Certified Safe Tradesman: Ironwood Burl & Orange G10 Apparel [KrluV69A]

The Tradesman is a bushcraft knife inspired by the fur-trade knives brought to North America by it's early explorers.  This knife has a relatively thin and constantly upward-curving edge, making it an excellent slicer.  The fine tip allows for intricate woodworking.  This is essentially a camp kitchen knife and bushcraft knife hybrid, excelling at the job whether you're making a bow-drill set, preparing a stew, processing firewood, butchering game, or building a shelter.

This particular build is based off of the Tradesman Joe Robinet has, including the triple-swell contour versus our usual coke-bottle shape.  Of course, there are variations in the figure of the wood.  Check out his video on bushcraft knife use featuring the Tradesman below:

*Note; this knife does not have a tapered tang.  With the most recent build, we skeletonized the tang a bit extra to reduce weight instead of tapering it.  The price has been lowered accordingly.
