Yeah it was time to test all the knives I considered bushcrafty & do a head to head comparison !
How many winners can there be ?
In no particular order : ( Scores = Lower is better )
Ganzo FH922 8 Points
FtreeTiger FT2103 7 Points
FinnWolf 6 Points
QSP Parrot 8 Points
Hmmm , lets break that down !
Ganzo 3rd / 1st / 4th
FtreeTiger 1st / 4th / 2nd
FinnWolf 2nd / 2nd / 2nd
QSP Parrot 4th / 3rd / 1st
So we can see that while the FinnWolf did not win any test , it did consistently come 2nd ..
And the other 3 knives actual won a test ..
Yes , the FreeTiger and FinnWolf came equal 2nd in one test ..
So each knife ( except the FinnWolf ) excelled at something ..
But then did poorly at something else ( as far as scores go )
I mean there had to be a winner and a loser right ?
Though , i'd be happy with any of those 4 knives as far as bushcrafty folders go ..
What is a bushcrafty folder ?
It scrapes / shaves with the spine - Throws Ferro - and cuts wood .. ( as a knife should )
Obviously a good fixed blade will most likely kick 'em to the curb , but were not talking fixed blades !
Cutting wood ...
Oh that Ganzo FH922 is sweet ...
Scraping wood ...
Oh that FreeTiger FT2103 is sweet ...
Throwing Ferro ...
Oh that QSP Parrot is sweet ...
And 2nd place each time = FinnWolf
Taken into consideration :
Performance
Effort
Suitability
So how well the knife performs / the amount of effort to achive performance / and the suitability of the knife to the task .
All the knives at one time or other has done the deed ! ( Be bushcrafty )
But only today , have they gone head to head directly .
