Your knife for Bushcraft...

[JayKay]

Hi there,

Thanks for reading my post.

Maybe this has been asked before, but I was wondering wich main knife you use for Bushcraft? I mean the knife you don't leave home without when you go into the woods......

For myself:

Knife : F1
Manufacturer: Fällkniven

Greetings,

[Paganwolf]

Heres mine, its a Bison custom, which incidently now has a little brother a smaller utility neck knife...

 

[Hellz]

My woodland knife:

A Gene Ingram #30 Drop Point. The wood is spalted maple. I'll usually have either my small classic Sebenza or a BRKT Mini Canadian as backup.

Bison for me...still can't upload pics as digi isn't being all that great!

I also have an Allan Blade Bushcrafter, as featured in my avatar. Have a look at this thread. Scroll down for pics of it.

I also use a Northstar, which has done very well for me. You can see a pic of one here . To find more info on it just do a Northstar search.

a mora, thought my F1 would go for trips

Probably this one:

Blade is 5/32" O1 with a tapered tang. Ground by Nick Wheeler. The scales are micarta and were mounted and sculpted by Jamie Knowlden (blademan). The sheath was done by Jamie Briggs. I don't own a better or more comfortable knife for heavy duty woodcraft.

 

[Nightfall]

Allan Blade Pack Pal for me.

This knife is my preferred all-rounder. I hope to furnish some pictures taken using it in the field shortly.

The trouble with this lot is we resemble the movie sight gag of Mad Max characters surrendering weapons at some checkpoint. My primary core emergency/ outdoors knife is also an F1 with a RSK-1 folder. I have several Moras scattered about my various emergency kits in reserve. They're inexpensive, razor sharp and make impromptu gifts to new friends on the trail in need. I also have an Inuit Ulu and Martindale machete for use as needed.

Sorry guys, but i have serious respect fro the good old Frosts Mora in HC Steel. First came across one on a Woodlore course, I still use the first one i was issued with.

:super:

Georgina gave me a Classic Mora for Christmas. They are light, strong, very sharp and cheap. IMO it makes an ideal Bushcraft knife. She bought it from Gary at Bearclaw Bushcraft

This is mine, for now. I have a couple of new knives just arrived or on the way soon so it might be relegated from top spot. I will have to see how the new ones shape up.

It is a gene ingram 20b and I've had it nearly a year now. It's hardly worn in.

I tend to rotate these as EDC's but with the current anti knife feelings I'm thinking about carrying a folder as my EDC for a while and keeping these strictly for shooting and bushcraft duty but it seems such a shame not to use them.
(or perhaps working on a concealed carry sheath like Stuarts cross draw sheath)

I like the sheath and the balance of the Alan Wood but i prefer the blade shape of the Woodlore.

I just finished putting this together and when i get a sheath made i will carry it for a while to see how it performs.

Im still waiting for an OSF which i think could be the best of the bunch.

[JakeR]

How much was the OSF?

 

[rapidboy]

Depends on the spec ,01 ,ATS-34 stainless ,S30V stainless ,stock removal , forged ,Grind height (1/3, 1/2, 2/3)?......

O1 with a tapered tang was around $60.

I have been waiting 6 month sand still no word so i dont know if or when i will get mine but they all look great.

 

[RovingArcher]

I have a few blades scattered throughout my gear. My most used is a BRKT NorthStar, but on occassion I also carry Frosts SwAK and a Mora 2000.

 

[jakunen]

Sorry, no pics as I've lost the cable for my digicam...

I always take two of the following three:

Opinel;
Frost Mora;
Laap puuku.
