Koster bushcraft?

I'd keep the Bravo-1. If you don't feel like waiting for a Koster knife with larger scales, I suggest looking at the Bark River T.U.S.K. - a ~3" straight bladed Wharncliff design. I think of it as a large scale version of a popular chip-carving knife I really enjoyed use of over the years. It is my best 'woodcarver' Barkie (I also have the Huntsman, Fox River, Gameskeeper, North Star, and Boone.). The handle is nearly as long and shaped like a Gameskeeper, their 'large' handle - just not as thick. It would fail miserably as a 'driller', perhaps limiting it to most from being a 'bushcraft' knife.

The Koster looks fine for 'bushcraft' use - but I have a Buck Vanguard that I thought perfect for that, too. I used it a lot - before my 'enlightenment' (My intro to much more expensive 'bushcraft' knives!).

How about a good close-up or two of someone's Koster Bushcraft?
