Fun fact: we actually have weaker jaws than our ancestors in the 1800s and before. Why? Because we are not strengthening our jaws on non-bite sized foods. Everything is cut small and prepared soft.

If you don’t know how to sharpen a knife properly then no knife is a good knife. And if you do then any knife can be sharp and work.

No, true bushcrafters build the forge out of fire bricks and extract iron from ore before turning said iron into steel by introducing a carbon rich environment using coal, before smithing a knife from said steel.

@dashingdanielstyles no, replacement blades are not made to break easily. They do however dull easily due to their size and their material. They are thinner than most blades and are not as treated as other knives. These don't break more, they just dull faster

Different tools for different jobs, a good sized bushcraft knife is not only a more durable tool but also gonna help you alot more if you ever needed it for self defense
My Mora Companion has served me well. It’s cheap, but it works for everything I need it to do. I think I got it for like $20-25. I’m not sure how much they run for now though.
Where I live you could get a bushcraft knife and machete made out of old truck springs for roughly 10-20 USD. It'll last you literal decades and you don't have to feel bad when you beat it up
The best bushcraft knife is the one that you have when you need it. I love my Joker Scandi, but I use my gas station no name folding knife the most because I don’t care if I ruin it.
When I'm out in the woods I carry a fixed blade on my belt, and a small folding utility knife in my pocket. Both are incredibly useful for different tasks. Plus, it's pretty hard to get a general use knife to be as sharp as a factory razor edge.
It's a nice joke. 😂 Actually, I tried handlind wood with a utility knife like this one. The blade chipped easily when it got some pressure from the side. For wood the knife needs a bit thicker blade.
@Alex af Nordheim you know what's funny I was imagining the expensive China knife that just looks nice, compared to the local forge knife that might look janky but is actually a very good knife and reasonably priced, same basic concept but different application of reasoning.
I've been using a $20 Canadian tire "survival " knife for the last 10 years. It sharpens good, cuts good, doesn't rust... I also love razor knives like olfa, nothing beats a precision cut.
Yeah People forget that the majority of America was explored and settled by people that owned and used knives pretty much identical to the butcher knives that Old Hickory and Dexter Russell manufactured and sold for $10 + - for many decades. Used em for everything you'd use a fixed blade knife for. Traders bought em by the gross and dozens
@@michaelbuckers Yeah, I honestly always thought box cutters were the way to go. Razor sharp blades, cheap and easy to replace, super safe in the right hands. Only things it can't do are more forceful things like you said.
Utility knives are ideal for dressing down reptiles (a carpet knife, double sided blade, is my personal choice), for small game I use a pair of poultry shears. They actually make a dedicated skinning knife that uses utility blades I've used one once but some people swear by them.
I brought 3 knifes on a hike the other day. A quality fixed blade, Swiss army knife, any a tiny knife that uses the repacible blades. It was a 6 mile hike I would have been fine with just the Swiss army.
I’ve switched to the coast brand box cutter for my EDC. I’m not a bushcrafter, and if I were to do that I have other knives though I’m certain that 85% of stuff in bushcrafting could be done with the box cutter style knife. That coast does everything I need in my day to day life and cost $12.
Bin kein bushcrafter, nutze beim Campen und im Wald aber ganz gern das Rescue von Würth. Trotz dessen dass ich es viel fürs Holzspalten hernehme, bleibt es dennoch scharf genug um Tomaten problemlos zu schneiden. Find ich für meine Zwecke super. Liegt gut in der hand, lässt sich mit einer Hand öffnen (trotzdem legal) und hat ein angenehmes und gut balanciertes Gewicht.
I love nice knives, but realistically for my type of use, I only really need a utility knife/box cutter. But there are a lot of companies that make really nice looking ones. Right now I’m carrying the gerber EAB lite because it’s very thin and lightweight and it uses razor blades and it’s the best thing I have for what I need
Man all I need is a medium hatchet. Lightweight. Easy to carry. Easy to off an attacker, easy to use when building a fire or shelter, easy to skin game, easy to just use in general. And they r affordable
Yes, a razor cartage based knife like that is basically all you *NEED* for bushcraft. The argument bushcrafter's should be making against them is not that they aren't useful, but that the 'bushcraft knife' doesnt generally create the same kind or volume of waste as the razor knife. They're also much less likely to break, weigh less, and are generally safer. For people who care about the weight in their backpack, and not creating unnecessary and potentially dangerous waste, the 'bushcraft knife' is absolutely the choice. For most people who need a knife for work, and people that dont care about weight or dont need a knife to hold up under heavy duress, the razor blade based knife is the correct option.
A boxcutter will hold it's edge for like a minute if you try to cut into wood like that. Sure, you can replace the edge by replacing the blade but you are either going to carry a lot of weight in extra blades or you are going to run out quickly. That said, boxcutters ARE great quality for the price. But only because they are dirt cheap.
All joking aside utility knives (with replaceable blades) are quite useful! And they will handle most of your common tasks like cutting rope, processing tinder and kindling, etc, not to mention you can carry a couple of hundred blades and use it for more precision work! Of course it's not my first choice if I could have only one knife in a survival situation, but they are quite useful!!! In fact in my day to day it is arguably the most useful thing I can carry on my person. Now I might be biased since I work in construction.
Every knife has its purpose, for example, small pocket knives are great for whittling, big knives are great for removing large bark, serrated knives........... Box knives are good at cutting boxes!
I say, use whatever you’re comfortable and effective with. That being said, when you’ve broke/dulled all you blades, don’t come crying to me wanting to borrow a knife 😂😂
I use both at work, a big knife for things like shaving down railings to get rid of splintering sections, and cutting large things, whereas i use a box cutter for applications that would destroy the knife or places that are less convenient with a big knife
I have a couple high quality fixed blades that I really enjoy, they come out once or twice a year when I go camping. The daily carry will always be the cheap olfa boxcutter
Hahah. I carry (when I’m working) a full size folding knife. A SAK. A little folding scalpel. AND a utility knife with extra blades. All have different uses.
I love a utility knife. I can trim and strip coax anywhere from rg59 to 1-7/8" faster with a good utility knife than with the expensive tools you can buy. The stripping tools for large coax can cost $500. Forget that.
I switched from knives to a Milwaukee and never looked back I absolutely love it no more sharpening every week. Now I will agree chopping wood doesn't work.
My go to folding knife for years was an inexpensive kobalt knife from Lowe's that had a razor, drop tip and Tonto edge all in one unbelievable folder. I did every one of these things with it multiple times for about a year and then never saw it again. It's probably stuck in a log several miles in the heart of the forest. Miss that knife.

I switched from knives to a Milwaukee and never looked back I absolutely love it no more sharpening every week. Now I will agree chopping wood doesn't work.
I made my bash craft knife out of a file, I softened the spine so that it dosn't crack. Would recommend, it's cheap, reliable and can take a beating.
True bushcrafters dont pay $3 for a boxcutter, they get a job in a warehouse to unlock unlimited free boxcutters.
😂
Made a bushcraft knife from broken gardening scissors. Been using em for over ten years they didn't break yet
My go to folding knife for years was an inexpensive kobalt knife from Lowe's that had a razor, drop tip and Tonto edge all in one unbelievable folder. I did every one of these things with it multiple times for about a year and then never saw it again. It's probably stuck in a log several miles in the heart of the forest. Miss that knife.
