Welcome back to The Shed Knives Blog for edition #92! If you’re new here, welcome to the community. Today we’re diving into one of the most anticipated returns in our lineup: the 2026 Skur. For years, the Skur has dominated the top 1 and 2 best-seller positions at Shed Knives, and this year’s model is built to take its place at the top once again.

If you spend time camping, hiking, bushcrafting, or you simply love carrying a reliable fixed blade every day (as I certainly do), then you already know something: your knife can’t fail. The Skur has earned its reputation because it doesn’t. It delivers consistency, confidence, and performance in a compact, easy-to-carry package - and the all new 2026 model elevates every one of those strengths.

Whether you’re here to upgrade your gear, learn what’s new, or make your first jump into the Shed Knives lineup, this breakdown will show you exactly why the 2026 Skur is already becoming the go-to knife of the new year.

What Is the Skur? A Legacy of Compact Reliability.

“Skur” is Norwegian for “Shed,” pronounced “skyour.” It’s a name that reflects our roots, but more importantly, it’s a name recognized across campsites, rucksacks, and everyday carry belts around the world.

The Skur earned its popularity by delivering one thing better than anything else in its size class: true fixed-blade capability in a compact footprint.

With an overall length of 7.25", a 3.1680" cutting edge, and a precision-ground, flat saber grind, 154-CM blade, the 2026 Skur brings a punch that most small fixed blades can’t match. It’s large enough for real work, like carving, processing kindling, food prep, rope cutting, bushcraft tasks, while compact enough to disappear on your belt or pack.

If you’re looking for a knife that’s small enough to carry daily, strong enough to rely on under pressure, and built with zero compromise anywhere on the design… this is it.

What’s New on the 2026 Skur?

Everything that made the Skur a best-seller remains — but upgraded with the newest features across the entire 2026 Shed Knives Collection.

1. CNC-Milled Kydex Sheath (Black)

Every 2026 Skur includes a precision-fitted black Kydex sheath. This sheath locks the knife in with a positive “click,” giving you secure retention without worrying about the blade cutting through or slipping out. Kydex outperforms leather or nylon in wet, cold, and high-impact environments, and it stays consistent where natural materials fail.

This is the carry system serious outdoorsmen rely on.

2. Improved G-10 Scales

The 2026 Skur features removable, replaceable G-10 scales secured with three pairs of matte-black oxide coated Allen screws. G-10 is one of the most dependable handle materials on the planet — strong, grippy, heat-resistant, and designed for real use.

Handle colors available:
Skur Orange, Atlantic Blue, Coyote Tan

You can swap them, tighten them, clean under them — everything is designed with real field serviceability in mind.

3. Upgraded Ergonomics

The handle contours, scale thickness, and balance point have been refined for 2026. The Skur sits perfectly in-hand with gloves or bare hands, wet or dry. The jimping is cut at 1/8" for better thumb traction, and the sharpening choil provides full control when maintaining your edge.

4. Enhanced Lanyard Hole Design

The triangular lanyard hole has soft internal corners to prevent rope wear, making it ideal for attaching to gear, D-rings, or as a retention point when working over water or uneven terrain.

5. Full USA Manufacturing

The 2026 Skur is crafted in Delaware, USA with 100% USA-made materials. Every cut, grind, edge, screw, and sheath is built right here under the strictest standards we hold as a company.

Why Outdoorsmen Love the Skur

If you look at the belts of experienced bushcrafters, hunters, hikers, and EDC enthusiasts, you’ll notice something in common: they carry a knife they can trust. The Skur built that trust over years of consistent real-world performance.

Here’s why it continues to earn that spot:

Compact but Capable

A lot of small fixed blades look good on paper but choke in real use. The Skur delivers precision cutting, reliable piercing strength, and a spine thick enough (0.220–0.227") to handle demanding outdoor tasks.

Confidence in Hand

The G-10 scales, ergonomic shaping, and jimping give you grip security in all conditions — rain, sweat, mud, cold, or gloves.

154-CM = Proven Performance

154-CM is a steel known for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. For a knife of this size, the steel selection is a major factor in why the Skur stays sharp and keeps biting through tough materials longer.

Reliable Carry System

The black Kydex sheath offers consistent retention, no matter the weather or environment. Whether you’re scrambling up rocks, crouched near a fire, or cutting cordage at camp, the knife stays exactly where you want it.

Where the 2026 Skur Excels (Real-Use Scenarios)

1. Camp Craft & Bushcraft Tasks

Feather sticks, fire prep, notching, carving, processing bark — the Skur handles all of it smoothly due to its edge geometry and spine stability.

2. Hiking, Backpacking & Everyday Carry

Its size makes it an ideal EDC fixed blade. Light, compact, and fast to deploy.

3. Water, Weather & Harsh Environments

G-10 + Kydex + 154-CM = a setup that doesn’t care if you’re in humidity, cold wind, rain, or mud.

4. Small Game & Field Tasks

The flat grind and sharp point allow controlled cuts for processing food or field tasks without being cumbersome.

5. Urban or Work Utility

Cutting rope, opening boxes, slicing straps, general shop tasks — the Skur excels as an everyday shop knife just as much as an outdoor companion.
