About This Piece

Some knives are designed for a single task.

This one was built for wherever the trail leads.

Handcrafted by Jeff Loehr, this rugged survival knife combines the chopping power of a camp knife with the control of a precision field blade. From processing firewood and preparing camp meals to carving shelter stakes and dressing game, every contour was shaped with real outdoor use in mind.

Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the 7.5-inch blade offers the toughness and edge retention that outdoorsmen have relied on for generations. The broad 2.5-inch profile provides exceptional strength and cutting power, giving the knife the authority of a small camp axe while retaining the versatility of a fixed blade.

A generous finger choil allows the user to move the hand forward for detailed carving and controlled cutting, while aggressive thumb jimping along the spine provides a secure purchase during demanding work. Deeply sculpted finger grooves naturally lock the hand into position, creating confidence whether making feather sticks, clearing brush, or tackling heavier camp chores.

Natural Micarta handle scales offer outstanding grip in wet or dry conditions and are secured with classic Loveless fasteners. Designed for years of hard use, Micarta develops character with time while maintaining exceptional durability in the field.

The knife is paired with a custom-molded black Kydex sheath, providing secure retention, weather resistance, and dependable carry whether worn on a belt or attached to outdoor gear.

Built for those who venture beyond the trailhead, this is a knife designed to earn its place at your side through years of dependable service.

Maker's Note

"I wanted this knife to feel at home in the woods. It needed enough weight to handle camp chores, enough control for detailed work, and enough toughness that you wouldn't hesitate to rely on it. The design ended up somewhere between a camp knife and a small hatchet—and honestly, that's exactly where I wanted it to be."

— Jeff Loehr, Bladesmith
