I decided to head out today and compare my little Bushy with a similar sized production blade my Buck Diamondback.
Here are the knives, both blades around the same length and thickness, the Buck being hollow ground and the Bushy convexed.
First I headed up to a nice testing area.....
Maisy checked out the view at the top....
And what a view it was....
Mt Baker was looking pretty cool today....
I was searching around for decent sticks to test but all I could find were small dried hard ones that were full of knots, oh well !
I decided to point the sticks and then cut a notch to check how each knife performed.First up was the Buck, this little fella suprised me as I don't use it much, it cut pretty well and was quite comfy to use.....
Next up the little Bushy, the difference was like night and day....no kidding this thing did the work in seconds and was a breeze to use.......
Although similar sized the real difference can be seen in this pic, the oversized handle really gives you maximum control and allows you to work without getting any hot spots......
