Embrace the Legacy.

Inspired by the very outdoor knife carried by Ben Fogle during his South Pole expedition retracing the footsteps of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the Woodsman Bushcraft Knife is designed for those who demand reliability in the harshest conditions.

Handcrafted by renowned knife maker and bushcraft expert Roger Harrington, the Woodsman combines traditional craftsmanship with practical field performance. Engineered for serious outdoor use, this premium bushcraft knife excels at carving, wood processing, fire preparation, shelter building, and general wilderness survival tasks.

Whether you're deep in the forest, around camp, or refining your bushcraft skills, the Woodsman delivers exceptional control, durability, and all-round versatility. Its robust construction and timeless design make it an essential tool for bushcraft enthusiasts, campers, hunters, and survivalists alike.

Crafted using natural materials and built to last for generations, the Woodsman is more than just a knife — it’s a dependable companion for every outdoor adventure.

What is Bog Oak?

Bog Oak is one of the rarest and most fascinating natural handle materials used in premium knife making. Rather than being a separate species of tree, Bog Oak is ancient oak that has been preserved for centuries — sometimes even thousands of years — beneath the peat bogs of Great Britain and Ireland.

The low-oxygen environment of the bog slows natural decay, while the acidic peat reacts with the wood’s natural tannins to create Bog Oak’s distinctive deep dark colour and rich character. Often described as being in the early stages of fossilisation, every piece of Bog Oak carries unique grain patterns and historical significance.

Highly sought after for luxury bushcraft knives and heirloom-quality tools, Bog Oak offers exceptional beauty, rarity, and connection to the natural world — making every Woodsman knife truly one of a kind.

Key Features
  • Ideal Blade for Splitting Wood  The 4mm thick steel is perfectly suited for heavy-duty tasks like batoning wood for the campfire, offering you strength and durability when it is needed.
  • Built to Last The strong, full-tang construction ensures the knife provides unwavering reliability in the great outdoors. Even in the event of a handle break, a full-tang knife can still be easily used. The stable Scandi grind is perfect for carving or splitting wood.
  • Ergonomic Handle  The distinct handle design has been given a lot of thought. It allows you to easily identify the knife's orientation by feel alone, ensuring safe and efficient use in the field.
  • Superior Blade Performance Made from rugged Sleipner carbon steel, the blade holds an edge and is easy to sharpen and strop in the field. Casström blades are all cryogenically-quenched using nitrogen gas, which enhances wear-resistance and helps fulfill the true potential of the steel.
  • Scandinavian Curly Birch Handle  Hand-finished curly birch not only offers a stunning aesthetic but also presents a real nordic feel.
  • Stabilised Ancient Bog Oak Handle  Adding a real touch of history to your outdoor gear, the handle is crafted from bog oak that has been preserved for thousands of years. This unique material not only offers a beautiful aesthetic but also connects you to the ancient landscapes of the past.
