Cherokee Black & Wood – Robust pocket knife for outdoor adventures

The Elk Ridge Cherokee Black & Wood is a reliable pocket knife that excels in versatility. This folding knife combines a 3Cr13 stainless steel blade with an elegant wooden handle, perfect for EDC and outdoor activities. The striking Bowie-shaped blade of 10 cm with a coated finish makes this knife both functional and stylish.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, we tested this knife intensively. The spring-assisted mechanism worked flawlessly, even with wet hands. The balance felt solid due to the weight of 183 grams, which provided more confidence during heavier cutting tasks.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel retains its sharpness reasonably well and is corrosion-resistant. This pocket knife cuts effortlessly through rope, thin wood and food. The plain-edge grind and Bowie blade shape make it versatile, although the steel does require regular sharpening with intensive use.

Grip and ease of use

The brown wooden handle offers an ergonomic grip with good texture. The spring-assisted opening mechanism and sturdy liner lock make this knife easy to open one-handed and safe to use. The included pocket clip keeps the knife securely in place.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Ideal for beginners looking for a first reliable pocket knife for camping and hiking. Experienced EDC users will also appreciate the robust construction and classic appearance. For heavy bushcraft tasks there are better options, but for general outdoor use this is an excellent choice.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but benefits from regular maintenance. Clean the blade after use and dry it thoroughly. The coated finish provides extra protection against corrosion. Oil the hinge monthly for optimal operation of the spring mechanism.
