Hello everyone,

I was browsing the Condor website, and realised they have two types of bushcraft knives. The straight back type, which is used in the bushcraft basic knives, and the drop point, which is used in the bushlore knives.

Which type do you think works best for a bushcraft knife?

Thanks,

Hatchet.
 
I have to be honest, I normally just go with what I like the look of .
Learning to use it is most important, Grinds and knife styles ect ect are a very personal choice . My advise (others will probably disagree) is just to get what ever is most pleasing to your eye and personal wants from a knife and then practice practice practice :)
 
Works best? - the one you have in your hand:)
looks best? Now that's a whole other storey...
I prefer drop points as IMO they look more balanced
