I own the knives that you mentioned. They work very well. This Bushwacker looks like a decent knife. The deal breaker for me is: "PRC" CQ's and the exposed steel at the pommel. It will scrape your forearm while walking or your palm when chopping. It's not "if", it's "when". The Esee Laser Strike and AG3 with Kydex is a great combo also. Nice review. Thanks.

thanks for the review of this! I heard about this company about 2-3 years ago, every time I went to order they would quickly go out of stock. I just went to their website and they have so many more knives to choose from now. I'll be ordering this week!

This knife really surprised me. Please let me know how you like yours.

Great video

[@bushcraftoregon]

you almost convinced me to buy one even though I can make one minus the d2 steel. think you will find the d2 steel is a good chopping steel. My competition hawk is made of d2 and really wears well.

Good review Dan. It did better than I expected also. Not sure I would choose it over an ESEE or a Tops especially because the price is not all that much of a bargain compared to a bit more for an ESEE with a lifetime guarantee. Thanks for the video!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I couldn't choose it over the Esee or Becker, at least for a main kit, but I do like it enough to have in a vehicle kit where all your extra stuff just ends up, Lol!

Good video. Good test and review. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you, and God Bless you as well!

It's not a bad knife I bought one for Christmas it's a good knife I have numerous tops knives and a few barkies and a couple euro customs I gotta say this blade holds its own

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Very good to hear. It definitely surprised me!

[@James-ke5sx]

Great knife for survival. It almost reminds me of the British MOD knife that you can do anything with including digging Etc. These knives are out of stock on Amazon USA and here in Canada these sellers are a bunch of crooks. They want $350 with tax for knives from this company. The problem we have here in Canada is that you don't have a lot of people selling odd knives and they can demand any kind of price whereas in the states there's so much competition that everybody has to stay decent in prices. I got an Esee4 today, real nice.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Interesting to know. I had no idea on the price gouging on some knives. Nice on the Esee 4!

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

I have seen many reviews of these knives, they seem to be a decent option. But for me, I will stick with my all-time favorite knife, the American made Survive! Knives GSO 5.1, or any of the ESEE knives, or (for me) as a last option a Mora, vs ANY Chinese made knives. FYI: I ordered those scales for the ESEE Junglas II from TKC Dan!!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I'm with you. It will never replace my Esee or Becker, but it is another option, and fun to test and review. Please let me know how you like the handles.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 Will do

[@scottplemmons9408]

I agree with your review and have a few if their knives but also love the Esee and Becker. My only comment would be regarding price. It may be in between the other 2 in price but much less after the modifications and additional scales. Just my opinion though and would prefer USA made for sure .

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks Scott!

[@7Nowhere7]

🤗What is your favourite Bushcraft knife?🔪

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

For carving, camp chores, fire making, etc. The Esee PR4. with canvas micarta handles from The Knife Connection . For a large survival Knife, The Esee Junglas 2, again with The Knife Connection handles. I carry both.

[@jdm8577]

Chinese made no thanks especially for the price. Number 2 problem is D2 steel. It’s brittle and hard to sharpen.
