What makes Flicker Feather the best EDC knife and a must for camping, adventure, woodworking, bushcraft, hunting, fishing, and survival?
It's got to be that it is so much more than just a knife. It not only cuts, but it also sparks fire, sharpens in the field, and signals for help.
FLICKER FEATHER: EDC Chisel Blade
The Northern Flicker is a woodpecker found in North America. Their chisel beaks have been known to torment my dad's cabin in Eastern Texas. How's that for name inspiration? This little chisel blade cuts, sparks fire, sharpens, and signals.
That's 4 Elements of Adventure so you can Explore with Confidence!
4 ELEMENTS FOR ADVENTURE
CUT:Confidently cut with this unique, small & mighty fixed blade. Flicker Feather's chisel blade is a unique tool - ideal for making a fine, straight cut and known for its strength, ease of sharpening, chopping, and cutting hole pattern. Use it for woodworking, bushcraft, and in the kitchen as your go-to camp culinary knife.
COMBUSTION: Throw generous sparks by striking the 90-degree spine against the hex-shaped, threaded ferrocerium rod integrated into the sheath.
SIGNAL: Be loud. Be found. A loud, 115b safety whistle is attached to the butt of the knife on a reflective mini lanyard strung through the hex driver.
SHARPEN: A sharp knife is a safe knife. Thanks to the 800-grit diamond sharpening plate built directly into the sheath, you can hone Flicker on the go.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
DRIVE:Tighten or replace the threaded 1/4” hex ferro rod using the built-in driver. The sheath is fully threaded so the ferro rod can be inserted backward, providing additional purchase/grip in holding the sheath and striking the knife's spine against the ferro rod.
CARRY OPTIONS:Multiple carry options make Flicker Feather secure and accessible. The form-fitted, secure-lock sheath features a heavy-duty clip, specifically designed to fit 3/4" webbing (common size of sternum straps on backpacks). MOLLE compatible. Or wear Flicker Feather as a neck knife by threading the cordage of your choice (we suggest our custom survival cord) through the two larger sheath rivets. Flicker Feather is lightweight (2.3 oz unsheathed, 4.2 oz sheathed) and easy to carry. Now includes additional belt clip and hardware.
GIFT IDEAS: Ideal for any outdoor enthusiast, whether novice or expert, for men, and women, EDC, cooking, fishing, camping, hiking, and bushcraft, stored in your emergency kit in the car or bug-out bag, so you’re ready for any outdoor adventure or emergency. Unique gift for the man or woman in your life that has everything. Give it for Christmas, as a stocking stuffer, or for any other holiday, birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or other occasion such as a wedding, graduation or thank you gift for a coach, mentor, teacher, friend, or neighbor.
BLADE ANGLE OPTIONS:Available with a right-handed grind to the blade, or a left-handed grind.
WISE OWL GLOW OPTION:Available in a fluorescent, glow-in-the-dark handle option and a GLOW whistle.
Did you know an owl's feathers fluoresce? Now your Scout Feather can too with the 'Wise Owl' Glow Option!
What's in a name?
Why is there a theme of feathers in the naming of the knives? Along with being lightweight and beautiful like these knives, feathers hearken back to my Native American heritage. Read more here.

I got this for my husband after I showed him my Scout Feather. This is absolutely his style and he loves it. It's such a cool blade and of course, love all the survival add-ons like the whistle, sharpener and ferro rod. Excellent product and excellent shipping and excellent company!
Scout Feather for you and Flicker Feather for him—now that’s what we call a power couple! Glad he’s loving it. Thanks so much for your kind words and taking time to leave a review. Most of all thanks for letting OE be part of your adventurous duo. 🔥 Happy adventures ahead!

Addendum to my previous review
I had left my previous 4-star review, and was contacted very quickly by their customer service. I was sent, free of charge, another sheath for my Flicker. Even if the new sheath hadn't fixed the "rattling" problem (which it did), I would still have updated my rating to 5 stars for such outstanding customer service. A great little knife from a company that stands behind their product. Good job!
Thank you for taking the time to send a reivew and and update. We're so glad to hear the new sheath remedied the problem and that we could be of help. Send us some pics of your adventures with Flicker Feather. Happy adventuring!

Love this knife
I absolutely love this little knife. I use it around the house to break down boxes, in my shop to chisel out pieces of wood, in my garden to clip off tomato suckers, and of course back packing. I've been searching for the same knife only a little bigger. This knife holds its sharpness even after constant use. I love it. This is now my favorite knife out of a plethora of cutting instruments. Well done.
Thank you so much for your positive review! We are thrilled to hear that our Flicker Feather Survival EDC Chisel Blade has become your go-to knife for various tasks around the house, in your shop, backpacking and even gardening! Thanks for sharing how useful Flicker is for everyday use. We appreciate you and your support!

Exactly as advertised
The knife is just what the brochure led me to believe. It's small and light enough that it will get carried on backcountry trips and day hikes closer to home....every time. A video demonstrating the best method for extracting the knife from the hard sheath would be helpful. I might be old but I'm not weak and I struggled mightily to remove the knife the first time.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Flicker Feather Survival EDC Chisel Blade.

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!
I love this knife as well as the fiber light! Both items are lightweight and work exactly as you'd want them too. Sharp, durable, lightweight, versatile, and the fiber light even works when it very wet. I first experienced them at the PNW Survival Games with David. He was awesome and the products were all amazing too.
first off, the knife is great. nice and sharp. sheath is much to tight, maybe it will break in with use. i can attest to the blade's sharpness, i wasn't paying attention while trying to remove the knife from its sheath and had my finger that was holding the sheath in the wrong spot, so now i have a nice big bandage on my finger. the sheath's tightness could be a no go for people with grip strength issues (or a bandaged finger :-}). delivery was unbelievably fast especially for USPS.
Thanks for the thoughtful review. We’re glad you’re loving the slicer feather knife and really appreciate your honest feedback on the sheath. It is designed with a snug fit for safety. The best way to open it is one-handed using your thumb to push against the sheath (near the back end of the ferro rod) while holding the knife handle—that trick usually makes it easier and much safer to remove the sheath. Sorry about the bandaged finger (ouch!). Thanks also for pointing out the speedy shipping!
Super well made piece. You can easily see and feel the attention to detail in all the functions/options included in this small but capable tool. Very happy with my purchase and will collect probably everything OE makes.
Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We put a lot of heart into the details, so it means a lot to hear you noticed. Stoked you’re happy with your gear—and we’ll do our best to keep making tools worth collecting! 🔥
Solid and functional. Yes, it is a little heavy. The nylon side is great for cleaning duty. The stainless steel insert adds rigidity and adds significant additional functionality. I want a stack of these to keep in my kitchen, my van, my toolbox and my shop! The towel is really nice and the sponge is fine. The scraper steals the show.
Thanks so much! 🙌 We’re glad the scraper is pulling its weight (literally 😅). Love hearing you’ve got plans to keep one in every corner of life—kitchen, van, shop, and beyond. Appreciate the feedback and the support!
