Folding Bushcraft Knife??

[LCB]

What about a EKA Swedish knife Sandvik steel and Babinga scalesView attachment 88174

Looks like a locking blade no? Just with annoying UK laws in mind I could do with a slip joint

I have a few 'folding bushcraft knives' I will take a photo over the weekend, but as a kind of do it all, the Spyderco Native 5 in CPM110v is very hard to beat.

you can choke up to the blade for detailed cuts, and for me every hand position is possible. Being a flat grind and stainless very good for food prep too.

Doesn't look incredibly ergonomic?

Just had a delivery, the two Gerber Mansfields I ordered, and because I have a terrible case of Wadelsthigot syndrome this came along with them.Thought it may be of interest to you LCB, very similar to the TBS you mentioned.
G10 scales, 93mm handle length, secondary bevel but I'll soon get rid of that. Best bit is it only cost £12.

The Casstrom Lars Falt Slipjoint gets my vote.

I found the fit/finish to be slightly better than the TBS Boar (and MUCH better than the Badger).

How’s the back spring, is it fairly solid?

The Gerber, decent. Somewhere between my Farmer and Manly Wasp but without the irritating 1/4 stops.
The Whitby is a bit mushy but ok, not dissimilar to my Joker. Just finished reprofiling it so I'll see how it goes.
I'm fine with both and prefer them to the ridiculously heavily sprung Boker I had.

Thanks, I’d be interested to know how you get on with the Whitby

I'll keep you posted. Think I saw a wood version too. For £12 you can't go wrong.

Svord Mini.

The greatest, simplest, value for money, most robust, folding, non-locking, outdoors knife

Another vote for the Casstrom Lars Falt. I have couple of tbs boars too but prefer the handle shape of the casstrom more. I also really like my Michael May antler handled Barlow.
