The 2023 Tuatara: Is THIS The Next Best Fixed Blade? | THE SHED KNIVES BLOG #24

Welcome back to The Shed Knives Blog! In this edition, we're thrilled to bring you an in-depth look at the highly anticipated 2023 Shed Knives Tuatara. With its impressive design and versatile features, the Tuatara aims to outshine its predecessor and become the next best fixed blade in the market. Featured on Beez Blades and a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, this knife promises durability, functionality, and style. Join us as we explore the key aspects that make the 2023 Tuatara a worthy addition to your wilderness survival gear and a must-have tool for all of your outdoor adventures.

Design and Functionality

The Tuatara has gained a reputation as an exceptional camp knife, capable of handling tough tasks and excelling in a variety of outdoor scenarios. Its slanted tip provides a strong yet sharp point, ideal for tasks such as skinning game, building shelters, and cutting rope. The slightly larger handle compared to the 2023 Sheepsfoot enhances control during challenging tasks, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip even in demanding conditions.

One notable feature of the Tuatara is its replaceable/removable G-10 handle. With the use of a flat or Phillips bit screwdriver, the three screws can be easily removed, allowing for customization and handle replacement. Additionally, the screws can be used to attach the clip to the Kydex sheath, providing versatility in carrying options. The G-10 handle is designed to stay firmly attached, even without the middle screw if necessary.

Kydex Sheath and Additional Features

The Tuatara comes with a durable black Kydex sheath, offering several advantages over traditional leather and nylon sheaths. The Kydex material securely holds the knife in place, eliminating concerns of accidental cuts or the knife falling out. Its easy-to-clean properties make it a practical choice for outdoor adventures—simply wash it with soap and water, ensuring the inside is thoroughly dried with compressed air before reinserting the knife.

The Tuatara boasts additional features that enhance its functionality and user experience. Jimping on the spine of the knife provides added grip and control, ensuring a secure hold in any situation. The sharpening choil, with its distinct gap between the blade and handle, enables precise and complete blade sharpening, extending the life of the knife. Furthermore, the half-inch lanyard hole allows for versatile attachment options, making it easy to secure the Tuatara to various gear and equipment.

Specifications and Options

The Shed Knives Tuatara is proudly manufactured in Delaware, United States, the home of Shed Knives since 2018. With an overall length of 10 inches and a blade length of 4.25 inches, the Tuatara strikes a balance between versatility and maneuverability.
