Built for the Real-World Grind

Ideal for campers, field operators, bushcrafters, or knife collectors who demand compact power, the Skallywag Mantis delivers where it matters. Use it to slice through packaging, baton kindling, prep food at the firepit, or stash it in your go-bag for emergencies — it’s versatile, dependable, and built to stand out.

Unlike oversized cleavers meant for the kitchen, the Mantis is stripped down for the field, where portability and durability rule. Its shorter blade offers better control and maneuverability, especially in tight quarters or hard-to-reach areas.
