Our first batch of these was so popular we started work straight away on batch number 2 of the East Anglian Bushcraft knife. Craig's been testing one of our Bear Cubs for some time now and we've finally come together to create these stunning pieces for your adventures.
The Bear Cub is one of our personal favourites, an exercise in creating a Bushcraft knife that's ready for anything, and to top it off we've taken onboard Craig's feedback, from his real world use of this tool and tweaked her here and there for 2024.
Made from the usual suspects material wise, micarta & G10 scale options which offer great grip, AEBL stainless steel for its toughness, edge holding, and not being ridiculously hard to sharpen out in the wilderness along with its great patina resistance for good measure.
Weve also slimmed the knife down a fraction, extended the cutting edge ever so slightly and increased the length of the tang to accommodate larger hands. Don't worry though we've kept the features that's made this knife one of our best sellers over the years, such as, full tang, sharp spine for ferro rod and birch bark scraping, flared tubes for a mechanical fit for the scales to tang, making the scales super reliable.
The utilitarian kydex sheath is given some finesse with the addition of a leather veg tan wrap which we've embossed with Craig's logo, the sheath will also take a normal tek-lok style belt clip if you feel the need.
We are very happy with how far we've come with this knife and the overhaul for 2024, and hope you'll share your adventures with us over on Instagram.

FAQs
PAYMENT
Once the knife is bought we complete with a quick I.D check to confirm you are over 18 years old, to keep us legal with the current laws around the sale of knives over the internet.
GUARANTEE
Our knives come with a common sense guarantee, covering craftsmanship and materials. This does not cover abuse or general wear and tear, for example, over time knives get dull and need basic sharpening and maintenance, carbon steel knives can pick up patina or rust if put away wet, left in damp atmospheres or generally neglected.
All of our knives are made by hand and as such none are perfect, if you look hard enough and study the knife intently, you may find the odd light scratch or blemish picked up in the making process. We call this character and it's what makes your knife yours, it will in fact pick up much worse over a short period of time through normal use and begin to tell its own story.
