My Short List for Bushcraft Knives

While there are many knives in the list, these are towards the top for me choosing a blade to run as a primary bushcraft blade.

This guy is legend

[@shadeshiest22]

I’ve found for ME personally the BEST bushcraft/woods set up is with these three tools- a Bark River Gunny LT or similar knife preferably convexed(for actual cutting, notching, fine carving), paired with a “ray mears” style Parang Duku Chandong chopper, and a Silky saw of your choice… If you’ve NEVER used/owned a Malaysian Parang(Malaysian jungles have similar harder woods more like USA) I’d highly suggest trying one, it’s lighter/less cumbersome than carrying an axe with more versatility/uses, the “reverse kukri” blade shape combined with the forward weight rat tail tang, convexed edge, and ability to COMFORTABLY choke up on the thin/short balanced part of the blade for fine carving is just amazing… it’s a TRUE “one tool” bushcraft option if there ever was one, and combined with a short fixed blade and saw(all 3 still probably lighter and easier to carry than a single axe!) it’s just an unstoppable trio-There’s NOTHING better I’ve found for me personally

[@marktroup2978]

I got my first parang about 6 months ago and it's a gamechanger

[@howardvarley8795]

Nick Hall . Totally agree about the Duku Chandong and the Silky but you can keep the Bark River!! I can think of 10 other knives I'd rather have.. Ben Orford, Tony Harding or even Ray Mears comes to mind.

[@chrisgeoss2543]

Bro let me say....every knife you've shown speaks to me. You have an excellent eye for quality knives. Thank you for posting the video!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

That is awesome thank you much

[@MountainAjar]

Kept my attention through entire video. Glad I watched, good content!

[@MrFreeGman]

I wouldn't mind seeing a video or two on the things you actually do with all these knives. You must be a bushcraft expert at this point.

[@richardhenry1969]

I asked him about that he said he gets more views showing knives. I just stopped by to see if he still was talking about knives that are overpriced. But he never show why his choices make sense. I personally don't see the need for overpriced name brands. This clown just pushes the youtu.be marketing bull.

@@Butch_Deezlsteak intelligence isn't your strongest trait evidently. You keyboard commandos are entertaining.

[@richardhenry1969]

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Thx for the video! Great list!

[@normanmallory2055]

My first was a Tops BOB Scandi ! I used it out there in the field for two seasons !! My second is made by Casstriim from Sweden that has a Scandi grind and is 4” it’s evolved into my favorite!

[@bibigreen6533]

I'm in Canada, so White River Ursus 45 and M1 are my picks. With the snow I don't wanna worry about rust and I need something that works well with big mittens. And I have GBA's and Silkies to take care of bigger tasks.

[@scottnorvell2955]

Great list. I would add a BPS to the list as a budget choice. 40 bucks and great knives.

[@tonysoprano7777]

Just found you channel think it’s great. If you could have one survival knive would you go with Esee 6 or Fallkniven A1X Stainless or black. Thank you. Keep up the great work!!

[@gregbarry5875]

Great video. Thanks!! It would have been interesting to hear about your choice of blade steels on your chosen knives.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Thanks for the idea!

[@cadenwalters5967]

You should do a video of you testing out some of your knives, maybe show a buschcraft trip like something similar to joe robinet.

[@Basementbuds420]

I think the cheapest knife you as well I own is the srk I love it as you do too but there are alot of nice bushcrafty stuff less than 100 or 50 even

[@Basementbuds420]

Try a buy a new blade a month review budgetish bushcrafty fixed blades like BPS knives or many other good overlooked items

[@ellerybice3787]

When will you start forging your own blades?

[@dennisleighton2812]

That's quite a collection. However, there is another kid on the block that is causing quite a few waves over here in Europe. I'm talking about the Victorinox Venture Pro! Here is a new knife that introduces quite a few innovative features that look worth a good look. Victorinox has a particular view on knives that is unusual - for example they have tended to stick to the same basic steel, while not the greatest in the view of purists, has stood them in good stead for many decades. The steel for the Venture Pro is Sandvik 14C 28N, and is full flat grind (not Scandi). The sheath design is quite extraordinary, and some minor initial issues have emerged, as have numerous hacks to circumvent the effects quite easily. I was wondering if you intend doing a deep dive on this knife system some time?

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

I have seen it.

[@j.p.4541]

How do you sharpen your BRK Bushcrafter? I have the BRK 2 and I’m not sure the best angle or tool to use for them. Anyone else please feel free to chime in. Thanks!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Typically the best way to sharpen is on a leather slab with varying grits of wet/dry sandpaper.

[@dingfodfodding1218]

Lol it's john Malkovich!

[@Basementbuds420]

I see you have like 15 blades you keep.love and always show there nice and badass but buy new stuff go out you comfort zone try stuff you never would but being completely surprised

[@tonysoprano7777]

Decider to go with the Chris Reeve Pacific instead!

[@splinterdevilblood6366]

Design a knife

[@howardvarley8795]

Lost interest when I realised you were going to trot out the usual American made stuff. Believe it or not there are Great knives made outside of the USA you just have to put a bit of effort into researching and buying them! P.s. I have a B.R. Aurora and a Battlehorse Highlander, and Im not impressed by either. Although my Adventure Sworn is good.
