Bernie Garland Bushcraft_need suggestion

[Alfredo]

Hi all,
what is the best BG knife for bushcraft in your opinion? I had a look on this page http://www.berniegarlandknives.com/index.php/knife-pages/5-bushcraft-knife but really can't decide.
Thanks, Alfredo

The woodcarver is the design i like the best

 

[Wayland]

You won't go far wrong with any of them, they're all good tools.

Difficult choice to make for someone else though. Everyone's taste is different.

I have a Little Whittler, used a neck knife, and a Bushcrafter...both are excellent users IMHO.

I like the Bushcrafter in blade style 2 - the one with more belly. I've got the folding bushy too & that's a cracker as well.

I have one of Bernie's own shaped bushcrafter's, as opposed to the woodlore clone/copy type.
It is in 3mm, which I find is a much easier tool to use than 4 or 5mm blades.
I have used an original Woodlore, numerous times in the past and the BG Bushcrafter is, in my experience, the better knife.

I also have one of Bernie's wood carvers, which I handled myself. This is also a good knife but not suited to general everyday use around camp.


I have not seen any of Bernie's more recent work, first hand at least but can vouch for the two I have myself, as being of good quality and very practical design.

hope this helps

I've got his Little Whittler, it's my main user so that says it all. Alfredo, you won't go wrong with any of Bernie's knives in my opinion. Top kinves, top bloke.

I've got his straight blade Bushcrafter as my main knife, and love it. Had a problem with a crack in the ironwood handle about a year after I bought it, and Bernie rehandled it without any quibbles at all. You won't go wrong with anything he makes.

I have 3 of Bernie's knives and they are great .I have one of his Woody clones a Little Whittler and a carver which was handled by Scruff,the Woody is my main user and it is a real pleasure to use.

i have the Curved belly bushcrafter, the B&T and EDC and a stick tang puukko, the Bushcrafter is by far the best, cuts like a monster.

Josh pretty much summed it up for me there, I don't own one yet but I have played with a couple before. The Bushcrafter or Bird and Trout will be the one for me when the time comes.

Thanks guys for your advices, looks like nobody can be worng with BG knives....my wish list is updated now

What about Spyderco Bushcraft vs. BG Bushcraft? I'm uncertain between this two knives...

BG all the way for me buddy

 

[Siberianfury]

the BG couples high grinds with a curved belly, means it will cut ver nicley, the work peice will automaticly go into the edge rather tha sliping off.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

burnie all the way not cos own one but because i know the guy and he is a legend

 

[rancid badger]

I knew I'd seen a one for sale on here recently!

Now that looks quite a nice knife to me.I suspect it's one of Bernie's earlier ones?
Beautiful pins,tube etc.
The marks should polish out no trouble at all.

Just a thought
