Posted on: Jul 14, 2022

POST FALLS, ID—When it’s time to head for the great outdoors to camp, there are a wide range of chores that will need attention—including taking along the right tools—to have a great adventure. Among the best tools for cutting campfire wood or rope to hang a tarp are Buck Knives’ Compadre Camp Knife and the Compadre Froe with a 9½-inch blade. The Model 104 Compadre Camp Knife is a full-tang design with a 4 ½-inch drop-point Cerakoted blade and a natural canvas micarta handle. This Made in the USA knife has a black leather sheath so it can be safely stored—and always be ready when camping chores need attention. The Model 108 Compadre Froe also has a Cerakoted blade, natural canvas micarta handle and utilizes a black leather sheath for safe storage and carrying. This longer blade and larger handle designed cutlery can accomplish many of the chores routinely delegated to a hatchet. Both of these knives are widely available at retailers across America and can be purchased on the company website at www.buckknives.com. This knife duo, like all Buck knives, are covered under the company’s popular Forever Warranty. To aid with keeping the cutting edge of the Compadre Camp Knife and the Compadre Froe’s 5160 spring steel blades sharp, Buck also offers EDGETEK® Flipstick® sharpeners plus several pocket, bench and soft Arkansas sharpening stones. The nearly dozen sharpening aids designed for use on all cutlery can be examined—and purchased—on the company’s website. For outdoor adventurers and campers who want an easy-to-carry knife, Buck Knives also offers the Folding Selkirk with a nearly 4-inch blade and the Model 835 Small Folding Selkirk with a 3 ¼-inch blade and pocket clip. These knives have a distinct brown/black CNC shaped micarta handle and eye-catching steel bolster. For anyone wanting a fixed blade camping companion knife, Buck also offers the Selkirk 863 and 853 Small Selkirk knives with similar micarta handles and drop-point blades crafted from 420HC steel. The Model 863 Selkirk knife arrives with a durable injection molded sheath designed to securely hold the knife on a belt plus an included 2¼-inch ferrocerium fire-starter striker with a safety whistle integrated into the grip.
