i have been looking for a good 4" blade for bushcraft/utility work and have it narrowed down to just a few(until i see something else;) ) and could use some advice on these knives.

any opinions would be greatly appreciated fellas.

the contenders are:

and last but not least, which happens to be a tactical:o
fehrman peace maker

thanks in advance for the help gentlemen!
 
Well first off, go Iowa Hawkeyes!

Now to the point, you have listed good looking knives there, but out of those I like the Fallknivens and the Kellam. Not that the Fehrman is a bad knife it just that I'm starting to like traditional blades now. I think none of the would be out of place in the bush!:thumbup:
 
They're all good, but I'm very price oriented, so I would go with the basic F1 and get a decent sheath from eric of On/Scene tactical.

Of the knives that you have listed, the Kellam is beautiful and probably one heck of a good working knife and would be the second that I would choose. The first would be the Fallkniven F1.
 
thanks for the replies guys and go Hawks Barny!

there is a major price difference between the kellam and the others but i am still drawn to it. this probably seems silly but the kellam is handmade for that personal touch which the others are not. i kind of like the thought of a handmade knife.

still undecided though.
 
I don't know nearly as much about knives as most around here and am a bit stingy with my money but you are thinking about spending 500 bones for a general use/utility knife?

How about a Mora and a new tent and backpack, or a mora and a new rec kayak, maybe a mora and some new really nice fishing gear, or a mora, a new wool jacket and a new pair of danners...........;) Chris
 
Get the basic F1. It will not let you down. Then if you feel you need to get a bigger knife, get the S1 or A1.
Another idea is to get a F1 blade and get someone, or yourself to make a handle or your choice.
