Keep up OP, the Facebook brand is toxic and a legal liability. To create distance in the market it's now called Meta.

This.
Candidly speaking, anyone who claims there's only one right knife design (or grind) for "bushcraft", probably hasn't done more than do some woodworking projects and firemaking setups for their Youtube channel in their backyard. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but let's be real. Millions of people in this country have camped since before we even were a country, and did it without having a Scandi grind "bushcraft" knife, that's a fact. Millions of folks (myself included) have camped out hundreds or even thousands of nights while growing up in the Boy Scouts or other outdoors groups, and did everything that needed doing with only a SAK, or maybe a Buck 110 folding knife or any number of other knives.
I mean, somebody better let Mr. Horace Kephart know he's been "doing it wrong" this whole friggin' time, amirite? Or maybe send an email to all those guys using ESEE and Becker knives out in the woods, tell 'em "Ehhhhh....you'd be doing better if you had a "bushcraft knife" that people on the internet said to use." I'm sure that would go over well.
This is one of the dumbest hills for these bushcraft people to die on, and I've said what I've said.

He's probably bushcrafting his way out of his coffin right now with a pen knife to go kick these people in the seat of their pants.

^^This 100%. I’ve done every “Bushcraft” related thing with a Buck 120 General. Had the knife since middle school.

Makes me wonder how the cavemen survived without bushcraft flint.

Honestly, the whole bushcraft thing smacks of peoples' inclination these days to just try to buy their way through a hobby. "Take the time to learn and exhaustively practice skills, where I'd have to get off my ass and go put in the work? Nah, let me order another high dollar knife instead because some dudes on Youtube said so, and then just put it in my super expensive tactical bag that's full of stuff I bought on Amazon, but I've never used." THAT'S the way to go."
A seasoned outdoorsman could most likely do everything he needed to do with a friggin' paring knife from his kitchen.

Same thing happens here and the various bushcraft forums like bcusa and bcuk. Try to get any discussion on the Benchmade Leuku (or Puukko) other than "iT'S NoT A ReAl lEuKU"
Benchmade Leuku?
Anyone got their hands on one yet? Mine is out for delivery but just wondering if anyone has gotten one already and what you think of it? I've had the puukko but always just wished it was a little bigger for bushcrafting. So i'm thinking this leuku is going to be perfect.

That’s the thing, YouTube makes people experts on everything. “Learn from experience?, F that, I can watch a video on the internet and know more than you.”Honestly, the whole bushcraft thing smacks of peoples' inclination these days to just try to buy their way through a hobby.

That makes me sad. If only they realized all they had to do was grind their flint edge higher and thinner and call it a bushcraft tool.
(And not all of them. Apparently, you haven't met my mother-in-law......ba-dum dum. Thank you, I'll be here all week.)

Some folks find it objectionable when a name with a relatively narrow definition gets applied to something else.Same thing happens here and the various bushcraft forums like bcusa and bcuk. Try to get any discussion on the Benchmade Leuku (or Puukko) other than "iT'S NoT A ReAl lEuKU"
Etc.Benchmade Leuku?
Anyone got their hands on one yet? Mine is out for delivery but just wondering if anyone has gotten one already and what you think of it? I've had the puukko but always just wished it was a little bigger for bushcrafting. So i'm thinking this leuku is going to be perfect.
Right, wrong, indifferent, or obnoxious it's what's to be expected when you're in a forum full of legitimate aficionados.
It's a little different than discounting the application of a perfectly serviceable knife.

LOL I see that I've posted in that second thread. It's good to see my views are consistent at least!
