Hey gang, I have an Arete, Bushcrafter, Hiking Buddy and F2.

I was thinking about the KE Bushie as my next knife but was wondering if it wouldn't be too much like my Arete and maybe I should look at something else.

So was wondering:

(1) Anyone got a pic that shows the two together and maybe what it looks like in your hand?

(2) I use my knives mainly bushcrafting/camping so do a lot of things related to that plus I do enjoy batoning some of my wood. Should I go no lower than 1/8th or will 3/32 still be good. My Arete is thicker than 1/8th. The HB and F2 are 3/32 but of course I don't use those knives for those type task.

(3) Any other suggestions you think I should really consider before buying a KE Bushie?

Thanks!
 
I don't have pictures of an Aerete however I will tell you if you need a little extra persuasion, The KE Bushie has quickly become one of my favorites. Before I picked one up on a Friday impulse the bushfinger was my go to. I love them both but the Bushie feels so much more nimble in the hand in my opinion and I LOVE my bushfinger so thats saying something.

Thanks for that pic. I does look very nice. I think the blade profile is just really calling me, lol.

Love the blue handle on yours.
