Fixed Blade Bugout (-ish)?

[RyanSean97]

I like them but it is a lot of coin for a tiny knife with no handle that would do the same thing as my white River backpacker.

That's how I feel about them. I have a hidden canyon hunter from them in the same s90v steel for $80 less even with a handle.

I've been thinking of this as well as a neck knife. Perhaps something in a 10 series steel but in 3/32 like the bugout.

That is essentially a Buck ranger right there!!

As for the blade, you're right! Maybe Buck will do a 113 Lt someday. Or perhaps they've made something similar?
To me, the handle is the half of the Bugout worth noting.

Another vote for the Benchmade Altitude. As a bonus, I know from experience that mine will skin and quarter an elk and still shave after all that work.

Are we looking at much more than every single bushcraft knife that is?

And I am still a fan of the real steel bushcraft.

I may be a little late but if not, the benchmade altitude is identical to the buyout except it's a fixed blade and is in a s90 which is a very strong steel. They are a bit pricey but it is literally a fixed blade bugout.

While I haven't handled an Altitude, it looks like it leaves a lot to be desired in the grip in comparison to a Bugout.

The handle is a little small but you can choke up on the blade really well or give it a Paracord wrap.

Thin, fast, light, slicey, and inexpensive. I don’t know of any production models that check the boxes, but for the same $$ or less this is a very nice custom and has served me quite well.

That’s a good looking knife. Who made it?

Thank you. It’s become a favorite for sure. Made by M.McAlevy here on the forums. Great F&F and priced very fairly.

A bit thick but, Fallkniven R2 Scout?

The Benchmade Steep Country is not that far off. It's blade is about twice as thick as i wish it were at 0.14" but i believe the new ones are a little thinner.
