21 Knives all from knifemakers who frequent Blade Forums

[tonym]

So for those of you who don't visit the Wilderness & Survival Skills subforum, I decided to share a link here.

21 Knife makers took part in a contest to make their ideal Bushcraft knife.
A few of us were chosen to test each knife in several categories. We have had the knives for a few months and tested them extensively in outdoor/ bushcraft tasks. The knives had to have blades no larger than 5", that was the only rule set.

We judged the knives on fit and finish, sheaths, edge holding, and performance in many tasks. Performance is what this was really about and what was worth the most points.

We are just now posting our reviews of each knife. The thread I link at the bottom of this post is locked and will remain locked untill all reviews and final scores are posted.

Please do not post in that thread until we are finished.

Feel free to comment in this thread.

Thank you,

Tony
