#015// a note from Marc

The first Rushbrooke website release is now behind us.

To everybody who managed to secure a knife, thank you. To those who missed out, I appreciate the support all the same. We’re still limited in how many knives we can produce while building the company properly, and truthfully I didn’t expect them to go quite as quickly as they did.

Rushbrooke was never started simply to sell knives.

The idea was straightforward: build practical hunting knives here in England, designed by somebody who actually uses them in the field.

For years, British hunters and outdoorsmen have relied on equipment from overseas. A lot of it is adequate. I’ve used plenty of it myself. But I also believe Britain deserves brands of its own - companies building tools for our fields, our traditions, and the way we actually use them.

I’ve spent years making custom knives, and I wanted to take that same experience and put it into working tools people could actually carry and use every season without treating them like collector’s pieces.

That became Rushbrooke.

Everything we make is built around practical use. Knives designed to be carried, used hard, sharpened easily, and relied upon season after season.

No gimmicks. No pretending they’re something they’re not.

Just honest tools, made here in England by an actual knife maker.

The response to these first releases, both at The Stalking Show and online this weekend, has been a huge encouragement. More than anything, it’s shown me there are still plenty of people who value good design, practical equipment, and products made properly by people who stand behind them.

We’re still right at the beginning.

The Field and Pack Knives are only the first step, and there’s a lot more planned for the future.

If you missed out this time, please stick around.

More knives are already in the works.
