Bussecraft, anyone???

[PharaohX3]

My favorite combo is my BATAC with an AD for the tiny stuff. I use my Wetterlings for choppin.

 

[SunnyBunny]

.....Yeah, those have a pretty stout profile, bet the regrind is a huge improvement. Who did the work? .....

According to forum member awestib the Boss street was regrinded by "Mr. Murray Carter himself on a revolving Japanese waterstone wheel, water cooled." I am very impress with Mr. Carter work!

The knife is just the right size for my hand compare to the Game Warden. My first Busse slicer

 

[dockbox]

I don't have one, and that's why I 'm asking,

How would a SAR 5 do, you don't ssem to hear too much about it.

I've often wondered this, I think it would be great for woodcraft....

A thin, Satin RMD is tough to beat.

 

[pap11y]

I think the 511 is a great option for bushcrafting.

Or for a combo the 1311 and 511

Honestly the BHK Bushcrafter in a scandi grind was designed just for outdoors wood work and would most likely outperfrom any Busse product in that arena. That said I think an Active Duty wouldnt do to bad.

Sure it would if the wood was precut and all you had to do was make shavings and carve stuff.

Keeping a fire going when the temps are around 10 degrees and the snows coming down a 4,5 inch thin bladed knife is going to get you killed.

I use the basic 4 a lot and the team gemini went on a backpacking trip with me to colorado last summer and worked really well.

 

[messer454]

Anorexic Basic 4. It does everything I need and is my favorite fixed blade. I am not convinced a Scandi grind is superior in any way to a full flat grind for my needs. Your opinion may vary. I have had several BHK knives including bot scandi and flat bushcrafter. Nice knives but none will replace my Basic 4. If you want to chop a 911 is hard to beat.

Well lets clearify something here first . A bushcraft knife is not the same thing as a camp or survival knife . Most knives with a blade length of 6" to 8" makes a good camp knife and can do most chores in the woods .
However when talking about a "bushcraft" knife , most knife folks and knife makers consider a bushcraft knife to be just about 9" over all with about a 4" blade that is about 1/8" thick . This makes for a good knife for woodworking like trap triggers , feather sticks and other finer carving .
The only Busse knives that really fit that bill would be a CABS , SCABS , Active Duty and although it's a bit smaller I use a Magnum Bear Cub as it's pretty much like a pocket knife but with a fixed blade .

I think that the Anniversary Mean Street may just be the perfect bushcraft/hunting knife if Jerry decided to give us a no-choil option on it, I can only hope so.....

 

[PeterPHWS]

I use a Basic 9 for everything ... fuzz sticks of any type and size ... fire bow-drills ... ferro rod fire lighting ... pot hangers ... tarp pegs ... fig 4 trap triggers ... all the simple stuff a 4 inch knife is meant to excel at and it covers off everything you would then need an axe for if using a 4 inch blade ... and a machete if need be ... and at 14 oz's it saves a lot of weight in your pack ...

Food prep ... it can do everything from Rabbits to Deer ... small birds are doable with the right techniques ... and fish ... you don't see Chefs or Butchers using small 4 inch blades ... fishmongers too ...

I have tried every size of knife and combination of knife/knife and knife/axe and the Basic 9 is my favourite "lightweight" option ... :thumbup:

 

[neverforget]

^^^^^ what peter said I haven't been using the b-9 for a long time, but I use it for everything so far. Definitely my go-to blade, it has found a new home in my ruck. B-9 is hard to beat !!

 

[SubaruSTi]

I made a fuzz stick with my NMFSH the other day, it has a sharp tip I be I could make a bow drill set with it too, I mean you use soft wood for that!

I made the fuzz stick on some seasoned white oak, that's not nearly as easy to carve as ceder!

For ultra small stuff I have a pocket knife. Point is a big knife can do it all, a small knife can't.

 

[mymindisamob]

BATAC. When I have one.

 

[knife hunter]

Cultie's are hard to beat. A choiless cultie would be even better cause I love my CABS

 

[gunfixrjoe]

How about the Boss Jack? Anyone?

 

[rpn]

For me, the War Dog is tops. About as good outdoors knife as my customs.

 

[Phil the SP]

Boss Jack is my do everything, "outdoor" knife. Fuzz sticks, splitting logs, etc.

I'd love a shorter, choil-less, thinner blade for smaller tasks where the size of the Boss Jack isn't required.

 

[sputnick]

Out of all my busse kin knives ( dogfather, hrlm, scrapper 6, and boss street in addition to a mean street and an active duty that I no longer have) the hrlm seemed the best of the bunch as a bushcrafter in geometry and ergonomics. With that said, I carry the boss street every day and every mile I spend in the woods because it was a gift from a fellow forum member and always reminds me of the goodness in people when I lose faith. Its no slouch on typical bushcraft chores and I can always count on it. This is of course limiting the question to bushcrafting style knives.
