Is the No.09 Good for Bushcraft?
Yes. The No.09's larger 3.9-inch blade gives more working length for feathersticks, notching, food prep, and camp tasks than the smaller No.08, while the stainless steel blade resists rust in wet conditions — a key advantage over carbon for outdoor use.
Blade Length and Weight
- Blade length: approximately 3.94 in (10 cm)
- Lightweight beechwood handle construction
- Virobloc rotating collar locks the blade open or closed
No.09 Stainless vs. Carbon
Stainless steel needs almost no maintenance and won't discolor in rain or humidity — the right choice for camping, kayaking, and coastal use. Carbon holds a keener edge longer but demands oiling. For most outdoor users, stainless wins on convenience.
No.09 vs. No.08 for Camping
The No.08 (3.28 in blade) is lighter and pocket-friendlier. The No.09 gives roughly 20% more blade for batoning-light tasks, food prep, and larger hands — the better camp knife.
