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

Hey you are all stateless vagrants, states and money are just things someone made up.

You can all stop paying taxes now and if anyone asks why just say tax is not a thing it's just something someone made up.

Still missing the point I see.

Meanwhile, we’re all still waiting for you to show us something a “bushcraft knife” can do that virtually any other knife can’t do.

Best. Bushcraft. Knife. Ever. Period. Full stop. EVER!

I won't hear a word to the contrary.

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

Well the “original” was actually a modified cooking knife? Mall ninjas will be heart-broken.

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

BINGO.

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

So, no real responses. First it was multiple strawmen, and now it’s a refusal to answer unless something else that has nothing to do with what we’re talking about is answered. Oh dear, you aren’t very good at this, I’m afraid.

There was an even earlier version that pre-dated the original Bowie knife, the “Hudson Bay” knife. Supposedly made as a camp knife.

This is a bushcraft knife. (Edit: maybe this is the first Cold Steel knife?

Wait, according to the video in this thread

A pretty neat Bowie knife video...

A good look into Bowie knives 👌 I right away noticed the Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie he used at the start. They are surely big ole knives! Here's one of a few 1917 Frontier Bowie knives that I have in my collection. It's the only one I modified by removing the bluing from it's blade and...

the Bowie knife existed long before Bowie had his made.....

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

So Bowie knives don't exist?

 

[coolbreezy37]

Bowie style or type knives exist.

 

[King of the Cheese]

I have a Bowie style folding knife made in China. How ’bout dem apples?

Bowie style or type knives exist.

Bushcraft style or type knives exist.

 

[Jiki]

Jim Bowie's knife exists.

 

[J. Doyle]

So Bowie knives don't exist?

Not a specific, unified, agreed upon definition. Just like "bushcraft knife".

The HBC camp knife didn't really predate James Bowie. Early examples are 1830s give or take, the Vidalia sandbar fight was 1827. so about the same time period.....

China is great.

[Arathol]

So Bowie knives don't exist?

More importantly, do they have a Scandi grind appropriate for "real bushcraft"?

 

[King of the Cheese]

It’s a miracle Lewis & Clark were able to survive on their expedition using what amounted to cooking knives. They should’ve bought a knife called “Bushcrafter”. Things would’ve gone much easier.

 

[Houlahound]

Jim Bowie's knife exists.

Excellent, where is it: pics, link etc.
