Bushcraft Knife

[Odell]

Curious about a good fixed blade knife that doesn't break the bank. Anything good around $100?

Mora

That will probably be the most popular.  I like my RAT-7, for a chopper, and the Cold Steel SRK gets decent words.

Gerber LMF II might be a good one to consider

Look at Mora knives.  Personally I like my Bark River Bush Crafter.

Cold steel throwing knife.   It is like a small, very sharp machete.  Cheap too!

I have used a lot of different brands and priced knives in my lifetime from pocket knives to the butcher knives from my fathers store. Good steel stainless or high carbon is a matter of personal preference to me and I have both. I currently have two Mora knives that I end up carrying and using. If you will learn how to sharpen a knife properly almost any one will get the job done. Here is a place to see what is out there and give you some ideas of choices:

A real consideration is the handle and how it feels in your hand, is it to slick to large or to small? Spending a fortune on a custom knife is a personal issue but in your price range there are many knives that will last a lifetime. Good luck!!

One of my favorites is my Knives of Alaska Bush Camp model.

That's been on my things I want but not bad enough to buy immediately list for several years.  Good suggestion.

For a tad more than $100 I would get the combo set though, get nice little caper with it.  I like that it's D2 steel, hold and edge for a long time but a little longer to sharpen back up.

I still have a few of these available...




They're a true "Bushcraft" custom, handmade. Selling them for $50. Very good edge development and retention. They're made from sawmill bandsaw steel with micarta grips. Simple kydex pack sheaths.

Traditional bushcraft is kind of a one-day backyard knifesmith build, using scrounged materials and minimalist equipment and detail work. That's the tradition I follow making these, although I do heat-treat to recipe with known steel, and finish out the micarta pretty nice.

(These do not represent my one-off custom knives!  http://www.rain-shadow.com/knives_for_sale.htm  Nor does their price!  )

I have one of theirs, not this one, and it works very well, if used like a knife.

They can be had below $100.00 if you look around.

I wouldn't beat on it. But then again I have never seen a reason to abuse any tool.

I got a buck Selkirk for Christmas and I think it will work out nicely

Bushcraft knives are a special breed!!
I have Blind Horse, Battle Horse, LT Wright, also look at Bark River, and Enzo.
