The Battle Horse Banshee comes out of the Field and Steel collaboration between Battle Horse Knives and bushcraft expert Joe Price: an American built puukko pattern in O1 tool steel, with 4.875 inches of scandi ground cutting edge on 0.1875 inch stock at 9.1875 inches overall.
Nearly five inches of edge over a 4.3 inch handle gives the Banshee the reach for splitting kindling and processing game, while the scandi grind keeps wood carving controlled, and O1 strops back to sharp in the field without stones; our knife steel comparison guide covers why the bushcraft crowd keeps choosing the tool steel over stainless. Black micarta scales with orange liners and brass pins carry the Field and Steel signature look, the knife weighs in at 10.05 ounces, ships in a black leather sheath, and is handmade in Cambridge, Ohio. If the Banshee runs bigger than you like to carry, the Battle Horse Renegade is Joe Price's compact take on the same idea, the little sister to this blade.
