Voyageur Gen 2 – Böhler K329
The Voyageur Gen 2 draws its inspiration from the legendary voyageurs of the 18th and 19th centuries—fearless explorers and traders who navigated the lakes and rivers of North America, often carrying their canoes across unforgiving terrain. These men relied on knives that were portable, durable, and versatile enough to serve them through months-long expeditions.
This modern interpretation of the classic French trade knife features a 5.5-inch, 4 mm thick blade crafted from Böhler K329 steel, renowned for its outstanding toughness and edge retention. The saber grind with a secondary convex edge delivers excellent slicing performance while maintaining the strength required for demanding tasks. A crisp 90-degree spine provides the perfect edge for scraping tinder or striking a ferro rod, making it an indispensable companion for outdoor adventures.
The contoured, ergonomic handle offers exceptional comfort and control in multiple grips—including hammer, pinch, reverse, and chest lever—ensuring adaptability in any situation. Tough, versatile, and steeped in heritage, the Voyageur Gen 2 is a true jack-of-all-trades you can depend on in the field.
