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?Ā
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.Ā Ā
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:Ā Tighten or replace the threaded 1/4ā 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:Ā 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 ourĀ 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:Ā 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 youāre 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, Motherās Day, Fatherās 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.Ā
Did you know an owl's feathers fluoresce? Now your Scout Feather can too with the 'Wise Owl' Glow Option!
OD GREEN SCALES OPTION:Available with a blackened blade, an OD Green handle, orange whistle, and light gray sheath.
GLOW WITH ORANGE SCALES OPTION:Available with a blackened blade, an Orange handle, GLOW whistle, and black sheath.

What's in a name?Ā
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.Ā Read more here.

I bought the Orange Glow Scout on Outdoor Element's Whatnot.com auction. Adding to my collection of their other knives and cool gear. This is a great addition! Cool orange color, easy to find amongst your gear during the day, easy to find at night in a dark tent. They engrave the knives they sell on auction, this one has an owl on it. Gave an engraved Contour to my dad, he loves it! Check out OE Whatnot auctions, they have other really cool and unique engravings they only sell on the auctions.
Also including a pic of my Grey Glow Scout while out exploring. It has lasted years, has taken a bit of a beating, but still looks new and is still sharp. I always carry a Scout and Fiber Light with me. OE products are a great value.

Purchased a scout feather last summer and loved
Purchased a scout feather last summer and loved it. After using it a bit more it has become one of my favorite pieces of gear, so much so that I just ordered 6 more. One for my wife, one for each one of the three kids , and one to keep in each of our vehicles so that we always have one on hand.
Oh wow! This made my day! Sharing is caring, and this is evidence that you care about your family! Love that you bought each family member a Scout plus one to put in each vehicle. Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing your love of Scout and for the 5-star review!

New fixed blade EDC carrier
Recently started carrying a fixed blade in addition to an assisted folder and wanted a knife with good steel and the VG10 met that requirement. Really like the knife but not so much the sheath as received it was way too tight. When I realized what was causing that I fixed that and am well pleased. The clip (?) that holds the ferrous rod pinches the side of the sheath at the top, removed that and the tension is perfect. Well pleased with this product
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Scout Feather. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the knife. We appreciate the feedback about the sheath and will look into the cause of that issue. Glad you were able to adjust it and hope it continues to serve you well on your adventures. Happy adventuring!

Havenāt really tested it yet
I havenāt used the knife outside of the house yet, but it seems to hold an edge well and feels good in the hand.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We hope you're able to enjoy using your Scout Feather outdoors soon. We'd love to see pics when you do. Thanks for your purchase and your great review! Happy adventuring!

Adding to my 10/28/2025 review
Finally got back in the wild again and had a great time with my Scout. I had matches, but I lit our campfire and camp stoves with the Scout because its so darn fun. Used the whistle to signal fellow campers who explored other trails.
Don't overlook all this quality, utility, and great customer service for under 70 bucks! It's awesome!
These make great gifts. My nephews loved the Scout I gave them for Christmas.
Grab a Scout for your belt/pack and a Slicer for your kitchen set. Get out and have some fun!
Wowāthank you so much for coming back to share this (and for the photos and video!). Itās awesome to hear the Scout getting real use againāfire starting, signaling, and just having fun out there is exactly what it was made for. We love that youāre passing them on as gifts too, and that your nephews are enjoying theirs. Truly appreciate the kind words and your supportāthanks for taking us along on your adventures.
I got this to puncture propane bottles and it worked amazingly. Wasn't sure if I would be strong enough to use it but it worked easily without any difficulty.

The fuel canister recycle tool works great and solves the problem of being able to properly recycle the canisters. I've not yet had a chance to try the pot gripper but I am sure that it will work just as well.
This is a good backpack pillow that can also serve as a seat while hiking or in camp. It inflates quickly and seals with a press on the spring valve. I used two camp pillows as a substitute mattress when I forgot to bring my Thermarest. One under the hip and another under the shoulder plus a sweater under the head.
Itty bitty, but effective. Handy to have in my pocket for dog walks. I have one in the car and in my bag too. The glow in the dark is fun. Canāt say enough good things about this company. I donāt think you can go wrong with any purchase from them.
Love the 5-star review! Thanks!! Sometimes the best gear is the smallest gear. We're glad this little whistle has come in handy for you. Thanks for sharing so many examples of how to use it! It's always good to have a way to signal. Thanks for shopping with us and for your kind words!
