outdoor element Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife
More than just a drop-point knife, the Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife from outdoor element lets you spark a fire and signal for help as well as cut, chop and pierce.
- Drop-point traditional profile and saber grind make this blade incredibly sharp and strong; it's nimble enough to whittle and strong enough to baton
- Saber grind 2.75 in. VG-10 full-tang fixed blade (6.58 in. total length)
- Extremely corrosion-resistant stainless steel with 15.5% chromium content
- Rockwell hardness HRC 58–60 holds a sharp edge
- Handle features G10 scales, ergonomic design and durable grip
- Loud, 115 dB safety whistle is attached to the butt of the knife on a reflective mini lanyard strung through the hex driver
- Hone the blade while on the go using the integrated ceramic honing V-notch in the sheath
- To throw generous sparks, strike the blade's 90° spine (back side) against the hex-shaped, threaded ferrocerium rod integrated into the sheath
- Ferro rod is reversible and replaceable; tighten or replace the threaded 1/4 in. hex ferro rod using the hex wrench built into end of the tang
- Sheath is fully threaded so the ferro rod can be inserted backward, providing additional purchase/grip in holding the sheath and striking the knife's spine against the rod
- Form-fitted, secure-lock sheath features a heavy-duty, configurable clip, able to be rotated and specifically designed to attach to 3/4 in. sternum strap webbing
- Can be worn around the neck by threading the cordage of your choice through the 2 larger sheath rivets; easily remove the clip if desired (just 2 screws)
- Lightweight (2.3 oz. unsheathed; 4 oz. sheathed) and easy to carry
- Great for fishing, camping, hiking, bushcraft, or storing in your emergency kit in the car or bug-out bag—so you're ready for any outdoor adventure or emergency

Almost Perfect
I purchased this knife through a Kickstarter campaign. I'd had good success with other Kickstarters Outdoor Element has sponsored. This knife is no exception. I previously had a neck knife that was very lightweight, but its handle was a spiral of metal instead of something one grasps with their entire hand. It was functional, but a tang-style handle feels much safer. This knife weighs more than my other knife, but it fits my hand well. If I'm pressed to use it in self-defense, it's a much more effective weapon. I'm also less likely to cut myself when slicing up bits of lunch. I didn't need yet another whistle or yet another firestarter, but it's nice to have them handy as a 'just in case.' I'm not crazy about the sheath. Because I wear this on a lanyard around my neck, the sheath feels like overkill. The knife is very secure within it, and it's easy to pop out when you want it. (I have nerve damage in my dominant hand & arthritis in both thumbs. It's a relief for me to be able to deploy the knife quickly & easily.) I don't care for the clip. It's a bit narrower than my belt, and it grasps the webbing like crazy. I found it incredibly difficult to remove. That's why I went to wearing it around my neck, and I have to remind myself to never ever clip it to my belt. For some, the stoutness of the clip will be a positive feature.
“Survival package”
Excellent knife, actually it’s a survival package. Feels great in the hand, throws sparks like crazy and comes razor sharp. The packaging itself is indicative of the quality and care put into the product. I’ve bought two of these and will be buying more for gifts. Also will be buying the Flicker knife. Well worth the price !! You won’t be disappointed
Great knife
Great little knife, perfect for camping. The sheath with the fire starter and sharpener, and it taking up zero space and being super lite-weight makes it easy to be the only knife you need.
Hiking Must-Have
This small fixed blade is my go-to for hiking. I feel safer knowing I have a way to cut, start fire and signal should I need to. LOVE IT!
Great around the house and outdoors!
I love the blade on all the Outdoor Element knives and this one is no exception. The knife sharpener and fire starter on the sheath are also super convenient and east to use. I have this knife on my desk at home and use it frequently to open packages, envelopes, etc... It's then right there for when I go back backing and need to cut paracord or sharpen a stick.
Nifty knife, nice fixed blade for a front pocket
Whistle is great and easy to remove for changing the fire steel. I like that it's highly visible and while I rarely set my knife down, it happens and the orange will help me index it quickly. I moved the whistle to one of the neck carry holes and added a little leather lanyard instead so less visible for the day to day. Sharpening choils are usually missed and I'm happy to see them on the Scout. Related to sharpening, I love having the hone in the sheath, very convenient and it's done a great job so far. I eat a heavy meat diet and I did find I needed to use the hone after every meal. It's a heck of a slicer, but the dinner plate dulls the edge pretty fast on a ceramic plate. That said, my camping plates are wood or plastic so using this with ceramic plates was more just to see what happened and it's pretty normal for most knife edges to get dull when I'm essentially cutting ceramic. That said, this is my go to steak knife now. Deadly sharp and so slicey. I've been considering switching to a fixed blade for my EDC instead of a folder and the Scout does the job. It's a great blade length for most tasks and because of the great pocket retention, easy to draw and re-sheath. .
Great for camping!
Great camping knife! I have carried this knife on several camping/canoe trips and love the quality. The hex tool on the handle makes swapping the rods out incredibly easy. Flipping the hex rod around for more grip space made it great for teaching my son. Blade stays sharp but its nice to have a stone built in to touch up the edge
Great backpacking blade!
Great knife! Lightweight and easy to carry on backpacking and fishing trips. The steel does not rust easily, so I have one in my fishing bag for cutting line, etc. This knife having a fire starter, whistle, and sharpener make this a great options for backpackers to use as a survival tool. Love it and highly recommend!
My son loves this knife!
I got this knife for my son and he loves it! It’s the only knife he takes backpacking. After a lot of use over 2 trips it still has a sharp edge. He has the sheath clipped to his backpack and loves how well the sheath holds the knife, it is easy to remove and resheath.
Outdoor adventure knife
Surprisingly impressed with this knife. Has a thick blade that feels good in the hand that makes a good bushcraft knife for hiking, camping or any outdoor adventures. The ferro rod is a great addition
