This must come up once a week. Maybe we should have a sticky about "Buy a Mora". That is what gets recommended most often.
Would it be a good idea to put all the info about a first bushcraft knife together? Where to buy them etc.
You can get posher knives of similar style by looking at various scandanavian types.

Are you looking for a nicer looking stick tang knife or a full tang knife?

Just what I was thinking!

What's your budget Jason?

2 people i would recommend are members of this very site.

Mr Shing:
www.shingcrafts.co.uk

Mick Spain:

Both make excellent quality knives that will last a lifetime. You can also discuss the type and build of knife you want (with regards to handles etc) so your knife is unique.

Mora is a good knife but feels boring and miss that nice feeling that handmade knives has. These 2 knives I got for less then £50 each, they are handmade and of very of very high quality but at very good prices. So talk to diffrent makers and see what they can offer you.

yes i like the f1 but I want something with a wooden handel

 

[Nicklas Odh]

It is possible to rehandle the F1 if you want to. I have not done it but I have seen very nice work done.
Either you buy a handles one and cut off the handle or buy a bare blade (about the same prize). Then you will get a great knife with the handle you want.

The knife will then look almost like the knife to the left left in the picture.
