Desert Nomad Knife (Osage scales)
Desert Nomad Knife The Desert Nomad pays homage to the Basketmaker II ancestors, nomadic hunter-gatherers who wandered the deserts and carved their lives from stone, wood, and fire. Just like the ancient Sand Dune Cave knife that inspired it, this blade is built for resilience, simplicity, and survival.
Crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, the Desert Nomad features a full tang for unmatched strength and stability. The 3-inch convex edge blade excels at carving, slicing, and general camp use, while the 90-degree spine throws sparks with ease from a ferro-rod. Its centered tip makes starting holes for bow-drill and hand-drill fire effortless,keeping you in touch with the oldest of survival skills.
A 4-inch handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, giving you control whether you’re shaping wood, processing tinder, or preparing food. Each knife comes with a handmade leather sheath, blending rugged function with timeless style, so you’re always ready to carry a piece of ancestral tradition into the wild.
The Desert Nomad isn’t just a knife, it’s a tool that connects you to the desert wanderers who came before us, and a companion for your own journeys off the beaten path.
