The knife ships with a black plastic sheath with belt loop and carries a limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon Steel Blade Built for Bushcraft Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bushcraft BlackBlade's carbon steel blade is 4.3 inches long and 3.2 mm thick, a geometry that holds a keen edge through sustained wood processing, food prep, and camp utility tasks. Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than most stainless alloys and responds well to field sharpening with a whetstone or ceramic rod, so a blade that dulls during a multi-day trip can be brought back to working sharpness without a shop. The anti-corrosion coating extends service life in wet conditions and reduces the maintenance burden that bare carbon steel would otherwise demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e90° Spine Ground for Fire Starting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spine of the Bushcraft BlackBlade has been ground to a true 90° edge specifically to throw sparks from a ferrocerium fire starter. Knives with a rounded or beveled spine (not designed for this task) produce weak, inconsistent sparks or damage the striker. Having that capability built into the blade means one less dedicated tool to carry. A fire starter is sold separately and is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandle Designed for Extended Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ergonomic handle uses a high-friction rubber grip that keeps the knife secure in wet or gloved hands. A handle that shifts or rotates under load increases fatigue and the risk of a slip during carving or batoning. The grip geometry is shaped to feel like a natural extension of the hand across a range of grip styles (overhand, pinch, and chest-lever), which matters on tasks that run longer than a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon steel blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.3-inch blade with anti-corrosion coating for durability in field conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90° ground spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e prepared specifically for use with a ferrocerium fire starter (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-friction rubber grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e ergonomic handle maintains control in wet or cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack plastic sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e included sheath with belt loop for carry and blade protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited lifetime warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e covered against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCarbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.3 in (109 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTotal length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e9.1 in (232 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5.7 oz (162 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack plastic with belt loop\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSweden\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLimited lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Bushcraft BlackBlade suits campers, overlanders, and bushcraft practitioners who want a dedicated fixed blade for wood processing, camp tasks, and fire starting with a ferrocerium striker. The carbon steel blade and 90° spine make it a capable choice for anyone who prioritizes edge performance and fire-starting utility over a maintenance-free blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Bushcraft BlackBlade does not include a fire starter, which must be purchased separately. Carbon steel requires more attentive drying and occasional oiling than stainless steel blades; buyers who prefer a lower-maintenance option should consider a stainless steel variant instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs a fire starter included with the Bushcraft BlackBlade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo fire starter is included with the Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade. The knife's spine has been ground to 90° to work with a ferrocerium fire starter, but that tool must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhy does carbon steel require more care than stainless steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eCarbon steel holds a sharper edge and sharpens more easily in the field than most stainless alloys, but it is more susceptible to rust and staining if left wet or uncleaned. The Bushcraft BlackBlade's anti-corrosion coating reduces this risk, but drying the blade after use and applying a light oil during storage extends its service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sheath does the Bushcraft BlackBlade come with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade includes a black plastic sheath with a belt loop, suitable for right- or left-side carry on a standard belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow long is the blade, and what is the total knife length?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Bushcraft BlackBlade has a 4.3-inch (109 mm) blade and a total length of 9.1 inches (232 mm).
