The Bur Oak Big Camper #228, a standout in Grebec Knives’ Florida Series, is handcrafted by Greg for durability and performance. This robust knife features a 5” drop-point blade, crafted from 5/32” 1095 high carbon steel with a brushed finish. Consequently, the Bur Oak Big Camper excels in heavy-duty tasks like camping or bushcraft. Measuring 9 1/2” overall with a 1 9/16” wide blade, it offers a commanding presence and reliable functionality for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Unique Handle
The handle, made from stabilized Florida Burr Oak, comes from a neighbor’s tree that once crowded their driveway. In a true community exchange, we traded a knife for large wood pieces, which Greg carefully cut and stabilized for crafting. You can watch this process in our YouTube Short, Cutting Bur Oak. Additionally, the handle features a stabilized Florida Spalted Pecan bolster, paired with vibrant red, white, and blue G10 spacers and sturdy mild steel pins. As a result, the Bur Oak Big Camper boasts a bold, patriotic aesthetic that stands out. Learn more about the Bur Oak wood Greg uses in our Florida Wood Series Post. For safe carry, the knife includes a custom-made, hand-cut, and dyed leather strap sheath.
