Celebrate the Service of Friends & Loved Ones with the Veterans Day Woodmans Pal – Limited Edition!

On November 11, we remember the sacrifices our friends and loved ones made in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans Day is the day to pay tribute to America’s citizen warriors, and their struggles and lives that they’ve given for our liberty and opportunities for the pursuit of happiness. To celebrate the service of these people who fought to preserve our safety and freedom, a Pennsylvania knife and tool shop is offering a limited edition Woodmans Pal—the original, handcrafted jungle-fighting knife used by the U.S. military since 1941. This useful knife is indispensable for any outdoorsman, and a great way to pay tribute to American soldiers.What is the Original Woodmans Pal?

The Woodmans Pal is ideal for anyone who needs to blaze trails, chop firewood, prune or trim branches. It’s the perfect tool for fans of the outdoors, as it’s safe enough for beginners to use. A Swiss architect, Frederick Ehrsam, an artist, engineer, manufacturer and woodsman, introduced the Woodmans Pal in 1941. He designed the Woodmans Pal as an all-in-one tool, combining the best aspects of a machete, axe and utility knife. In World War II and the Vietnam War, the U.S. army used the Woodmans Pal as a multipurpose brush-clearing tool.

What’s Different About the Special Edition Woodmans Pal?

The Woodmans Pal Military Premium, also known since 1941 as the LC-14-B, is considered the best model of the Woodmans Pal. It’s 16 ½” long, with a 5” military-style soft leather grip with steel knuckle guard—the grip stays cool in summer and warm in winter. The blade is 1/8” thick x 10 ½” high, and made of high carbon steel hardened to Rockwell C47, giving it strength for cutting, flexibility, and a sharp edge that lasts. The Woodmans Pal Military Premium features a blade that cuts branches and wood up to 1 1/2 “ in diameter with a single stroke. The unique sickle hook slices through vines, brush and briars to clear the ground.

To commemorate our Veterans, you can engrave the blade of each Woodmans Pal with the name of the war in which a veteran served, his or her name, his or her unit’s name, the date of the war or the words “I was there.”

The original Woodmans Pal features the same high carbon steel blade, but instead, includes a 6” ash hardwood handle and a nylon wrist strap. It weighs 23 oz, while the Woodmans Pal Military Premium weighs 25 oz. Both are made in America, expertly crafted and guaranteed to last for years.
