I haven't personally handled it, as I'm not a huge fan of the blade shape. I had been considering purchasing one just to support a "new" us knife manufacturer. I guess I forgot about it... I do really like the sheath though. Thanks for the reminder
 
I've had mine for about 5 months now. Got used to field dress a deer this last season and did a good job. Other then that I've used it for some random carving and some light batoning and it performed just fine. the spine throws sparks from a ferrro rod well too. I think it feels good in the hand in any grip as well.
 
I just picked one up. I like it. It's simple, easy to hold and has a decent weight to it. The blade has a good thickness to it, making me think it'll hold up to some use/ abuse. I'm kinda fond of the old school sheath too. Simple and seems like it's well built.
It's my first Camillus knife, and I think I'm glad I picked this model, reading about the Chinese made knives the company has become known for. I'm a Buck fan, having a few of theirs.
This knife gets my vote for simple functionality.
Ironically, I went with this model, despite first seeing and liking a different, burl-handled Camillus. After I saw Les Stroud's signature on that knife's blade, I looked at the Bushcrafter and took it. Glad I did!

I just picked up a Camillus Bushcrafter. Didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It feels great in my hand. The price was excellent for what it is. Feels like it could take a beating and wants to carve on some wood.
