Now, James Beckwourth was a fascinating figure in American history. He was born into slavery in Virginia in 1798, but he eventually escaped slavery and made his way west. He lived among several Native American tribes and became a skilled trader, interpreter, and guide. He was also one of the few African Americans to have played a major role in the western expansion of the United States.

Beckwourth was known for his bravery, resourcefulness, and knowledge of the land. He was a true pioneer, and his contributions to the westward expansion of the United States are immeasurable. That's why we named this knife after him - it embodies the same spirit of adventure, resilience, and strength that Beckwourth himself embodied.

With its 14C28N steel blade and canvas Micarta handle, the Beckwourth knife is an ideal tool for adventurers and outdoorsmen alike. The knife comes with a Kydex sheath and sturdy clip, providing comfortable bag carry or scout carry options.Whether you're exploring the wilderness or just need a reliable knife for everyday use, the Beckwourth knife is a great choice. So honor the legacy of James Beckwourth and pick up a Beckwourth knife today.

Care Instructions

KNIVES ARE DESIGNED FOR CUTTING
Don’t throw, pound, pry or chop with a knife. It’s not safe and if you damage the knife using it that way, it may void the warranty. Strong impact or twisting can also damage your knife or worse, cause an injury. If you have a locking blade, always check that the locking mechanism is in working order before you use it.

Store your knife in a dry place, out of the sheath. Lightly wipe the blade with clean oil two to three times a year to keep rust from starting. You may need to oil more often if you live near water.  Cleaning and caring for your knife will maintain performance and enhance the life your knife.

If you find the metal has a blue, grey or black color, it is a sign of oxidation and a precursor of rust.  Stainless steel does not discolor easily. If you do notice a change in the color of the metal, clean it immediately. It’s a sign of rust waiting to happen. 

 Discoloration is common to non-stainless steel. But regular cleaning will keep the metal from rusting.
