm Fatboy firesteel, ensuring you always have a reliable fire-starting solution at your side. For added convenience, this kit comes with a front pouch, capable of housing a 1oz-sized tobacco tin, perfect for tinder, fishing gear, fire-starting essentials, or a compact survival kit. In conclusion, there's every reason to believe that these exceptional tools will capture the hearts of Australian bushcraft and camping enthusiasts. They excel at all the tasks you'll encounter in the bush, making them the ultimate companions for your outdoor adventures.
