La Chasse Boar Hunter – Robust bushcraft knife for demanding outdoor tasks

The Walther La Chasse Boar Hunter is an impressive bushcraft knife with a blade length of 23.5 cm. This fixed blade knife is made from 440C steel and is perfect for heavy-duty outdoor work. Its robust character and spearpoint blade shape make this knife ideal for bushcraft, survival, and hunting activities.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, it was noticeable how effortlessly this knife cut through thick wood when preparing firewood. The extra-long blade provided plenty of leverage, although we did notice that the 400-gram weight became noticeable in the forearm after prolonged use.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The 440C steel is a proven steel type that offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance – it remains razor-sharp for a long time but is also easy to resharpen. The spearpoint shape and the 4 cm wide blade make this knife excellent for working with wood, skinning game, and chopping through rope. The plain-edge grind ensures consistent cutting performance.

Grip and ease of use

The pakkawood handle sits comfortably in the hand and provides an ergonomic grip, even with wet hands. The steel guard between the blade and handle prevents your hand from slipping forward during powerful cutting movements. The balance is forward-oriented due to the long blade, which facilitates chopping motions.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for the advanced bushcrafter or hunter looking for a heavy, reliable knife for demanding tasks. Due to its size and weight, it is less suitable as an EDC knife, but perfect for your backpack during multi-day outdoor adventures where you really need proper tools.

Maintenance and durability

The 440C steel has good corrosion resistance, but we recommend cleaning and drying the knife after use. The included leather sheath protects the blade well during transport. Regular sharpening with a whetstone keeps this outdoor knife in top condition for years of reliable use.
