Any of you dabble in bushcraft?

[RaVis]

If so, what's your knife?

 

[phidelta308]

A Blind Horse Knives Woodsman Pro, Gransfors Bruks small forest axe, and a Bahco Laplander 9" folding saw. I really like the sharp, squared off spine of the Woodsman pro for sparking a fire steel.

I tend to keep a cheap mora knife with my gear. Sometimes, I'll skip the knife/axe/saw combo and just bring my Becker CU/7 knife. It's great for batoning and finer work as well. I also almost always have a RAT/ESEE Izula stashed in my gear. It's a great little tool, and can be pressed into service doing jobs much bigger than you think would be accomplished by such a small knife. Also ESEE knives have just about the best warranty in the business.

I love my BHK knives! Plenty of good models from which to choose. I regularly carry either the BushBaby, the woodsman or a BushCrafter.

Becker BK2. Super thick blade, nice handle, full tang. Indestructible.

Also with me: Gransfors Bruks kubben hatchet or a Norlund Voyager tomahawk.

 

[NickZac]

RAT7 and ZT0100 mainly.

 

[gunrunner]

Brkt bravo 1. Varying styles and steels. But my standard black A2 ramp less is my standard go-to bush knife.

 

[willandtestament]

Spartan Horkos on the hip, Crkt Razl SS7 on pack and Winkler combat ax (not a knife but sharp as a razor).

[putneyswope]

Woodsman's pal or usgi machete...

 

[Huckleberry]

Cold Steel SRK and an old trusty Camillus USMC Fighting Knife.

Just one?

Right now I have a Gerber Prodigy but not sure I like the serrated blade. Actually use a Morakniv Companion for most simple chores and a Ka-bar Dozier folding hunter for a pocket knife.

 

[GUNSnROTORS]

Just one?

True, can't have just one!

OP - Most recently, a Benchmade bushcrafter (a gift). I know, I know ... S30V for "bushcraft", wtf ... but pretty much everything else on my web belt is high-carbon!

In addition to the bushcrafter (& depending on the activity), maybe any combination of a woodman's pal, a wetterlings expedition hatchet (another favorite), a coldsteel SF shovel, and/or bahco laplander.

 

[hutchinsonkw]

Right now I am using a condor bushlore. Before that it was a tops brothers of bushcraft. I also carry my Becker necker on occasion. I may try a condor Woodlaw next or a bigger Becker.

 

[MachtSchnell]

Are Blind Horse Knivea discontinued? If so, have they been replaced/renamed to Battle Horse Knives? They look similar in construction and design.

 

[MachtSchnell]

See no mention here, but the spyderco bushcraft looks nice. Also can be found at competitive prices compared to the other listed blades on this thread.

They split up into two companies: Battle Horse and L. T. Wright:

Thanks! Good to know, cause I passed up on some good deals on some older Blind Horse Knives a while back. Thought they were gone for good.

 

[Shamr0ck]

As noted what was blind horse is now two companies

BlindHorse ran out of two shops, each run by one of the owners.

Dan Coppins in Cambridge Ohio is now battleHorse knives and LTWright near Pittsburgh is LTWright Knives

You will still find each shop making knives based on BlindHorse patterns and both shops are introducing new patterns too.

Ontario RBS6 or Cold Steel SRK

 

[Mickey the Dragon]

I've got an ESEE-6 that I love, but if I had to do it over again, I'd go with the ESEE-4.
