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.

Out of the box quality! This is one of the best“Practical “ EDC knives that I have ever laid my hands on. Out of the box sharp as a razor! The fit and finish are great. The ergonomics of this knife are awesome. For a small knife and having larger hands, i fell in love with it. It is everything that you want over the CRKT minimalist and then some! The sheath is also very well made, the addition of the ferro rod and ceramic (not cheap) sharpener are all great additions! For the everyday outdoorsman. I would recommend this small yet awesome knife hands down. I will be buying one for every member of my immediate family asap.

Beginnings of my tactical bag
This was a gift for my bday from my son. He wanted me to have the best item you could start with for a tactical bag. Amazing little survival knife. High quality and made in the USA.
Thank you for the thoughtful review—and happy (belated) birthday! Sounds like your son nailed the gift. We're honored the Scout Feather was chosen as the first piece for your tactical bag.
Just a quick note for clarity: While the Scout Feather was designed by Mike (here in Colorado), it isn’t manufactured in the USA. However, our Fiber Light fire starter is proudly made here, and we're always exploring ways to expand U.S.-based production when it makes sense.
We’re grateful to be part of your gear lineup. Wishing you many adventures ahead!

05/15 Missing sheath Update 05/27
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.
Thank you so much, Jeff. We're really grateful for your patience as we worked through the situation, and we're so glad everything was made right in the end. It means a lot to hear that you’re happy with your Scout Feather. We’re honored to have earned your trust and look forward to being part of your future adventures.

Scout feather knife
Great knife. I love it.
Hi there! Thank you for leaving such a positive review for our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. We're so glad to hear that you love it! Happy adventuring!
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.
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.
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.
Just ordered the pocket clip and I only have initial impressions. It has good hold, sits deep in your pocket and provides an alternate carry which is great. It is set up for right pocket carry and although it has slot it only mounts in one spot. If I can find a slightly longer screw your may be able to mount through the ferro rod attachment as well. Not sure that I like the screw and tiny nut used to attach this clip to the sheath since it was a little pain to attach, you will need a small screwdriver and pliers. Thank you for a nice quality clip offering more opportunities to carry The scout feather.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the pocket knife clip. We appreciate your feedback about the screw and tiny nut used to attach the clip, and we will definitely take that into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for choosing our product and for your support. Happy adventuring!
