TRUE Introduces PRIMALFORGE® Field Chef Knife for Camp Cooking and Outdoor Meal Prep

Fort Worth, Texas (September 22, 2026) – Outdoor cooking equipment often receives considerable attention. Yet one essential tool is frequently overlooked: a dedicated culinary knife designed for field food preparation. Portable cooking gear should be a key component of any camping, overlanding, or tailgating setup, and a versatile chef-style knife can significantly improve meal preparation outdoors. While many outdoor enthusiasts rely on standard pocket knives for food prep, the demands of slicing, chopping, and ingredient preparation are best served by a tool designed expressly for culinary tasks.

TRUE addresses those needs with the new PRIMALFORGE® Field Chef Knife, a folding chef knife that combines full-size cutting performance with compact portability. Designed for outdoor cooking enthusiasts who demand both convenience and capability, the Field Chef delivers the precision and control expected from a traditional chef’s knife in a travel-friendly format. Whether preparing meals at a campsite, grilling at a tailgate, or cooking at a remote destination, the Field Chef provides dependable performance for a wide range of culinary tasks.

At the heart of the PRIMAL FORGE Field Chef Knife is a premium 5Cr15MoV stainless steel blade engineered to provide excellent edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen and maintain. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it well-suited for outdoor environments where exposure to moisture, food acids, and changing weather conditions is common. A durable stonewash finish helps conceal scratches and signs of wear, preserving the knife’s appearance through years of use on camp tables, cutting boards, and other rugged food-preparation surfaces.

The handle is crafted from dense, naturally water-resistant monzo wood, combining durability with a warm, comfortable grip. A secure liner-lock mechanism keeps the blade firmly in place during use, providing stability and confidence when slicing meats, chopping vegetables, or preparing ingredients in the field.

When food preparation is complete, the folding design reduces the knife to a compact, packable size that stores easily in a cooking kit, backpack, vehicle drawer, or gear bag. An included paracord lanyard and belt-ready carrying pouch further enhance portability and accessibility.

Combining artisanal styling with practical field performance, the PRIMAL FORGE Field Chef Knife bridges the gap between outdoor gear and kitchen cutlery. From campsite meal preparation and overlanding adventures to backyard cookouts and tailgate gatherings, it delivers the cutting performance of a traditional chef knife wherever great meals are prepared.
