Awarded BEST SURVIVAL KNIFE by Backpacker Magazine!
What makes Scout Feather the best EDC knife and a must for camping, adventure, hunting, fishing, and survival?
It's got to be that it is so much more than just a knife. Not only does it cut, it also sparks fire, sharpens in the field, and signals for help.
SCOUT FEATHER: EDC Drop Point Blade
A scout is prepared; a scout knows the environment and loves the outdoors. Confidence radiates from a scout. Welcome to the Scout Feather -- the ideal tool in the quiver of preparedness. This small and mighty blade cuts, sparks fire, sharpens, and signals.
That's four Elements of Adventure so you can Explore with Confidence!
4 ELEMENTS FOR ADVENTURE
CUT: Confidently cut with this small yet mighty blade. From camp kitchen to campfire, Scout is nimble enough to whittle, strong enough to baton.
Scout Feather's drop point traditional profile and saber grind make this little fixed blade incredibly sharp and strong. With exceptional durability, Scout chops, cuts, and pierces with ease. It's the ultimate camp culinary knife and so much more. Scout takes a beating and retains a razor-sharp edge.
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. Hone the blade on the go using the ceramic honing V notch in the sheath.
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 Scout 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 Scout Feather as a neck knife by threading the cordage of your choice (we suggest our custom survival cord) through the two larger sheath rivets. Scout Feather is lightweight (2.3 oz unsheathed, 4.0 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.
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!
OD GREEN OPTION:Available with blackened blade, an OD Green handle, orange whistle, and light gray sheath.
GRIM GRANITE LIMITED EDITION:Available with custom-etched Grim Granite (by Gordon Crum) logo on the blackened blade, an OD Green handle, orange whistle, and light gray sheath.
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.

This is an update on the review I did on May 15 for the scout feather.
The knife I had received in the box was not One from this company. It was discovered that it had been switched somehow, somewhere by some lowlife individual.
I was contacted by representatives from outdoor element and they cleared up the muddy water on the knife and the switch of the knife and I was sent the original knife with sheath with sharpener fire-starter and whistle that I had originally ordered. I am very happy, 100% satisfying and this is an awesome product. I look forward to doing more business outdoor elements. Thank you guys and gals awesome job,
that’s what I call service after the sale! Jeff Carney.

Won’t make that mistake again!
---- UPDATE: SEE CUSTOMER'S FOLLOWUP REVIEW TITLED '05/15 Missing sheath Update 05/27' ---- We're thrilled to report that the snafu was resolved and this customer received the Scout Feather he ordered. He was kind enough to give 5 stars for the product and service! Ahhh, we love making people happy! ☺️ Thanks for letting us earn your trust for future adventures!
Our response to the original review:
Whoa! That is not an Outdoor Element knife. We didn't ship that to you. It appears that someone deceitfully 'returned' their purchase on Amazon but sent in a non-OE knife in the OE box. It was then restocked and unfortunatley shipped out as an OE product which it clearly is not. We are working with Amazon to prevent this from ever happening in the future. It is disheartening when bad actors ruin the experience of others. We want to make this right for you. Please see your email for more information. Thank you

Great Knife
I took some time to test the knife before reviewing. So far I haven't encountered any problems with it. The blade is still sharp as out of the box after several months of use. I have used it to whittle as well as cutting several things with it, including a can and no problems whatsoever. I also tested the sheath sharpener with another dull knife and it made it sharp again. The whistle is very loud too. Sadly I couldn't test the fire rod yet, but I am sure it is as amazing as the rest of the knife.
The customer service was also exceptional. I ordered the knife and had a question about the estimated delivery time and Joe responded to me super quickly and was helpful as well. One of the perks of shopping at a small business!
Would definitely recommend and I am already thinking about getting another knife from outdoor element...!
Thank you for taking the time to test and review our Scout Feather. We're glad to hear that it performed well and that you have had a positive experience all around. We hope you get the chance to test the fire rod soon and we appreciate your support of our small business. Happy adventuring!

Great tool, thoughtfully designed, and makes real progress toward solving a problem most of us just take for granted—throwing away perfectly good aluminum after a single use. Some of the silicone tabs have fallen out of mine, but it doesn't really affect the functionality.
Thanks for the kind words and honest feedback! We're thrilled it's making a difference—and noted on the silicone tabs. We'll keep dialing it in. Here's to smarter gear and less waste! ♻️
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!
