Find Your Size
European sizes are based on your child’s height in centimeters. Because kids of the same age can be different sizes, height is the best guide for fit.
Enter your child’s height in inches, and we’ll show the closest CM size range. This correlates to the first number in the size option. ie: 98 or 122. If CM sizing is not provided, simply choose the age provided.
💡 Tip: These are general guidelines. Always check specific brand size charts when possible, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
Product Description
The Huckleberry Explorer Knife by Kikkerland is a scout-style knife inspired by a traditional Swedish design, with a sheath that clips onto a belt or bag strap and a bright red handle top that is easy to spot if it drops in the grass.
It is a real knife for real outdoor skills—whittling, camp tasks, and learning to handle a blade with care—made from stainless steel and FSC-certified beechwood, and best used alongside an adult.
Why Parents Love It
- Classic scout design: Inspired by the traditional Swedish scout knife.
- Sheath included: Attaches to a belt or bag strap so the knife stays covered and close at hand.
- Easy to find: The red handle top stands out if it is set down or dropped in the grass.
- Natural materials: Stainless steel with an FSC-certified beechwood handle.
- A milestone tool: A real knife marks a real step in outdoor independence.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
Knife skills are one of the oldest outdoor lessons there is: how to carry a blade, how to cut away from your body, how to sit with space around you, and how to put it back in its sheath when you are done. This knife is sized for that learning, with a grown-up showing the way.
It belongs on the belt at forest school, at camp, or on the back porch with a stick to whittle—wherever kids are ready to practice care, focus, and responsibility.
Things to Know
- A real knife: This is a working blade, not a toy. Use with adult supervision and teach safe knife handling before first use.
- Age: Kikkerland does not list an age range. Decide based on your child's experience and maturity.
- Store sheathed: Keep the knife in its sheath when it is not in use.
