Your knife for Bushcraft...

[Hoodoo]

Cheers Hoodoo, still thats pretty awesome for the price...:biggthump

Yup, with sheath and scales added, I don't have much over $100 in any of them. I think my stainless ats 34 was the most expensive.

As you can tell, I will use any excuse to shameless post a pic of one of my osf knives. :wave:

 

[rapidboy]

Whats the scale material on that one Hoodoo ?

 

[Hoodoo]

Red micarta. Blade is 1/8" ats34.

 

[rapidboy]

Thats one sweet blade

 

[Wayne]

nice sheath too. Simple and elegant :super:

I use a Fallkniven F1 and it's the most expensive bit of kit I own! I'm looking for a new knife soon, though, and I'm thinking of getting one of them there puukko type ones... Not that there's anything wrong with the F1, however... I just fancy a change. I also use a cheap army surplus Golok, which does me just fine for cutting up firewood and matches the rest of my cheap ex-army kit. Good kit is cheap kit, if you ask me, and living in what is traditionally an army town it's all over the place!

 

[TAHAWK]

Hoodoo, did you rehandle the "Brute"?

hear, hear:

ATS 34, lignum vitae and 2/3 grind. :wave:

 

[JakeR]

I'll repeat for both of those...sweet!

 

[RJP]

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

Paganwolf,
That's a nice neck knife, who's it by? Is it your own design?

Tahawk, I think you have the wrong guy. I do have a Brute though. Doesn't everybody?

 

[tomtom]

i've been trying to find out if its still possible to get an OSF blade.. dont think it is though!

 

[Paganwolf]

RJP its a bison the same make as the big one, you can phone Bison up and get on the list for one, its a new one he is doing http://www.bisonbushcraft.co.uk

 

[Moine]

Hoodoo, did you rehandle the "Brute"?

Tahawk,

Yes, I removed the plastic slabs (slippery). I straight wrapped a layer of leather and added a paracord wrapping. This handle is indestructible and it gives a great yet comfortable grip. The only downside is that the paracord absorbs anything fluid, thus it's not great for skinning.

Cheers,

David

i've been waiting for a couple of years for my osf, or does it just feel like it??? :roll: ):

cheers, and.

Yeah but Nick's new bushcraft knife is a stunner. Prolly more pricey but we got Nick for the osf knife at a rock bottom price. He is incredible--and he's just a youngun. :shock:

Nick is rapidly becomming one of those that I look up to for guidance in better knife making. He has impressed me both in what I have seen online and from what I have heard him speak to me over the phone and email. He is, in my opinion, a real rising star. A star of which I hope to keep contact with.

wow!!!!! you guys have a kings ransom in knife steel--- make that a couple of kings and a duke or two!! I have a technique for you guys doing your own handles and such. If theres a shop where you can get boat repair materials, try getting some epoxy clearcoat, [brush on], and to it add a little of that non-slip additive they use on boat decks, makes a nearly indestuctable coating,very good grip and works really great over paracord. I have been using it for years,have not found anything better.

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, Jeroen

I also use an F1 and an F1 (both customised), but these days I tend to grab my "old" Felleskap (blade by Trond on British Blades, handle and sheath by me).
I make the sheaths different these days though.
