Sustainability is at the core of TB Outdoor's DNA. A field knife is an investment designed to last for decades. However, intensive use in hostile environments or operational missions can lead to natural wear and tear of certain components or the loss of small accessories. Our spare parts and after-sales service store allows you to restore the integrity of your equipment without having to replace it entirely. By choosing certified "Made in France" components, you ensure the maintenance of cutting performance, the security of locking mechanisms, and the original ergonomics of your tools.

- Precision screws: Scale screws, blade pivots, and standoffs to maintain structural rigidity.
- Carrying systems: High-strength steel pocket clips and belt loops for sheaths.
- Replacement accessories: Spoons and forks for Bivouac® and Baroudeur® models, ensuring a complete camping kit.

Each component is manufactured with the same high standards as the finished product, using rigorously selected steels and polymers.
How to extend the lifespan of your outdoor equipment?
Regular maintenance is key to avoiding breakdowns during an expedition. Here are three simple steps recommended by our cutlery experts:
- Post-use cleaning: Remove organic residues after each use to prevent corrosion.
- Pivot lubrication: A drop of technical oil on the blade's pivot ensures optimal opening fluidity.
- Preventive tightening: Periodically check the tightness of the screws, especially if you use your knife for striking or batoning tasks.
If a part shows excessive play or deformation, contact our customer service to identify the exact reference needed for your model.

Frequently asked questions about after-sales service and spare parts
How do I identify my knife model to choose the right part?
