The Bush Craft Ultra has an overall length of 9" with a 4-1/6" flat ground, brush finished, fixed drop/skinner blade shape. The blade is made of 7Cr17MoV stainless steel and features ant-skid grooves on the spine.

Featuring an carbide fire starter, the Bush Craft Ignite knife is available in two models — one with a checkered cocobolo wood handle and the other with a black G-10 handle. Both include a fixed drop point blade made of 7Cr17MoV stainless steel and showcase the Browning Buckmark logo laser engraved in the handle. The cocobolo model has a polished stainless bolster and butt cap. The G-10 model includes a partially serrated blade edge and a brushed stainless bolster and butt cap. Both models have an overall length of 8-7/8" with a 4-1/4" blade. A top grain leather sheath with a pocket for the fire starter is included. Retail price for each knive is $59.99.
Designed for heavy-duty work around a campsite, the Bush Craft Camp knife is built tough with full-tang construction. The 9-1/16" flat ground blade is made of 440 stainless steel and the overall length of the knife is 15". The blade is a fixed semi-bolo design with a titanium finish. An injection-molded, heavily checkered, polymer handle affords a sure grip. The knife has a lanyard eyelet and comes with a rugged reinforced nylon belt sheath with a snapped retaining strap.

The Bush Craft Knife/Light Combo features a sharp fixed blade knife and a handy pen light that fits securely into a special sleeve in the reinforced nylon belt sheath.
