Candiru good enough for bushcrafting ?

[Nick18]

Would it be better to get an Izula for a candiru for bushcrafting ? I personally do not abuse my blades too much, so for simple cutting task I think the candiru would do as great as an Izula. what's your $0.02?

Bushcraft involves a lot more than simple cutting tasks. Have you seen the specs on the knife you are asking about? It's a small neck knife.

I would agree with Devil. I would go with the RC-4 its more capable and takes one heck of a beating.

For simple cutting tasks either will do fine. I would not use either one for prolonged use as in carving anything or making many notches for traps or shelters. The handle is just a slab of metal and even wrapped with cord would eventually cause hand fatigue. furthermore the edge on the Izula (I haven't seen the Candiru's edge) is more of a heavier duty grind as opposed to a finer edge for carving and slicing. If you are looking for something along the same lines but better at bushcrafting and will still have a durable edge I would recommend a Bark River Bravo Necker with scales.

+1 on the Bark River suggestion. Izula II would be my second choice though.

At the moment, I edc an Izula 2. I love it but for woods use I also sport a laser strike and a junglas.

Candirus are not very big at all compared to the izula
