Australian Heritage Smatchet Pattern

Every knife is 100% handmade. Every part of it is made by hand, not mass produced, not machine perfect. Variations in finish, lines, and shape are normal and part of the character of a genuine handmade knife. BTK knives are my designs, handmade to my specs and hand finished in Australia with a dull working polish, built for use.

Intended Use:
This knife is designed for lawful hunting, camping and bush use only. It is not intended for combat or unlawful activity. Buyers are responsible for complying with their local laws.

This is my take on the World War II Smatchet, built as a proper working knife - not a display piece.

It features a 30cm blade made from 1095 high carbon steel, known for its toughness and ability to hold a sharp edge. It’s sharpened on one side with a strong spine, giving it solid cutting power and durability.

The 13cm wooden handle feels natural in the hand and gives a firm grip. Simple, traditional and solid.

Total weight is 645g including the sheath, so it has some real presence without being over the top.

It comes with a 100% genuine leather sheath that suits the blade and holds it securely.

NOTE: Sheath colour may differ from the picture depending on available dyes at the time of production.

Steel Care:
This knife is made from 1095 high carbon steel. That means it’s tough and holds a great edge, but like all high carbon steels, it needs basic maintenance. Keep it lightly oiled to prevent rust. After use - especially after hunting or being outdoors - just wipe it down and give it a light spray of WD-40 or another quality oil. A quick wipe with an oiled rag every now and then will keep it in good condition.

This is a historic military design made to be used.
Suitable for hunting, camping and general field use.

Built properly.
