Busse Bushcrafter?

It would be awesome if they made a dedicated bushcraft model !

I think there is too much variance in what each of us would consider to be the perfect bushcrafter. Heck, I can't even decide if the perfect knife would be be a slightly shorter Boss Jack, a slightly longer SOB or a fatter handled RMD. Lol!
 
I use a SOB, but for finer tasks I need something else to pair with it. I am hoping that a Mean Street ergo will fit the bill.

Good input gentlemen. Will have to try the handle divot for the bow drill. I suppose G10 would be more durable than micarta. The CFSOB has been a favorite in the woods, maybe I can square up the choil a bit.

For reasons I can't explain, the choil on mine throws great sparks-- it not the spine. For the others I mentioned, I used a Nicholson file on their spines to create a bit of a rough edge, and now they throw sparks--the skinny ASH1 does so better than the Hellrazor... the latter's spine being a bit more rounded, I think.

Jerry could show us the way. Help us out Jerry!

Dog Skinner or Bog Dog (original Mudder handle!) would probably the closest to the purist bushcrafter's blade shape and size.
Drop point RMD wil do the trick as well.

'Bushcraft' happened on all continents for a long while... and only in a very small part of one of the smallest of those continents scandi grind was dominant grind until, what? this century came about and internet began shaping people's opinions...

I can't believe I missed out on those drop point RatManDu's, did you happen to pick up a spare?;)
 
I think the Active Duty would be fairly close to the classic "bushcraft" knife. That being said, I'm partial to the SAR-4 as my casual woods-walking companion. . .
 
I suggest you take a look in the Busse exchange for your bushcrafter.

There is one listing that may be of interest.

That makes that model very handy for the woods!
 
I use my comp finish sjtac. Convex grind slices like crazy. If I need something smaller, I usually use my game warden or whatever pocket knife I have on me at the time.

I'm enjoying the TS for fine detail work I found the AMS handle too thin for me and the SAR3 handle too short.
Clampdaddy I suggest you try out a BAe2 if you think a slightly longer SOB would be perfect. I originally bought the BAe2 just because I had the same idea as you and thought it would have a large choil like a BAtac that is my only problem with that blade IMHO.
 
For me, I've decided a Howling Rat Gen 1 is everything I want or need...great grind, steel, nice drop point, comfy handle and all in a light package. :thumbup:
 
Basic fire prep, food prep, shelter and miscellaneous carving tasks have all been done with a Scrapmax 340 and A) Ratmandu or B) Basic 6LE. These three knives cover a lot of ground.

If I'm trying to save weight or losing my equipment is a concern, a stainless steel Mora companion is always ready to step in.
 
Oh man, there's plenty of Busse knives that do very well bushcrafting. A few of my favorite, HG55, AMSMO, CFSOB, and HHFSH is an excellent hatchet alternative. I like a narrower blade myself, but I've carved a small 4" spoon with my NMFBM, :) The Rodent Trail is one that should be excellent, with a nice thin narrow tip SR101 edge retention, and that handle.





The TG works well for heavy work, and the TGM has been an excellent do all.



 
Mean street ergo, rodent 4, and the new son of swat look pretty well suited for bushcrafting I guess

Love your pics DaKruiser, I forgot that the AMSMO is hollow ground, right? Have enjoyed the AMSMO , but wish it was a little bigger. Wish I would have tried out the SOS.

Thanks! Yes, it's hollow ground, that nice thin edge really helps with fine work. I agree, I would like something similar but just a bit bigger too.
