MTech Bootknife Black | SHOGUN

Bootknife Black | MTech – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Bootknife Black from MTech is a sturdy bushcraft knife with a practical spear point blade. This knife is designed for versatile outdoor tasks such as woodwork, cutting rope, and camping activities. With its coated finish and tough black appearance, this is a no-nonsense tool for the serious outdoor enthusiast.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip in the Ardennes, we extensively tested this knife. It stood out for its performance in heavier tasks such as making tent pegs. For finer cutting work, you do need to apply a bit more force.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The blade is made from 3Cr13 steel – a reliable type of steel that is easy to sharpen but requires more frequent maintenance. This knife cuts effectively through rope, wood, and sturdy cardboard. The spear point blade makes the knife versatile for both cutting and piercing during bushcraft activities.

Grip and ease of use

With an overall length of 28.58 cm, this knife sits firmly in the hand. The weight of 329 grams gives a solid feel without being too heavy. The balance is well distributed, although the handle could use a bit more texture for optimal grip in wet conditions.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for beginner bushcrafters looking for an affordable and reliable knife. Also suitable for campers who want a sturdy knife for general outdoor tasks. For professional survival situations, there are better options available.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance – dry the knife after use and oil the blade to prevent rust. The coated finish offers extra protection but may wear with intensive use. Sharpen the knife regularly for optimal performance.
