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 a blackened blade, an OD Green handle, orange whistle, and light gray sheath.
GRIM GRANITE LIMITED EDITION: This is the OD Green Option with custom-etched Grim Granite (by Gordon Crum) logo on the blackened blade, an OD Green handle, orange whistle, and light gray sheath. (Note: the lighting for our photo causes the blade to look darker than the OD Green Option but they are the same knife. Only difference is this one comes with the Grim Granite logo on one side of the blade.)
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.

These are great knives! Got mine when they were on Kickstarter and really enjoy it. Fits great in your hand. Good retention in the sheath, yet its easy to remove with a thumb push. It's a great value for everything you get. Farro rod, sheath, sharpener, whistle. (Don't forget, use the back of the knife on the farro rod.)
The clip fits well on a backpack strap, but might want to grab the belt clip or pocket clip, depending on how you like to carry.
When I get another it will be the Slicer for food time.
I bought some for my nephews for Christmas. Perfect gift for a Boyscout.
It's great to buy from a company that takes pride in their products and their customer service.

The handle in relationship to the blade
The handle in relationship to the blade is what makes this survival knife great
Thanks for the kind words! Mike (OE founder, designer & engineer behind all OE gear) put a lot of thought into getting that handle-to-blade balance just right, so it’s awesome to hear you notice the difference. Appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Thank you!

Good to light my canaster stove, not so good for my alcohol stove
I just got it yesterday so I don't have a lot of experience with it. However I did try it with the two stoves I use. It works better with my canaster stove but I had difficulty directing the spark into my alcohol stove, which is my go to stove. I will get better at using it. You need to give us a little time before you ask for a review.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving it a try so soon. We appreciate the note about our review timing—looks like the request went out earlier than intended. Glad to hear it’s working well with your canister stove, and we hope it becomes second nature with the alcohol stove as you use it more.
