Hog Muk a "Buchcrafter"?

[Hooker]

As I anxiously await picking up my Hog Muk from the P.O. tomorrow, I dug up this Busse picture of the combo I selected.
Anyway, I'm confident it will be a good skinner and camp knife, but would you say it qualifies as a "Bushcraft" knife ?

if you use it for "bushcraft"

I think you are going to have to tell us!

I think it should do well though. It seems to be a functional design. Muks are tried and tested designs, and with INFI, it's probably going to be a bushcraft boss...

Bushcraft Knife, hum IMHO no. But with that said I say the MUK is a perfect companion to a Bushcraft Knife. To me a Bush knife needs to be a little bigger as in larger survival/chore knife. The MUK is the PERFECT camp chore knife short of spliten wood. Just my opinion, cause I don't leave home without 3-knives on my person when heading to the woods.

Many people think that a bushcraft knife is smaller. IE thin, narrow blade......often with a scandi grind.

I tend to disagree. A bushcraft knife is any knife that works reasonably well for things you would normally use a bushcraft knife for.

Can you whittle, make a fire bow, make figure 4 traps, carve, etc etc etc? If yes, then call it a bushcraft knife if you want to.

Based on having mine in hand, I think it will work swell for what ever you decide you want to use it for. It won't be a Chooper, It won't pierce as well as a thin, pointy scandi grind. But it will do just about anything I need a knife that size to do.

If by bushcraft you mean a smaller, thinner detail-work knife, I can't think of a better choice than a Culti.
If by bushcraft you mean a one-knife do-all woods companion, I can't think of a better choice than a SAR-6 or even a SAR-8.
So it should be no surprise that these are the two knives I always carry into the woods.

The CABS . That would have to win the class.
But it comes down to personal skill levels to be honest.
Here in Australia "bush Craft" means "Fencing Wire" & "Orange Baling twine"
