Let us know what you think of it . I've always wanted one but haven't pulled the trigger. It's looks like the perfect bushcrafter

Great knife, awful sheath I found. If you bought one you might want an aftermarket sheath. That said, LT Wright makes the most consistent options for the OP.
 
Wow! I scanned through this thread just to see if it was listed, so far no one has suggested Tops BOB(Brothers of Bushcraft).

Now I know it's not running the best of the best steel(their 1095 is really well done though). It's decently priced around $100 and it's scandi ground. Bushcraft makes me think of living(surviving) in the wilds using a limited amount of gear for extended periods. That knife would fit into that perfectly. Good luck trying to sharpen Elmax or S30V on a rock, haha.

I know there are more expensive options out there, but a BOB would most definitely fill that role very well.
 
I may be partial to the Kornalski Mikko in M390 which comes in right under your price point...

Seems he is looking for something stainless ,not sure but they do make the Bob in 154 .
 
I've been using my Carothers Performance Knives EDC in D2 steel for my bushcraft lately. Performs outstandingly as a small blade to pair with a nice axe.

They're a bit harder to get a hold of, however it is the most comfortable knife I've ever worked with. A close second comfort wise would be the Blackbird SK5, which is extraordinarily comfortable in the hand as well (and it uses a kephart blade shape, which serves a great deal of functions).

For an easy to get knife? I'd recommend an SK5, or go for any knife by CPK if you want something special that will perform extremely well.
 
If you want a straight up Woodlore-style bushcraft knife... Adventure Sworn.

Trust me. Worth the money.
 
You guys are getting me really interested in LT offerings. They look promising.

I am not sure why TOPS had used almost 5mm stock on this blade, kinda nonsensical. It's not supposed to be a prybar. From TOPS, TSK might be a better option, even though I think it's still a tad thick.

That's for prying open all the pirate treasure chests you'd run across on your walkabout, haha. I actually don't think the BOB's blade is too much overkill. Strength is a must for a bushcraft blade.

You've gotten a lot of good choices to look through, especially at your price range. Shouldn't be too difficult to find what fits your niche.
 
I would have thought that you should be able to find a Finnish maker who could do a very good custom job for you. Given that much of the "bushcrafter" styling comes from the lineage of knives from that part of the world. The hard part is that here we are mostly english speaking and US-centric, and so there are likely great Scandinavian makers that we just don't know about.
