SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Battle Horse Knives Patriot Scout with a Scandi grind and maple handle brings a traditional, no-nonsense character to a field knife built for deliberate work. Its 3.94-inch O1 steel drop point blade uses a true Scandi grind that excels at controlled wood carving, feathering, shaping material, and handling all the small, precise tasks that define real bushcraft. This grind bites deep and tracks clean, giving you predictable performance whether you’re crafting tools, prepping kindling, or working through the daily rhythm of camp chores. The blade’s geometry offers a steady, disciplined feel that rewards careful technique and stands up to repeated use in rough conditions.
Full tang construction reinforces that reliability, sending strength from tip to pommel and ensuring the knife won’t flinch when put under pressure. The maple handle scales bring a warm, natural grip that settles comfortably into the hand during long sessions. Its smooth, contoured shape provides control without hotspots, and the organic texture offers a secure purchase even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. At roughly 8.25 inches overall and around 7 ounces, the Patriot Scout balances nimbleness with a reassuring, solid feel. It carries easily yet works with enough presence to handle meaningful tasks with confidence.
The knife rides in a brown leather sheath fitted with a sturdy belt loop for dependable carry. Built for real use, the sheath protects the blade while keeping it accessible when the work can’t wait. Proudly made in the USA, this version of the Patriot Scout reflects straightforward craftsmanship, practical design, and a dedication to tools that serve rather than show off. It’s a trustworthy companion for bushcrafters, hunters, and anyone who values clear performance over frills.
