The Woodlore Knife Pro is the latest and most advanced iteration of a genuinely classic blade — the pattern most people picture when they hear the word bushcraft.

Evolving a classic

The classic Woodlore pattern set the template for the modern bushcraft knife: a compact, honest fixed blade with a Scandinavian edge, sized for control rather than show. The Pro keeps everything that made that design an institution and layers on a compelling array of refinements for the avid outdoors practitioner — built with the materials, tolerances and finishing of a modern Emberleaf bench.

The pedigree

We know this pattern more intimately than most: the iconic Ray Mears bushcraft knife is made in this workshop, exclusively for Woodlore. The Pro is made here for Woodlore too, and sold through them.

What it does

Everything the bushcraft syllabus asks. Feather sticks and fire prep, carving and camp cooking, the daily general duties of a woodland knife — with a grind that any flat stone can maintain and a size that never argues with the belt. It is a knife entirely without gimmicks, which is precisely its appeal.
