@@andrewthomasprice1557 I think that the bushtools are my favourite design and Rob is a great version, also fan of LT wright knives, the small Pronghorn is one of my favourite from them.
So cool to see the Dryad Bushcraft Bowie again! 😍 And what is even more awesome is that a new version might get available again! Can't wait! Thanks for the presentation Andrew!
Ive been a student of bushcraft for over 40 years now, my go to knife, for the last 4 years is the Casstrom Lars Falt, again, curly birch. A little on the heavy side yes, but its done some serious work. Great channel Cliff, Devon.
My current favourite is a Nomad Knifeworks Meister, it’s a copy of the Ray Mears Woodlore Pro I believe. Despite it being 5 mm thick at its thickest point, because of its distal taper, it’s surprisingly light with a wonderful balance, the scandi grind is quite high, the height does seem to vary from knife to knife, I chose one of the higher grinds, as such it is really slicy and has a fine but strong tip that makes it great for tight carving, I really love it! Another favourite is a Puronvarsi Puukko blade that a knife maker has fitted a beautiful tiger stripe curly birch handle with a moose bolster with alternating birch bark and white fibre spacers, this is another brilliant carver and I love the link to Scandinavian tradition.😁
Over the last 35 years or so I have had everything going but these days prefer compact and useful. These days I can’t understand the need for any thicker steel than 3mm and no longer than 3.5”. To that my two favourite knives are my Ben Orford Nomad folder in mircata and AEBL and my Ashdown Forest Crafts necker in 01 and walnut. Both small thin knives ergo perfect for carving and game prep and for anything more my axe comes out.
Great to get your perspective on bushcraft blades. I recently purchased one of those RJ Evan’s blades. Think your wood is haunted. Saw a ghost 👻 appear from behind a tree. Cheers from 🇳🇿 🇬🇧 🏴
👍 Nice collection of knives and a good description of them all. Over the last 24 years I have been lured in by the Siren’s call of too many knives. Truth be told one can accomplish almost any knife task with a combination of a Mora Classic #2 and a Victorinox Huntsman. BUT, I’m now trying the Lagom knife designed by the owner of Ben’s Backwoods & the owner of Lester River Bushcraft, built by LT Wright, we’ll see.
I have an ESSE RB3 It is an excellent production knife and half the price of its peers. Lovely handle with a blade that keeps its edge. I also use a royal marines survival knife
Nice to see Mr Evans making an appearance 🤣👍 I started with a Mora Bushcraft black (which I still occasionally use - belter of a knife), switched to a TBS Boar briefly (which I didn't get on with at all) then back to the Mora, and I've had a Casstrom SFK No.10 for about 5 years now and haven't felt the need to change it so far... although I seem to have aquired a large number of neck knives... Happy New Year, atb Andy
Could you make a gear/clothing list of recommendations? Maybe add it to your video descriptions? I love the jumpers you wear and would love to know what they are!
I am a huge fan of AEB-L (and its derivatives) steel. I am a fan to the point that I am upset that it is not a mainstream steel (Its derivative 14c28n is).
Hi m8 I have several moras, lars falt like yourself and my prize possession the ray mears woodlore oak handle by SWC, is the leshi a smaller pukko style knife, and what’s blade length as looking for a pukko style neck carry as my main knife thx?
Good question.... Generally speaking a "Bushcraft Knife" is a general purpose knife that can be used for a wide range of tasks, from food preparation and game butchery, to wood carving and processing firewood. Most Bushcraft knives have a Scandi grind and a robust fixed blade design, but everyone has their own preferences.
Yeah, a length limit makes some sense, but having locking, fixed illegal by default is nonsense and obviously not addressing any of the claimed purpose of the law: Laws for the law abiding; legislation from legislators; irrevelences for the criminally minded.
I scoured boot sales looking for a butchers knife I could adapt into a bushcraft knife. People think of the Bowie as the knife of the old west but in reality many frontiersman carried large butchers knives. I had no luck finding anything that fitted the bill so recently purchased a Becker BK62 horace kephart that is literally what I would have fashioned if I had found the right butchers knife. I really like it and it lends its self to food prep better than my lars falt
What's your favourite bushcraft knife?

Can I have a mora knife pls?
Mora are excellent knives, and cheap enough that you can buy several of them to keep in different areas of your kit.
