When you're cooking outside, you don't need an entire kitchen drawer of fancy tools. What you do need? A few solid knives that can handle the wild—from slicing thick cuts of meat to dicing onions on a tree stump.
These are the blades we reach for over and over again. They’re sharp, dependable, and feel just as good in your hand as they do next to a fire.
(And no, we haven’t tested them on a bear. Let’s keep it that way.)
🔪 Moss Green Cleaver
There’s something about this one that just belongs in the woods. From the deep green resin and burl wood handle to the feel of the full tang in your hand—it’s got that perfect mix of style and strength.
We love it for heavy-duty chopping, breaking down meat, and any time we want a knife that looks as bold as it performs. It’s become our go-to for most outdoor meals.

🔪 Damascus Cleaver
This one’s for those who appreciate the details. The Damascus steel isn’t just for looks (although... it is gorgeous). It’s made with 67 layers wrapped around a razor-sharp AUS-10 core, so it holds an edge beautifully.
We pull this out when we’re slicing meats, prepping herbs, or just want to show off a bit. It's smooth, precise, and definitely a conversation starter.

🔪 Special Edition Cleaver
This is the knife that started it all for us. Designed for fire-side cooking, it’s simple, solid, and versatile—our trusty everyday blade. The German stainless steel holds up through just about anything, and the acacia wood handle just feels right.
If you're just starting to build your outdoor cooking kit, this one’s a great place to begin.
