Buckeye
The Buckeye is the knife Battle Horse Knives named for home, and it may be the closest thing the Cambridge, Ohio shop makes to one knife that does it all. The blade splits the difference between the bush tool and bushlore profiles: a drop point that keeps its tip riding just high enough to pierce like a centered point, while holding a deep belly sweep for skinning and slicing, ground saber high so it cuts well without giving up spine strength.
Why the Battle Horse Buckeye Works as One Knife
The details are where the design thinking shows. The edge stops about a quarter inch short of the integral guard, so you can choke up onto the ricasso for fine tip work without laying a finger over sharpened steel, and the belly leaves real sweep for game work between the wood chores. At 9.5 inches overall on 5/32 stock, the Buckeye carries mid pack in the bushcraft weight class: stout enough to pry fatwood and baton kindling, light enough at 8.4 ounces to forget on the belt until it is needed. When the chore list turns to serious splitting, that is Big Jay territory; the Buckeye is the one you carry the other fifty weeks of the year. Handles run matte micarta in natural, green, and black plus individually numbered stabilized maple, no two alike, with a brown leather sheath on every knife, handmade in the USA.
