A compact knife for real camp chores.
We recommend the Bushmate 2.0 for campers and bushcraft users who want a compact fixed blade for carving, feather sticks, food prep, and routine cutting around camp. The 98mm Scandi-ground blade gives this 220mm knife a useful balance of controlled edge length and a full-tang walnut handle, while BPS lists a leather sheath and fire starter in the package. Buy it if that focused camp role is one you will actually use. Its 1066 carbon steel needs to be cleaned and dried after use, and the current product listing does not let you choose the sheath carry style. Choose a stainless-steel knife for easier wet-weather care, or a saw or hatchet for processing larger wood.

- Sheath and fire starter are part of the listed package
- A handle with a traditional feel

Who should buy the Bushmate 2.0?
Put the Bushmate on your shortlist if your trips include deliberate camp tasks such as carving, making feather sticks, preparing food, and cutting cord or small kindling. The 98mm blade is compact enough to carry as part of a broader kit, while its full-tang build and Scandi grind suit users who want a simple fixed blade with a clear outdoor role. We would not buy a knife just because it appears on a camping checklist: if your trips stay at a developed campsite and your kitchen tools already cover the work, you may not need one.
Why the Scandi edge suits this role
BPS describes the Scandi grind as intended for wood work, including carving and kindling preparation. Its broad bevel gives the knife a clear, easy-to-follow edge shape when sharpening. We see that as a practical match for controlled camp cuts and users willing to maintain the edge themselves. The 3mm blade and 98mm length set the scale: use a saw or hatchet for larger pieces, and avoid treating a camp knife as a pry bar.
What arrives, and which sheath should you expect?
The current product page describes a leather sheath and fire starter, with the package weight listed at 250g. Its Shopify listing currently has one default variant, not a selection for different carry styles. BPS's July 2026 product update says the refreshed Bushmate 2.0 sheath is offered with a dangler or fixed belt loop. Since the live listing does not show a picker, confirm the attachment with BPS before ordering if you have a strong preference.
Check delivery and local knife rules
BPS's shipping policy says it ships to almost all countries, excluding Russia, and asks customers in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Vietnam to contact the company before ordering. It estimates 14–21 days for international delivery and notes that delays may occur. That is the seller's shipping policy, not a confirmation that this knife may be imported or carried in every destination. Check your local import, ownership, and carry rules before you buy.

The supplied code SEBASTIANBASSOL is reported as 10% off, but eligible products, exclusions, minimum spend, stacking rules, and expiry have not been supplied, and checkout has not been tested.

Why we like it.
A useful shape for controlled camp work
The 98mm blade and Scandi grind give the Bushmate a practical profile for carving, feather sticks, and straightforward food prep. We like this size for users who want more control than a large camp blade without stepping down to a pocket folder. It is a focused cutting tool, not a replacement for a saw or hatchet when the job is larger wood.
Full-tang construction in a compact package
BPS pairs a 3mm blade with full-tang construction and a walnut handle. That combination keeps the knife simple to understand and carry; the bare knife is listed at 148g, rising to 250g with the sheath and fire starter. Use the complete figure when deciding whether this is worth carrying on foot.
Sheath and fire starter are part of the listed package
The product page describes a leather sheath and fire starter, and its weight table gives a 250g figure for the combination. That makes the Bushmate easier to evaluate as a carry-ready camp set than a bare blade. BPS's July 2026 update describes dangler and fixed-loop sheath options, but the current product page shows one default variant rather than a carry-style selector.
A handle with a traditional feel
The walnut scales are treated with Danish oil, according to BPS. We like that material choice for campers who prefer a warm, familiar grip and a straightforward fixed-blade design. Wood still deserves sensible care: dry the knife and handle after a wet trip, and inspect the fasteners periodically.
A few things to consider.
Carbon steel needs attention after use
BPS identifies 1066 carbon steel and advises cleaning and drying the blade to prevent rust. This is a good fit if you are comfortable wiping the knife down and applying a light protective oil before storage. Choose stainless steel if you want lower-maintenance storage in damp conditions.
The complete carry setup weighs more than the knife
BPS lists 148g for the knife alone and 250g with the sheath and fire starter. The latter is the more useful number for a pack list. A small folding knife can make more sense when your camp needs only occasional light cutting.
Confirm which sheath attachment ships
BPS's product page presents one default listing, while its Bushmate 2.0 update describes both a dangler and a fixed belt loop. The current page does not expose that choice as a variant, so contact the seller if one carry style matters to you before placing the order.

Is the Bushmate 2.0 a good camping knife?
We recommend it for campers and bushcraft users who will use a compact fixed blade for carving, food prep, feather sticks, and routine cutting. The 98mm Scandi-ground blade and full-tang design suit that focused role. A folding knife may be enough for occasional light use, while a saw or hatchet handles larger wood.
What steel does the Bushmate 2.0 use?
BPS lists 1066 high-carbon steel hardened to 56–57 HRC. The maker advises cleaning and drying the blade after use to help prevent rust; apply a light protective oil before storage.
How much does the Bushmate 2.0 weigh?
BPS lists 148g without the sheath and 250g with the leather sheath and fire starter. Use 250g when planning the complete carry setup.
Does it include a sheath and fire starter?
The current BPS product page describes a leather sheath and fire starter and lists a combined weight. The live product listing has one default variant, so check package details at checkout.

BPS's July 2026 Bushmate 2.0 update describes both carry styles, but the current product page does not show a selector. Contact BPS before ordering if you need a specific attachment.

BPS says it ships to almost all countries except Russia, with customers in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Vietnam asked to contact the company first. Delivery coverage does not establish local import or carry legality, so check destination rules before ordering.
