Every camper refines their kit over time, with the first few trips usually about packing everything, just in case. Then, somewhere along the way, you realise the best camping setups are not built on quantity but quality.
Your camp tools do not need to be complicated. At the core, have an essential tool that goes wherever you go: The Sterling Nighthawk Folding Pocket Knife.

And while it is perfect for the campsite, it is not limited to it. At home, on a job site, in a tackle box or beside the campfire, its crossover versatility is exactly why this knife goes wherever you go.

Sterling Nighthawk in a Day
Step 1: Set up with confidence
Arrive at camp and get straight to work. Trim guy ropes to size, clean up frayed cord and slice through packaging as you unpack your gear. The tough 5CR13 stainless steel blade is built to handle real outdoor use, while the premium black oxide finish adds an extra layer of durability when you are working around dust, dirt and damp conditions. From the first cut, the Nighthawk keeps your setup neat and secure.
Step 2: Prep real camp meals
Dinner at camp is rarely just one quick cut. You are slicing sausages for the grill, dicing onions on a camp table, trimming fat from a steak or filleting the day’s catch by the water. The 80mm drop point blade gives you control and precision, making detailed cuts easier and safer on uneven outdoor surfaces. The smooth edge delivers clean slices, while the serrated section powers through tougher materials like fish skin, gristle or thick vegetable skins. It is the versatility you genuinely notice when cooking outdoors.
Step 3: Ready when you move
Camping rarely keeps you in one place. Whether you are heading down to the jetty, walking a trail or moving around camp, the lightweight aluminium handle keeps the knife easy to carry without weighing you down. Custom-designed grip grooves enhance comfort and control, while the belt clip keeps it secure and accessible when needed quickly.
Step 4: Keep it simple at pack down
When it is time to pack up, the same stainless-steel blade that helped set up camp helps wrap it up. Cut down rope, break down boxes and tidy loose ends before you hit the road. With its durable construction and protective black oxide finish, the Nighthawk is ready for repeat use, trip after trip. Essential cutting tasks are covered, without unnecessary bulk in your kit.
The result
This is what a dream camping run looks like. One dependable knife that handles real camp moments and earns its place in your rotation, going wherever you go. The Nighthawk Folding Pocket Knife’s materials, construction and thoughtful features are built around everyday reliability, not occasional use.
In the end, building your dream camping kit is not about adding more. It is about choosing tools that prove themselves again and again.
