Integrals as wilderness/bushcraft knives?

A majority of stuff I read on the ideal bushcraft knife says it needs to be a full tang knife. I have some 52100 Integral that is 4" long. I love the knife. Do integrals make good wilderness knives?

The knife I'm thinking is the top knife in the photo.

People have lots of different ideas of what makes a good bushcraft knife. Moras are very popular and they aren't full tang. Quality construction has more to do with it than anything else. Your integral should be fine as long as it's made of quality materials and good construction.
 
What makes a good bush-woods-outdoor-whateveryoucallit knife is what you can do with it. Would I use a knife like those for outdoors? Absolutely.
 
I don't see why not, if the design and steel lend themselves to bushcraft chores it should work just just fine.

I use a couple of integrals as wilderness blades quite often, I love them.
