The Bark River Bushcrafter II is designed to be the ultimate bushcraft knife. The name itself is no accident: careful research has led to an exceptional result that is appreciated by enthusiasts in the field. The blade has an ideal shape for bushcraft activities, while the handle offers excellent ergonomics. Compared to the standard model, the Bushcrafter II is slightly larger, with a blade over an inch longer.

Made of CPM 3V steel, the blade is extremely durable and retains its sharpness for a long time. However, it is not completely stainless, so it should be cleaned after use and occasionally oiled to prevent corrosion. The edge has a convex bevel, which is easy to maintain by sanding.

The handle is made of fine desert ironwood burl, a hardwood from the U.S. and Mexico, featuring an elegant grain that gives the knife a luxurious look. The leather sheath allows for both vertical (belts up to 2 inches) and diagonal carry.

Each Bark River knife is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind.

Intended Use: Hiking / Utility / Bushcraft

Japanese steel meets Italian excellence

For this 2021 collaboration between Coltelleria Collini of Busto Arsizio and Fox Knives of Maniago, we decided to offer the 609OD Bushman, an outstanding bushcraft knife produced by Fox Knives of Maniago, using high-performance Japanese V-Toku2 Sanmai steel (5mm) from Takefu Steel instead of the D2 steel used in the standard model.

Specifically, we used high-carbon V-Toku2 at 62/63HRC for the central core and stainless SUS410 for the outer layers, ensuring exceptional cutting ability, penetration, and edge retention. At the same time, the blade offers high corrosion resistance and increased toughness due to the laminated structure and external stainless steel.

Technical Specifications

Like the ancient swords of the Japanese Samurai.

The laminated steel—imported into Italy by Collini Steel directly from Takefu Steel in Japan—follows the ancient Japanese tradition of crafting legendary Samurai swords. As early as the 1100s, Japanese blacksmiths combined different materials to create Katana swords with incredible cutting power, strength, and flexibility, unmatched at the time. This revolutionary forging technique has allowed Samurai swords to survive to this day as some of the most fascinating objects ever created.

By applying this tradition to modern metallurgy, we now have technologically advanced steels that have been tested and widely used in knife-making by renowned brands such as Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, and more.

San Mai Steel Features: This consists of different types of metals fused together to create a composite steel that enhances and intensifies the individual strengths of each material:

• Longer-lasting cutting edge: High-performance, high-carbon core steels (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered steels (SPG2) provide exceptional hardness and cutting performance after heat treatment.
• Increased toughness: Inspired by Japanese sword-making, the multi-layered steel is highly resistant to breakage due to the toughness of the core steel and the flexibility of the outer stainless steel layers.
• Improved corrosion resistance: The outer stainless steel layers provide high corrosion resistance. The galvanic combination of Takefu Steel’s materials further enhances resistance along the edge.
• Ease of reworking after heat treatment: Unlike standard steels, the outer layers retain some softness even after hardening, allowing for easier processing, drilling, and welding.
• Enhanced aesthetics: Multi-layered or Damascus-patterned knives are visually striking, elegant, and highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

The Bark River Aurora II is designed as the ultimate bushcraft knife, a result of extensive testing conducted by experts in North America and Europe. This outdoor knife, perfected through feedback received, is notable for its balance and versatility. The blade, made of CPM 3V steel, is renowned for its exceptional strength and its ability to retain an excellent edge over time. However, it is important to watch for moisture and acids, as CPM 3V is not completely stainless. Cleaning the knife after use and occasionally applying oil is recommended to ensure its longevity.

The Aurora II, significantly larger than the standard model, features a pointed tip ideal for detailed tasks and a spine suited for use with a fire starter. These characteristics make it an indispensable tool for outdoor activities.

The handle is made of desert ironwood, a hardwood appreciated for its color and unique pattern, giving the knife a luxurious look and improving grip. Each piece is handmade by Bark River, meaning that every knife is unique and may have slight variations compared to the images.
