Scandi-licious

Is that O-1? Thickness? I got my B.G.A. bushcrafter a couple weeks ago and am really enjoying it. Ive got to where I,m even using it in the veggie garden!--KV
 
Tony,

Can you talk a bit about the differences between the Bushcrafter and the Scandi design? Pros & cons of each? If a fella can only afford one of these gorgeous looking BGAs which one would you recommend?

Thanks!

AJ
 
Thats a tuff call AJ.

I'm gonna really have to give it some thought.

They are both Scandi's with a blade 1/8th thick and about 4" long, but thats about where the similarties end.

I have had Brian's Bushcraft model for about 4 months now. In that time it became my most used knife outdoors. I have built bowdrill kits, spoons, tent pegs, traps, started fires, dug out plants with it, filleted fish, etc. In that use I never got fatigued with it and it didn't develop any hotspots.

To fairly evaluate my design I would have to use it alot more than just quick fuzzy and a few snap cuts; which is all I have done with it so far.

If you choose Brian's Bushcraft you will not be dissapointed it is a very well thought out design and excecuted perfectly!
 
A beauty! The practical design of the handle alone is very, very, very tempting!:thumbup:
 
Hey Tony,

I really like your design :D

I think that the rear hump on the handle has to be the most undervalued design aspect of a knife. It is not so common to see, but adds just tons of comfort. You did good on that one :thumbup:
