Knives
Joker makes fixed-blade and folding knives for outdoor, sporting and hunting use. The Albacete-based maker has worked as a knife artisan, manufacturer and distributor since 1987, combining hand production with modern technology. Its range spans compact neck knives, bushcraft and survival designs, and hunting knives, with materials and blade profiles varying by model.
The Ember is a full-tang bushcraft knife with a Scandi grind, while Avispa is a more compact neck-knife design. Nomad models offer a larger format for bushcraft and survival tasks. These families cover different needs, from compact outdoor cutting to camp and field work.

Choosing a Joker knife
The Avispa is the compact option among these core models. Its 8 cm blade and neck-knife format suit light outdoor cutting and easy carry. The Ember has a 10.5 cm blade and full-tang construction, with the blade steel running through the handle for a continuous build. Its Scandi grind, a broad bevel that meets the cutting edge, is designed for controlled cuts in wood and other camp tasks. The larger Nomad has a 12.7 cm blade and is listed for bushcraft and survival use, giving more blade length for heavier outdoor work.
Materials and configurations
Joker lists Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel for the Ember and Avispa models described here. The Ember is offered with different handle materials, including walnut and curly birch; Avispa configurations also vary, with options such as walnut, curly birch and canvas Micarta. Nomad versions differ by configuration, so check the individual product details for the specific materials and included accessories. Selected models or configurations include a firesteel with the sheath, while others do not. The same model name can therefore cover meaningful differences in handle, grind or package.
Joker also makes hunting and sporting knives, as well as folding knives. Its company history is rooted in Albacete, Spain, where it says it has manufactured and distributed knives since 1987. The maker describes its production as combining handcraft with modern technology. Across the range, blade length, steel, handle material and construction are model-specific, so comparing the individual specifications helps match a knife to the intended cutting tasks.
