PNWBUSHCRAFT builds rugged waxed canvas gear the old way: handcrafted in a small family shop in Washington State, one piece at a time, with the intent that you'll hand it down someday. For over a dozen years, Heather, Todd, Linda, and Amanda have been turning Martexin waxed canvas and reclaimed vintage textiles into heirloom outdoor gear respected across the bushcraft community, and every piece carries the double-stitched, reinforced construction that Pacific Northwest weather demands.
The Maple Waxed Canvas Pocketknife Roll Up, now in its V2.0 form, is the piece knife collectors have been asking for: fifteen pockets across a 17 by 10 inch roll, with eleven 2-inch slots, three 2.5-inch slots, and a single 1-inch pocket for the smallest piece in your rotation. Each pocket is sewn off-center from its opposite so knives nest against each other when the roll is closed, maximizing capacity without blades touching. The 10.1 oz waxed canvas body is reinforced with extra stitching at every stress point, sewn throughout with heavy-duty outdoor thread, and cinched closed with a Kodiak leather lace. Whether it protects a drawer of traditional knives in a safe or travels to a knife show, it's built for decades of rolling and unrolling.
The EDC Zipper Pouch shows the daily-carry side of the PNWBUSHCRAFT workshop, sewn from the same Martexin waxed canvas in two-tone brown and green or green and black. It's sized for the small essentials, sharpening stones, fire kit, first-aid basics, and it pairs naturally with the rest of our bushcraft kit. The family's habit of giving beautiful old textiles a second working life runs through everything they build, keeping material out of landfills and history in your pack.
The waxed canvas on every PNWBUSHCRAFT piece uses Martexin Original Wax, a finish process dating to the 1800s that creates lifelong weather resistance and develops a one-of-a-kind patina with use. Care is simple: wipe or hose it down, skip the soap, and never machine wash. No two pieces are exactly alike, and that's the point. This is gear made by hand, made to last, and made to be passed on.
