Brusletto Balder – Compact Norwegian Bushcraft & Outdoor Knife
The Brusletto Balder is a traditional Norwegian fixed blade knife designed for bushcraft, camping, woodcraft and everyday outdoor tasks. At just 13cm long and weighing only 28g, this compact bushcraft knife combines Scandinavian craftsmanship with practical functionality.
One of the smallest knives in the Brusletto range, the Balder is ideal for those who appreciate traditional outdoor equipment without the bulk of a full-sized survival knife.
Small Knife, Practical Outdoor Uses
Despite its miniature dimensions, the Brusletto Balder is a fully functional fixed blade knife with a 5.2cm steel blade. Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for light bushcraft activities, precision cutting, whittling, small woodcraft projects and general campsite tasks.
The short blade offers good control for detailed work, while its lightweight construction makes it a convenient addition to a camping kit, bushcraft pouch or outdoor equipment collection.
Traditional Scandinavian Design
The Balder features a beautifully shaped oiled Norwegian mountain birch handle, providing a comfortable, natural grip with a traditional appearance.
A nickel silver bolster separates the handle from the blade, adding an attractive finishing detail.
Each knife is supplied with a genuine brown cowhide leather sheath, offering protection when the knife is not in use. The combination of natural wood, steel and leather gives the Balder a timeless Scandinavian character.
