Best Bushcraft Knives Under $100 in 2021

[@Qui-Dad-Jinn]

I love that Moraknivs are made in Mora, Sweden. Coincidentally, my family (who helped homestead the area) are all from Mora, Minnesota. So I feel obligated to purchase every type of Morakniv possible. Just a dumb little piece of trivia/info. Have a great day!

Being a Finnish speaker, I would say that "puukko" in Finnish means a particular kind of knife, basically the same as you call puukko. Knife in general is "veitsi" (hunting knife: "metsästysveitsi", chef's knife: "kokkiveitsi", folding knife: "kääntöveitsi" etc.)

[@apsifiable]

@DTL Probably. This is one of those things "I know it when I see it". But I think your definition is close. I think that maybe a scandigrind blade is also a requirement to fulfill the definition. I suddenly find it amusing that me as a native speaker can't define the difference between a puukko and a veitsi. But I seldom, if ever, use the word puukko in daily life, since I am not into the traditional looking domestic (or nordic) knives. In a nutshell, puukko is a particular subcategory of veitsi.

[@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx]

@DTL Thanks for the info on what the names mean in Finnish.

[@hippitukka]

In one forum I described it as small a knife with a scandi grind blade. Typically puukko blade has a straight back, sometimes a bit of clip point style just to help you to take your coffee pot out of the campfire. The traditional handle material is curly birch as DCA stated.

[@hippitukka]

@DTL Five-inch is a rather good definition. Often puukko knives with 5" or longer blades are called Leuku. Although Marttiini's shortest leuku has 4.3" blade and their longest puukko blade is 5.1" :D

[@whengrapespop5728]

@DTL A “puukko” is the Finnish name for a Finnoscandian knife design (Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden). The Norwegian name for it is a “tollekniv”, derived from he Old Norse word “talguknifr”. It refers to a general purpose knife that people would carry as a tool to do all sorts of tasks throughout the day. It doesn’t mean “knife”, because a “knife” could be a chopper as well (like the Sami Leuku, which also was used throughout Finnoscandia). People would even use the knife as a utensil to eat their food with, but it typically used for fishing, hunting/skinning, farm work, carving, whittling and as a self defense or offense weapon.

[@SodaPopCurtis808]

I freaking love Moras. It was just nice seeing these good ‘ol faithfuls on display….

[@jamieofalltrades536]

I agree, Mora knives are good knives, especially for the price. I do think they should ditch the micro bevel they put on their knives though and stick to a traditional Skandi grind edge. The miro bevel edge is harder to sharpen adds extra resistance to the blade edge when carving, and it doesn't hold its edge so well in my opinion. I regrind my Moras to have a true Skandi grind and then they are awesome.

[@catfishcave379]

I have several... and I want almost all of them! And I've never been camping... So useful as a utility knife around the house or garden.

I've got a red wood-handled Morakniv from meeting and taking some classes from Canadian Bushcrafter Mors Kochanski, and that was maybe 31 years ago (holy crap, I'm old.) Anyway, I STILL use it. It's taken a beating over the years but never lets me down. That having been said, I'm always looking for more. This video hits my sweet spot.

[@CrimeVid]

I was given one, the Classic Fisherman, with the red wood handle and descaler back, if I’m counting right, fifty six years ago, it’s still around ! it was always slow to sharpen, it’s pretty hard. But now we have Diamond plates perhaps it’s time to get it up to scratch again !

The very traditional Mora knives had wood handles painted red and a pressed or stitched leather sheath. There are a couple of models still in production, the classic line, their chef and steak knives and their handicraft knives, but the company has mostly moved on to synthetic handles.

Mora are fantastic knives! If you think about it - just buy and love it. Kansbol is the best compromise; I have an orange color version.

[@jamieofalltrades536]

I use the Morakniv Companion HD and it was an okay knife when it came, but with a few tweeks it became a good knife. I drilled a lanyard hole in the handle, I ground the spline flat for use with Fire steel, added petina to the Carbon steel blade using Yellow Mustard and Q-Tips to give it the look I wanted, as well as to help protect the carbon steel in wet conditions. I also re ground the blade edge on both sides, removing the micro bevel the Mora uses, so that it now has a true Skandi grind edge, and I can tell you it is a much better blade with the micro bevel gone. For the money though its a good purchase considering the quality and cost and after you put your own touch on it, you will im sure appreciate it even more!

[@mfreeman313]

I just saw today that Mora uses a micro bevel and was very surprised. The company that's pretty much synonymous with scandi? Horrors! Haha just kidding it's very subtle and the knives are sharp either way. Your customized Companion sounds very cool. I've used carbon steel in my kitchen for decades. They're nicely patinaed and I've never seen a spot of rust. Respect to people who take the factory knife and make it their own.

[@williamvictory3180]

I am surprised that the Cold Steel Finn Bear wasn't included. It's strongly resemble a traditional Puukko. I bought one several months ago and it's quite the knife.

Very handy utility knife.

[@kongandbasses8732]

The Finn Bear is a great utility knife. The handle fits in my hand like nothing before. I also have the Finn Hawk, and this knife is as good as the Bear, just the handle is different. Both come razor sharp, out of the box the Finn Hawk was the sharpest knife of my collection. So in the end it is the handle you prefer. I like the Bear for woodworking, the Hawk imho is the better fishing knife.

Honestly, trying to decide which to carry 1st will come down to drawing a straw as either will serve well, indeed I'll be shocked if there are issues! In addition, I've got a new k-bar, kephart thst'll get a try ss well. Having 3 nephews & a grandson, it's my desire to present each with something I've carried afield.

I may be a little biased (From Sweden) but Mora Companion (And HD version too) is awesome. And affordable. Just excellent value all around. Super comfortable and grippy handle. Love the Kansbol as well even though it is a lot more expensive than Companion. Kansbol has very cool sheathe options, look up how Survival Russia used the multi mount for very practical carry in Danish fisherman style. But for bang for the buck you can't beat the Companion I think! At least not if you appreciate the rubbery grippy handles.

[@stevelink3]

Excellent presentation as always, David! I'm trying out the Cold Steel Finn Wolf EDC. In addition to your positive comments about it, I also saw another video in which the knife was "over-tested" for toughness of the locking mechanism, and the TriAd lock won the test over several other types. Also, interested in comparing that Scandi blade sharpness to a CJRB Feldspar. Happy Holidays!

[@Zombot]

The Finn Wolf is a great folding knife option for a scandi grind blade. My big complaint with it though is since it is a folder, the handle/scales digs in to my hand to the point that it's really uncomfortable when doing wood working or carving tasks with a lot of force. A fixed blade doesn't have that problem by comparison because the handle is completely solid and doesn't have a big cavity in the middle to make room for the blade when the knife is closed like a folder does.

[@stevelink3]

@@Zombot Good points, Zombot. Though I really liked the sharpness of the Scandi blade out-of-box, I actually found that the Tri-Ad lock required far too much force to unlock. So, going to try another brand EDC. I too, love fixed blades as well, but for EDC I like a quality folder. Still searching for a "perfect" 3" D2 or AUS8 flipper with comfortable/thicker G10 or FRN that's relatively quick/easy to deploy, with either a frame lock or liner lock with around 50% contact at the tang.

Just a quick point about the Kellam Wolverine. It isn't actually a "Bushcraft" knife. It is a higher end herdsman knife. It is primarily designed for the herder and pastoralist. The slicing, skinning, and meat processing are the primary uses so it isn't meant to be an all around utility knife.

👍 As usual a good selection of knives and you describe them well. As my “collection” of knives of all shapes, sizes, costs, and materials will testify my long and apparently shallow learning curve has bounced me around the world of camping, bushcraft, hunting, and fishing knives*. I have yet to encounter a situation that my hatchet, folding saw, SAK, and Mora Classic 2(c)** cannot handle, but I have spent a season on Alone. 😀 Any of these wonderful knives could be someone else’s very satisfactory substitute for my Mora. * I have never had a need for a “tactical” knife. I always thought a firearm would be a better choice. And, try as I might I just don’t understand what a “survival” knife would accomplish that most any other knife would not. ** I’m toying with idea of replacing the Mora with a larger folding knife. I have tested the original SOG Tomcat, the Lionsteel TM1, the KaBar Mule, and the Cold Steel AD10; but, I keep coming back to the traditional Buck 110 (brass & natural scales) then the question, which variant? I now have 11 different traditions Buck 110s (a new one arrived today) and one modern aluminum & carbon fiber lightweight. Waiting on a 2nd Lionsteel from Knife Center, but this one will not capable of replacing the Mora - it is just a cool looking knife.

You presented very remarkable knives. I personally spend most of my time in the woods. I would never buy a knife because it easily ignites fire with the sparkler, these are trivial toys. Besides, nowadays there are lighters and even a storm. I have noticed that most of the suggested Bushcraft knives have Scandinavian sharpening. It's a big mistake, we all know the typical ease that you turn the Scandinavian edge into a saw. The only thing Scandinavian knives can do well is process wood. I do not think that someone who lives and experiences situations in the forests needs sparklers or will ever sit and peel sticks. In the forest away from extraterrestrial steels, a "round" stainless steel like 440C that is easy to sharpen and holds its edge very well and with a length of up to 11 cm is a good choice.

[@bushcraft_in_the_north]

I think scandy grind knives only works for removing alot of wood,making wood flat. Not good at notching,slicing,presision cuts or cross cutting.The scandy grind is also weak and fragile and dulls easy. They are also best sharpend on a larger stone,who can be heavy to carry into the woods.They are also allmost allways to thick in the stock,also most of the Mora's is to thick And i am from Norway so dont give me any crap. It is a bad allround knife in the woods and in general in my opinion. I prefer flatgrind as a allround knife and the fav,is convex edges,i like saber grind for lateral strenght. I use scandy grinds now and then,but then i prefer a handforged Norwegian Tollekniv of some sort or my Brisa Nessmuk,it is a high scandy edge in 80crv2 steel. Norwegian knives has allways been triple laminated blades. I have the Cold Steel Finn Wolf in blue. I also usally pick blue because the lack of it outdoors,besides some flowers. God knife,but a little to thin in the grip sometimes when used on a harder task. But plenty strong. Often Helle knives is a little thick in the blade and low on the edge,so not a fan of those eather.And a crisp spine is really not thing that matters much. It's a new thing. Not a thing that matters much to me or bushcraft tasks. You have a edge or a axe or the backside of your saw or the SAK or a scraper for your ferrorod if you use one. I prefer flint ans steel anyway.
