The Battle Horse Battlelore is one of the deepest lineups in the Battle Horse Knives catalog: a 4.625 inch scandi ground blade on 0.125 inch stock, 9.375 inches overall, with a fine sharp tip for detail work in tight corners and enough length to baton through real chunks of wood. It is the do-everything camp knife of the family.
The handle carries a pronounced belly that fills the palm and limits movement in the hand during drilling, feather sticking, and long whittling sessions, wearing the smooth BHK finish that stays comfortable through hours of camp chores. Micarta scales come in natural, green, and black, the individually numbered stabilized maple handles make each of those knives a one of one, and every Battlelore ships in a brown leather sheath, handmade in Cambridge, Ohio. If you want more blade for heavier chopping, the Battle Horse Altitude runs the same scandi philosophy at 5.5 inches.
Most of the line runs O1 tool steel, the carbon steel the brand is known for: it takes a keen edge, strops back fast in the field, and rewards a little oil with decades of service. The CPM-154 versions trade that patina for a stainless powder steel that shrugs off wet weather and holds an edge through long trips with less upkeep. Our knife steel comparison guide breaks the two down side by side, and either way the scandi grind keeps the Battlelore one of the easiest bushcraft knives to maintain freehand.
