Outdoor Element Launches Hugely Successful Kickstarter Campaign with Two Innovative Fixed Blades

February 23, 2024 Outdoor Element

Flicker Feather & Scout Feather on Kickstarter

Less than 2 hours after launching our two newest fixed blade knives on Kickstarter, our $6,500 goal was fully funded. And it hasn't slowed since. In under two days, the first stretch goal of $30,000 was met. Ten days after launching, the second stretch goal of $50,000 was met. (Each stretch goal unlocks additional features or product available post-campaign.)

At any moment now (it's Feb 23rd), the campaign is poised to reach 2000% funded! And there's still 12 days to go!!

Flicker Feather, a true chisel tool, and Scout Feather, the drop point sabre grind blade, are soaring to new heights on Kickstarter because these innovative knives do so much more than cut. They provide every outdoor enthusiast with the essentials for adventure - Cut, Combustion, Sharpen & Signal.

Flicker Feather & Scout Feather provide essentials for adventure: cut, combustion, sharpen, signal

We couldn't be happier with the reception these knives continue to receive on Kickstarter, by influencers and in the press. We didn't pay for the press, or any of these reviews or commentary. They're simply authentic enthusiasm for these innovative knives.

A superb knife.

It arrived extremely quick and was well packed. It's a sturdy little knife, the whistle works pretty well and it feels really good in the hand. Very lightweight the grip is amazing You're not going to be dropping this thing if you hold it tight enough and the grip is very comfortable. This would also be good as a self-defense knife as well, especially with that whistle. The sheath is amazing high quality in that thing. High quality in pretty much every aspect of this knife. I highly recommend anything from this shop if it's made half as well as this knife was. This knife is extremely well made.

Even better than expected!

I was waiting to get my hands on this and can't believe I waited so long to make the purchase. The build construction and quality of materials rivals any other kit in my collection. I love the weight and feel in the hand.

Thank you for your amazing feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife exceeded your expectations. We strive to provide top-quality construction and materials in all of our products, and we're glad to hear it's reflected in your experience. Happy adventuring!

Impressive right out of the box

We purchased this as a gift for family.

I can't speak of the performance but it shipped quickly and is packaged well.

The materials feel great and the blade is sharp

This is a very small tool but fits quite comfortably in my hand.

I don't camp but this seems like a great piece to have on your hip
Best I can give it is 4/5 bc of that

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. We're glad to hear that it made a great gift for your family. We hope that it will serve them well on their adventures.

Nice little knife.

Well made and put together. Very sharp out of the box. Has nice ergonomics fits in the hand well. The sheath is also well made with just enough tension to hold the knife well in place without too much “pull” to release it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We're glad to hear that you are happy with your Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. Thank you for choosing Scout Feather for your adventures!

Lightweight Companion Knife

I will start with what I liked. I backed the Kickstarter, and received my knife very quickly. I like the weight and compactness of the knife and sheath. I can clip it inside my pocket like a folder and not even notice it's there. The ferro rod throws a lot of sparks.
The handle is a little small, and can get uncomfortable in my hands, but that may be just a personal preference. My biggest complaint is that I bought it to use it as a boot knife, and within a week of wearing it that way, I noticed that the sheath had somehow gotten looser around the blade, and now it was rattling. Not that the blade could fall out, it was very firmly held in the sheath. But the knife could "wiggle" inside the sheath, causing it to rattle. Not sure how this happened.
Overall, a nice companion knife to take with you instead of a folder, with some very good features.

We appreciate your feedback on our Flicker Feather Survival EDC Chisel Blade. We're glad to hear that you received your knife quickly and that you like its lightweight and compact design, the ferro rod and other features. Thank you for bringing the sheath becoming loose to our attention. We haven't encountered that before and we'd like to make it right for you. Thank you for choosing our product as your companion knife and for supporting us through Kickstarter!
