Why are bushcraft knives, and survival knives so different?

yes, rifles too, and even first aid kits. but in terms of "let's talk about designing a survival knife", slightly pointless. no pun intended. :rolleyes:

i already have the ultimate in multi-role machetes, :cool: but i'd love to get my hands on a russian survival kit machete.

cheers, and.

I was having a conversation with a mate a while back about this. When I was a teenager about 25 years ago survival knives were all big hollow-handled affairs and I did all my bushcraft (survival training, as it was then) with a british issue golock machete. I did everything: I dug holes with it, chopped up firewood, dismantled outhouses, the lot. Skinning and stuff fell to my Super Swede folder. About ten years ago, mate bought me a kuhkri to replace it.
Now I use a much smaller bushcraft knife, an axe and a saw. Much more effective but heavier and dare I say it less fun?
