The best Bushcraft Knife UK vs US. Pictures please!

As you say - each to their own. I remember the first time someone here saw an unsheathed knife hanging from my wrist lanyard they about freaked. But I was taught not to put a knife on the ground and I'm not going to put a bloody or dirty knife back in a leather sheath every time I need both hands, so just letting it hang off the lanyard makes sense to me.

I do this all the time. It just seems logical to me.

See I don't do that....a bloody and messy lanyard gets me beyond irritated, but then I don't like paracord wrapped handles either. There's always someway to put the knife safely near hand, even if it's on whatever I'm going to use to clean it with before I put it back in the sheath.
The Aitor I used the other day has a lanyard and I took it off before I used it....commented to Himself that I really couldn't see why they bothered putting it on it.

Again, each to their own

I think virtually every scout in the 40's to the early 90's had one of those leather stacked handled 'bowie' type knives.
Tbh a decent folding pocket knife was a lot more use.

It taught a heck of a lot of us though that the guard was an annoyance that gets in the way for an awful lot of tasks..

Most jobs can be done with a pocketknife, however I'm a boy scout who never grew up...
& I take joy & pleasure from using a knife not on the list prescribed by Mors & Ray :yikes:

The guard question depends on the tasks required, & grips used & preference..

It seems wrong to not include the EnZo Trapper into the mix, one of the best bushcrafters around.

It's a Mark Hill Mora #2 full tang clone for me.

You still using that Ross?

You still using that Ross?

It's the only one I use. You really did a great job on it. Why mess with perfection?
