Bushcraft community hate towards non-bushcraft knives? What's up with this bushcraft craze? 😂

[Houlahound]

I’m pretty sure there’s a big difference between debating specific knife designations and being audited.

Same thing apparently, both are just made up activities.

ultimate drivewaycraft knife.

I’ve been been guilty of BackYardCraft now and then.

I once whittled a new peg to replace one that the kids broke on the coat rack in my driveway... Look for my upcoming YouTube channel on drivewaycraft.


If memory serves, I used a douk douk, the ultimate drivewaycraft knife.

What will you be wearing, asking for a friend.

If you're not too wrapped up with thickheadedly ignoring what people are posting, can you please specifically define "bushcraft knife"?

Nothing, I'm going to go for a naked and afraid/drivewaycraft combo. Although since it's still kind of cold here I might wear a pair of slippers under my yellow rubber boots.

Someone should film a remake of “The Office” “parkour parkour” bit.. except Michael, Dwight and Andy run around whittling sticks in various fashion saying “Bushcraft Bushcraft!!”

Most of my outdoorsy-type endeavors take place right in the yard. I like to keep the neighbors guessing.

When the neighbors call the cops, they’re going to think you’re on bath salts.

Now that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.

As soon as you give a specific definition of the definitive Bowie knife, with examples.

Wouldn't that be the knife that Jim Bowie actually carried?

After some of the shenanigans in the area of late, you're probably correct.

Full specs and materials please.

 

[coolbreezy37]

Full specs and materials please.

The blade, as later described by Rezin Bowie, was 9+1⁄2 in (24 cm) long, 1⁄4 in (6.4 mm) thick and 1+1⁄2 in (3.8 cm) wide. It was straight-backed, described by witnesses as "a large butcher knife", and having no clip-point nor any handguard, with a simple riveted wood scale handle

The knife that looked nothing like “Bowie knives” do today?

Are you being obtuse deliberately? NO ONE IS SAYING BUSHCRAFT IS A MADE UP ACTIVITY. We are saying that it is a redundant marketing rebranding of activities that have been around since the dawn of man.

A criminal record and/or prison for tax evasion is also quite real, and not nearly as redundant. Your local IRS representative will be happy to explain it to you.

Thank you for proving the point. It doesn't exist.

I believe that's the first version, Bowie and his brother continued to develop it as time passed.
