I recently saw two knives from Blind Horse Knives that really caught my eye. They are the Bushcrafter and the Workhorse. I am not familiar with this company and would like some feedback on these two knives in particular. If anyone has some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I'm interested in these knives as well; I would really like to hear from someone who's used them before.
They come up now and then in Tactical Knives magazine, and seem to be highly regarded. D2 steel with multiple tempers and a cryo-process, impeccable blade geometry, and very customizable. They've got me excited.
 
I had one of their knives. The bat wing model. It was well made, but too small to be useful. Of the 2 you listed, I'd go with the Work Horse. It's made out of D2 & at a decent hardness (58-60 rc). The Bushcrafter's made out of 4140, of which I'm not familiar with, but I notice they don't list its hardness. Considering the price difference, I think their D2's probably quite a bit better than the other steel.

Hope that helps. However, may I suggest "mykulmorris" knives, who's a knife maker & posts his knives in the knife maker section of this Forum. He's real good at making some nice file knives & I believe he also uses 440C at 60 RC & is starting to work with ATS-34. His prices are very reasonable, too.
 
the bushcrafter has an rc of about 55 its made from old saw blades, its a nice knife i have the large tiger knap i got it at nations gun show and got to meet the maker, they are a great company and make excellent and affordable products :thumbup:
 
I have 2 of their Bushcraft. First (#11) was so nice that I couldn't make myself use it and had to get a second one (#29). Very worthwhile at $100 each.

Of the 2, both have some of the best tiger maple I've ever seen in my life. I have only seen as nice on highest-grade flintlock rifles (which is where BHK gets their maple wood from).

Since they use old saw blades, my knives have different thickness blades -but both are true 'usin' knives, which is the philosophy behind the knife. I find it easy to use and 'touch up' bladewise.

Personal feelings are that this is more of a Kephart knife than "bushcraft" because the blade is wider and has more of a belly than some of the English-style pointy toothpicks that get called "bushcraft" knives, but there is no practical difference if you need something to cut, slice, poke or chop with outdoors.

Oh yeah, L.T. there at BHK is "good people", the type of earnest person you want to do business with.
 
They are great knives made by great people.
I have also met L.T., great guy.

Don't hesitate buying from them.
 
:thumbup: L.T. Wright is one of the owners of Blind Horse Knives,some of his work before BHK, has been in Blade. I've been next to BHK at acouple of shows and they do great work for good prices.
