RJ Evans Bushtool - small test

[martineden]

Today finally a beautiful day to go outdoor,


and to try a bit my new Evans Bushtool


Specs:
Steel O1, 59hrc
Handle green micarta
Blade thickness 3,5 mm
Total lenght 220 mm
Blade lenght 110 mm


The sheath I done retain the knife comfortably and safely, the knife is not heavy, so not any issues





Cutting a 2 cm diameter wood, the knife is balanced slightly on the rear side so no chopping just cutting, anyway the knife is really scary sharp so all is going well


Carving tasks are really easy to do, due to the scandi razor sharp grind and a well rounded handle, the only things I would like a bit different is the handle material, it’s a beautiful green micarta someway slippery, I maybe would prefer a linen micarta, more grippy, anyway at the moment no problems to me




Arranging the woods for a spring snare trap


The rear of the knife has a metal plate, useful i.e. as a hammer



The spring snare trap is ready

At the end the knife is still razor sharp


This knife is well done, scary sharp, comfortable, a real “bushtool”. I’m very pleased to use it. My congratulation to RJ Evans the maker.
Regards,
Alfredo

Hello,

Great review. Take some 220 sand paper and rough up the micarta. Should make a huge difference.

Have a good one,

Chris
