The TBS Pocomaxa Bushcraft Knife
TBS have teamed up with BPS to make an entry level Bushcraft Knife which represents fantastic value for money and ticks all the boxes for a classic, traditional Bushcraft Knife. We really like BPS gear and we are very pleased to be supporting a traditional Ukrainian company so it was a natural move to have them make one of our designs and I hope you like it. It represents a great first step into a dedicated and more traditional piece of Bushcraft cutlery that isn't a Mora.
The Carbon blade is made of 1066 carbon steel, hardened to 57-59 HRC with a Scandi grind and, being Carbon steel, it is the more traditional steel for a Bushcraft Knife but does require a little more maintenance. After use you will need to clean and oil the blade to help avoid corrosion.
The Pocomaxa Bushcraft Knife is handled with Walnut which is treated with Danish Oil. Walnut is a fantastic wood to use as it is so durable and simply needs re-oiling occasionally to keep it in tip top condition. It comes with a very useful firesteel sheath to carry a great firelighting tool.
