Classic Whittler's | Bushmaster – traditional pocket knife for woodworking

This pocket knife from Bushmaster is a classic whittler, specially designed for woodworking and outdoor use. With its Wharncliffe blade shape and traditional nail nick opening, this is a reliable EDC knife. The compact size of 10.79 cm folded makes it perfect for your pocket.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, we thoroughly tested this whittler while making tent pegs. The nail nick opening requires two hands, but the knife sits securely in the hand afterwards. In cold conditions, we noticed that opening became a bit more difficult.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The blade made of 420 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance and is easy to maintain. The Wharncliffe shape with straight cutting edge is ideal for controlled cuts in wood and precision work. The plain-edge blade with coated finish provides extra protection against rust and reduces friction during cutting.

Grip and ease of use

The carbon handle in classic black offers a firm grip, even during prolonged use. The nail nick opening is traditional but requires two hands – so no quick one-handed action. However, the compact size makes it highly portable for everyday use.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for hobbyists who enjoy wood carving, bushcrafters who value tradition, and collectors of classic knives. Less suitable for those who want to open their knife quickly with one hand. The compact size makes it ideal as a second knife alongside a larger outdoor knife.

Maintenance and durability

The 420 stainless steel is very low-maintenance – occasional wiping is usually sufficient. The coated finish of the blade offers extra protection against corrosion. For optimal performance, we recommend regular sharpening with a fine sharpening stone and oiling the hinge.
