2025 Shed Knives Tuatara: The Ultimate Fixed Blade for Outdoor Enthusiasts | THE SHED KNIVES BLOG #84
Welcome back to The Shed Knives Blog for edition #84. If you’re new here, welcome! Today, we’re diving deep into the 2025 Shed Knives Tuatara, a knife that’s built for the outdoors, bushcraft, and field applications. If you’re looking for a high-quality fixed blade that can handle practically anything you throw at it (or throw the knife at), keep reading.
The Tuatara: A Legacy of Strength and Performance
The Tuatara isn’t just another fixed blade out on the market - I think we've had enough of those. It’s a statement of durability, performance, and American craftsmanship. Designed for the toughest conditions, the 2025 Tuatara features some serious upgrades compared to previous model years that make it one of the best tools you can carry in the field.
STEEL: 154CM for Maximum Performance
When it comes to choosing a blade steel for a tough fiel knife, like the Tuatara, 154CM is an excellent choice for a multitude of reasons. The Tuatara isn't just made with 154CM steel, it's made with about a 1/4" thick piece of 154CM. Why? Having such a thick piece of a tough material just adds to the performance, balance, and overall functionality. Now, I picked 154CM thanks to the solid edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It's basically carbon steel, just without the high chance of rust.
Why 154CM:
-
Edge Retention: Spend less time sharpening and more time using your knife. When you do need to sharpen it, it'll still be easier than S35VN.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Whether you’re in the rain, mud, or saltwater, the Tuatara holds up much better than common steels like 1095HC.
-
Toughness: Built to withstand hard use, batoning, and survival situations.
This steel makes the Tuatara a low-maintenance and a high-performance blade that you can rely on in the field.
Handle: G-10 Scales
The 2025 Tuatara features a scaled up handle from the Sheepsfoot. This was done because a lot of people liked the style and feel of the Sheepsfoot, but they wanted it to be increased in size. The handle is made from no other than 100% USA Made G-10, a material known for its incredible ability to stay strong in just about any weather or environment you will face. Available in 6 colors, this handle not only looks great but performs above the rest.
A big issue many knife enthusiasts have with handle material is that it just doesn't hold up. Steel or titanium handles get slippery, plastic feels cheap, wood soaks up water leading to problems, and 99% of handles just not meeting the true standard of knife enthusiasts. With G-10, users now have a great feel, durable handles, temperature proof, and they won't soak up water. G-10 obviously is the better choice for how many benefits it has, especially on a field knife like the 2025 Tuatara.
Key features:
-
Non-slip grip, even in wet or muddy conditions
-
Resistant to extreme temperatures and liquids
-
Comfortable contouring for all-day use
A good knife handle shouldn’t cause fatigue or discomfort, and the Tuatara’s design ensures maximum comfort and control during extended use.
The Sheath. It's nylon, right?
WRONG! Shed Knives only uses 100% USA Made Kydex sheaths. A great fixed blade is only as good as its sheath, and the Tuatara comes with a sheath made of genuine Kydex. Kydex is fantastic since you can get it messy, cover it in mud, and it won't change the material. It can then be cleaned off with water and you're back to normal.
Why a Kydex sheath?
-
Quick deployment and secure retention
-
Multiple carry options (belt, pack, or MOLLE system)
-
Lightweight and rugged compared to leather
This sheath ensures that your Tuatara is always within reach and ready for action.
What Can You Use the Tuatara For?
This knife isn’t just a collector’s piece, and was never meant to be. The Tuatara is a true field knife for us bushcraft and camping enthusiasts. It's meant to be used to setup camp, build a shelter, chop firewood, and defend your territory.
Specific use cases for the Tuatara:
- Firewood splitting & batoning
- Shelter building (cutting rope, chopping posts)
- Glass breaker
- Field dressing & processing game
- Self-defense
- Emergency shovel
- Striker for a ferro rod
