You're heading off into the untamed wilderness. Days from civilization, you may have to fend off bears or cougars, or fell a sapling to fuel the evening's fire. Or maybe you're just glamping a quarter mile from the nearest ranger station with a bundle of firewood and a pack of steaks to sear. Either way, you'll need some tools. Sharp tools. Knives.

And what do you know, Buck Knives has a trio of handsome crimson blades ready to help you chop, slice, and hack through any camping obstacle in your way. Buck's Compadre Series is composed of three blades: a camp knife, a wood-working tool, and a hatchet. All three have a walnut-dymondwood handle and are treated with a red powdercoat finish that provides corrosion resistance and rugged style.

The 104 model camp knife weighs about 7 ounces and is 9.5-inches long, with a 5160 steel blade. For the lumberjack, the 108 Chopping Froe features a 9.5-inch steel blade designed for splitting wood and clearing brush. And the hatchet features an ergonomic handle design, a 5160 steel head, and comes in its own leather sheath. The latter two both weigh just under two pounds.

Priced at $80, $160, and $120, respectively, the Compadre Series knives will go on sale in 2015, so plan your spring adventures accordingly.
