I'm looking for a sub 200 dollar bushcraft knife. It NEEDS to be uncoated and I would prefer wooden handles. A Scandinavian dropper style leather sheath would be nice but I can always just make one. A scandi grind is preferred. It also needs to have a 90 degree spine. I would prefer tool steel over 1095 but that's just being nit picky.

Thanks in advance,
Gylfie
 
There are a lot of custom makers that can make you a Woodlore clone. I bought one off of a guy that frequents Bushcraft USA. I paid right at $200.00 and it is a O1 Scandi with Curly Maple scales. Great blade!
 
I would normally recommend a Mora Bushcraft, but with your budget and specifics you have in mind I agree custom is the way to go.

Helle makes a couple of knives that might have the features you are looking for also.

There are a few high dollar bushcraft knives I have been pining over for a few years. Helle, Fallkniven, Benchamde, Spyderco, etc...Truth is though I am not a bush crafter, I am a hiker, camper, hunter, and fisherman and a $20 Mora does everything I need it to. I just can't justify the expense for an expensive knife because its super cool.

Good luck, whatever you get sounds like it will be a great knife, and very similar to my tastes.
 
Enzo Trapper. 01, D2, S30V or N690. FFG or Scandi grind. You can buy bare blades, basic kits, more finished kits or complete knives. Leather dangler sheath. Micarta, curly birch, ironwood and olivewood. $40 to $150.
 
The Battle Horse Knives Bushcrafter would be one to look at. Wood handles are an option as well as a dangler sheath. They are O1 tool steel with a 90 degree spine.
