Tools & Knives

Anyone who spends time outdoors needs the right tools. Our wide range of tools and knives for outdoor use includes everything you need for splitting logs, making fires, cutting, carving, building, and repairing—from Victorinox knives to axes.

Tools & knives for various activities

Some tools are versatile and suitable for many different applications. Others are specialized, but all the better at what they do. We offer a wide selection for many different outdoor activities.

  • Bushcraft: The art of survival in the wilderness requires reliable tools, such as a sturdy bushcraft knife and a handy saw.
  • Making fire: In the Transa range, you will find a large selection of lighters, fire starters, and other tools to light a cozy, warming fire.
  • Outdoor cooking: Peeling vegetables, cutting meat, and opening a bottle of wine is easy with the Opinel cooking set, for example.
  • Hiking & camping: Even for light outdoor activities, it can't hurt to have some tools with you. Pocket knives or multi-tools are always useful. A light axe is also suitable for hammering tent pegs into the ground.

Finding the right tools

With so much variety, it's not easy to decide. On the other hand, your luggage space is limited, so you should focus on what you really need. That's why we've put together a few tips on when you might need which tools.

  • Knives: A knife is part of your basic equipment. Fixed knives are more stable, while folding knives are easier to pack. Depending on the design, there may also be restrictions under weapons laws.
  • Axes and hatchets: An axe is useful for building and making fire. Pay attention to the weight; smaller, lighter models are ideal for hiking.
  • Multitools & pocket knives: These versatile little tools offer many functions, including a corkscrew, but are often not as robust as bushcraft knives.
  • Shovels & saws: You will need tools like these if you are staying in the wilderness for a longer period of time and, for example, building your own shelter.
  • Signaling devices: It may be necessary to quickly draw attention to yourself. Loud and bright signaling devices are helpful in such cases.

Practical tips for buying knives and tools

When buying tools and knives, the material plays an important role. Plastic handles are lighter and fit comfortably in the hand. Wood is visually appealing and has a long tradition. Blades come in different qualities, from stainless steel to harder, but more rust-sensitive types of steel. Last but not least, you need to sharpen your knives regularly. We offer the right tool accessories for this.
