High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESIn the rugged days of early America, frontiersmen and trappers relied on small patch knives as essential companions. These compact blades weren’t just tools—they were lifelines, trusted for the everyday tasks of survival in untamed wilderness. The SZCO Small Patch Burlwood Hunter Fixed Blade Knife carries that tradition forward, blending historical authenticity with modern reliability. It’s a knife that feels like a story in your hand, a link to a time when craftsmanship and utility were inseparable.
Measuring just 5.75 inches overall, this knife strikes the perfect balance between compact portability and capable performance. The 2.63-inch stainless steel blade offers sharp precision and durability, making it as effective for bushcraft and camp chores as it is for small cutting tasks around the home. Its full-tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, giving you a blade that can stand up to years of dependable use without compromise.
The burlwood handle is the heart of this knife’s appeal. Every piece of burlwood tells a different story, with intricate, swirling grain patterns that make each knife a one-of-a-kind work of natural art. Warm in the hand and shaped for comfort, the handle is secured with classic brass pins that not only add durability but also lend the knife a timeless, traditional character. Over time, the brass will take on a natural patina, enhancing the knife’s rustic charm and individuality.
No blade of this caliber would be complete without a sheath that matches its character. The SZCO Small Patch Burlwood Hunter comes housed in a handcrafted-style leather sheath that looks as good as it performs. Tooled with care, accented with fringe, and finished with decorative beads, it transforms a simple belt carry into a statement of rugged independence. This sheath ensures the knife is always within reach, whether worn at a historical reenactment, tucked in your pack for a camping trip, or displayed as part of a collection.
The Small Patch Burlwood Hunter isn’t just for reenactors or collectors—it’s a knife that rewards everyday use while standing apart as something special. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for a neck or boot knife, and its natural beauty ensures it’ll be admired wherever it’s carried. Whether you’re a woodsman, a craftsman, or someone who values gear with both story and soul, this fixed blade delivers.
