The NKD Hudson 125 is a classic camping and chopping knife. The NKD take on this model in 1095 steel is a little slimmer than the original Hudson Bay knife, which allows for improved wood working and field cocking tasks.

Featuring a heavy belt loop as its only accessory the sheath has but one job, keep your knife safe. Finished in a classical Cognac brown it is as stylish as the Forester knife itself.

The Hudson Bay Camp knife was the first knife in history to be called a "camp knife". The knife dates back to the pre-colonial days of the 1700s. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was the dominant import-export company of early North America. The colonials, frontiersmen and trappers began to ask the trading company for a large knife to be used around base camp for general camp use.

1095 steel is well-regarded for its high carbon content, which gives it a hardness that contributes to outstanding edge retention. This means that knives made from 1095 steel can maintain a sharp edge for an extended period between sharpenings.

The knife blade has gone through a cold blacking finish process, giving it an appealing black, smooth satin finish and an improving corrosion resistance.
