Uh, that's a throwing knife.

Bushcraft style knives tend to be in the 4" range and trends to edge styles that favor working with wood.

uh, i said "its a good throw knife".. now "bushcraft" knives tend to be anything you prefer to take with you in the bush, for what you do. and, if you look at the "style" of this knife, its not the typical semetrical throwing knife shape.. it looks like a 13 inch bowie (sort of). and i can personally tell you, it chops as good as a few tomahawks i have, skins hides just fine, and ive cut everything from apples to meat to rope with it. sharpener 'er up good and it'll carve just fine (not as long as others, its only $30)... oh, did i mention its a good thrower:rolleyes:
EDIT: i mean picture this... im in the woods at my camp, scrapping a hide with my knife while steaks cook on the green wood grill i made with my knife and as i stop to peel an apple with my knife a bear walks into camp and i throw my knife, killing it... what more can you ask for dood :cool: ...did i mention its a good thrower?
 
Everything sounded good and plausible until the end there. Please let me watch you throw it at a bear and what happens right after. Something will be killed but I have a hunch it won't be the bear. Darwinism?

Anyway on topic, I like the condor bush.
 
just got my Mora 2000 in the mail 10 minutes ago. :thumbup: that might be one for the OP to take a look at

...it was a small bear :cool:
 
I hear they were hunted into near extinction because of how frickin' creepy they are, but efforts are being made to breed the few surviving in captivity and reintroduce them to the wilds of Hasbro National Forest where herds of My Little Ponies, their natural prey, still thrive. :D

On a serious note, the True Flight thrower makes a good tough-as nails beat-it-up bushcraft knife if you convert the grind to a pseudo-scandi.
 
I have almost all the mora's and the 2 that I like the best are the Robust and the 2010 both vary good knifes for the price
 
Fun note on the Robust--the first bunch of them I had gotten in had the spine left as-stamped but the latest bunch I got in have the spines ground.
 
i figure food prep is about as important of a task a knife could be used for in the woods, so i try my "bushcraft" knives out in the kitchen first. we had chicken taco salads last nite
(i know, but the woman is on a no red meat diet) and i used the Mora 2000 to prepare everything from the chicken breast to the lettuce, tomatoes and even splitting up black olives. the blade design is kinda different, but i was satisfied with the knife. spent $28 for it on ebay, thatd leave ya enough to buy a decent machete as well. the sheath is definitely adequate, but i went ahead and ordered one from JRE industries. it cost me twice what the knife did.LOL
