TBS Grizzly Bushtool Knife with Black Pouch & Firesteel Kit BT17009

In pursuit of excellence, the creator embarked on a journey with a single mantra: no compromises. Their vision? To forge a collection of knives that consistently surpass expectations, regardless of the rugged Australian terrain. These are the remarkable TBS Bushcraft Tools, meticulously crafted for those who relish the great outdoors. Adhering to the time-honoured traditions of Australian bushcraft, these knives boast the quintessential Scandi-ground Carbon Steel blades paired with robust Wooden handles. Take, for instance, the TBS Grizzly, a testament to both formidable utility and artistic craftsmanship.

While heritage products may demand meticulous upkeep, the Bushtools break free from convention. They cater to the wilderness aficionados who yearn for a lifetime companion, a tool that consistently goes above and beyond, allowing them to savor every moment without fretting over rust, dampness, or leather care. For these individuals, it's a way of life: Eat, Conquer, Rest, Repeat...

The TBS Grizzly Bushtool is meticulously crafted from top-tier 5mm thick N690co Cobalt-enriched stainless steel, ensuring a wickedly sharp, long-lasting edge. For added protection and a touch of style, a traction coat is meticulously applied, transforming the blade into an epitome of ruggedness. The Bushtool features a High Scandi Grind with a secondary bevel, optimised for not just heavy-duty tasks like battening but also for precise slicing and delicate woodworking. Measuring at 125mm, it also sports a spine cutout, perfect for igniting a Firesteel, designed specifically for TBS Fatboy version (included), but compatible with any firesteel.

When it comes to the handle, the options are crystal clear: Micarta or G10. In this instance, G10 emerges as the choice of champions, prized for its superior water resistance and exceptional durability. With the Bushtools, compromise is simply not an option. A thong tube is thoughtfully incorporated for attaching a paracord wrist loop, a prudent addition for those wielding it for chopping tasks, preventing any accidental launches from the hand. Vibrant orange liners, though not necessarily functional, lend a striking contrast and heightened visibility to this all-black masterpiece.

The sheath, a sturdy and low-maintenance solution for your tool, is painstakingly molded to accommodate each knife, ensuring a snug fit. It offers both horizontal belt carry and 2 vertical straps, perfectly suited for the favoured scout carry style. You'll also discover a dedicated firesteel loop, ready to house our 12.5mm Fatboy firesteel, guaranteeing you always possess a reliable fire-starting solution. For added convenience, consider the optional front compass/survival pouch, which includes a 1oz-sized tobacco tin, ideal for tinder, fishing gear, fire-starting essentials, or your own compact survival kit.

This TBS Grizzly knife kit is fitted with the Helikon-Tex Compass/Survival Pouch in Black attached to the Kydex Knife Sheath by MOLLE/PALS system. This pouch is part of Helikon's bushcraft line. It completes the look fitted for a bushcraft enthusiast like yourself. This pouch is available fpr purchase separately if you were looking for a replacement.
