The High Pines Principles

  • Intentional Functionality

Deliver tools intentionally designed for the niche usages in outdoor sports

  • Unique Innovation

Use new and creative engineering solutions for everyday backcountry problems

  • Durability

Create products from durable materials, with geometries designed for use, backed by a lifetime guarantee

Revolutionizing Multifunctionality.

Knives and blades have traditionally been one-trick-ponies when it comes to outdoor sports, designed to look useful but really are use sparingly, if at all. This is why they have been mostly relegated to paper-thin blades on multi-tools, or not carried at all. 

I believe that a tough, re-sharpenable, full handled knife is essential for both emergency use and for quality of life in the backcountry. 

All HPE knives will serve you not only as a blade, but will also incorporate useful and creative solutions for outdoor tasks. Never again will you curse the grams you allocated for a knife that lives its life tucked away in the brain of your pack.
