The only real qualifier that makes a knife a camping knife is whether or not you plan to take it camping.

Today we are going to be looking at a few of our most popular knives for campers to consider when they need to buy a camping knife.

Architect Field Buddy 5.5

One of our best selling options is our own Architect Field Buddy. Our team spent years working on the perfect outdoor knife and this versatile knife was the result of all that hard work. The goal of this knife was to find the sweet spot when it came to survival and bushcraft knives. These knives have a 5.5 inch blade with a versatile drop point design constructed from thick 5/32” 1095 carbon steel. The belly of these saber ground ground knives is perfect for slicing tasks while the thumb jimping towards the handle helps to provide exceptional control.

Field Buddy 6.5

In addition to the Field Buddy 5.5, we also offer the Architect field buddy 6.5. This knife features an extra inch of blade length over the Field Buddy 5.5, making it a great choice for anyone who prefers a larger camping/outdoor survival. These knives have a little more power behind them, plus they feature the same solid construction and attributes as our Field Buddy 5.5. This makes them a great choice for tackling all of your campsite chores.

ESEE Knives Camp-Lore PR4

Another hard working knife, the Camp-Lore PR4 has camping built into its name. These knives were designed by Patrick Rollins, the head instructor at ESEE Knives affiliate survival school, Randall’s Adventure & Training. Made with bushcraft and survival in mind, these spear point knives are made with strong 4 inch 1095 carbon steel and sculpted micarta handles. The spear point, saber grind, and blade size make it easy to stab and slice with ease so you can complete all of your camp chores with this one knife.

ESEE 6

The ESEE 6 is a classically designed drop point knife made with function in mind. These knives are incredibly well balanced and are designed for tackling both simple and complex jobs. The thumb jimping and finger choil make it easy to choke up on the blade for extra control while performing fine tasks like carving and preparing food. The blade’s large size also makes it perfect for chopping and batoning tasks. If you are looking to buy a camping knife that will be able to handle whatever your trip throws at you, the ESEE 6 is a great choice.

ESEE Knives IZULA-II

If you are looking for a more compact option, the IZULA-II is a strong knife in a smaller package. These knives feature a 2 ⅝” cutting edge, making these knives significantly smaller than other options we have covered. The extra half inch of blade compared to the original ESEE IZULA make these knives even more versatile around the campsite. The handle is long enough to get a secure grip while the blade’s smaller size makes it strong and durable. Just like the “Isula” bullet ant it is named after, the IZULA is a lot tougher than its size might suggest.

ESEE Knives Expat Darien

When you know you will be chopping and clearing brush, you are going to need a bigger knife. The Expat Darian is a machete designed by ESEE to provide you with 12.38 inches of chopping power. Made with 1075 carbon steel, these knives have the long blade needed for a powerful swing and a comfortable curved handle to provide control.
