So which Busse for bushcraft/survival

[Cobalt]

did I ever tell you I am a master at bush craft:thumbup:

ok, go to go cut some bushes down, see ya'll later

 

[Matteo Escobar]

If I had to pick one for a combat/utility/food prep/chopping/big job, small job knife it would be, without a doubt, the Steel Heart Ergo series.

IMO, it's the most basic functional design possible.

There is nothing that you could do to simplify the design.

 

[JWBirch]

"Bushcraft", like "Tactical" and "TEOTWAWKI". has different meanings to different people.
But if I were to only take one, it would probably be my HOGSJT. suweeeeeet!


Only one knife, are you kidding me!!! How the hell am I supposed to decide!!!

 

[JurT]

If you can grab a SFNO, I would take that one if I where you:thumbup:

This all depends on your idea of a bushcraft knife, but the bushcraft peoples have a set style of knife. It is usually a thin, spear point, scandi grind in the 3 1/2'' to 4 1/2'' range, with a handle that is shaped to be held in any postion you can think of (another personal preference).

With the exception of a Scandi grind (they are a zero-edged flat grind, which is close), you just described the ABA. Accept no substitutes.

I love my Hell Razors. I wish I'd gotten some made to my specs while they were still making them.

LMFAO!:thumbup:

After a SMOG/GW, the ABA/BAIII is next on my to get list. Then I too can be a INFI Knight.

[perksy]

Mud Razor for me...

 

[Strabs]

The perfect mid size blade would be my SHe or SFNO.

If only a smaller blade it would be anything from an E4 or MS, down to an AD or GW.

For bushcraft I use my trusty Felco #2s

 

[Schuey2002]

Nope...but this is.

As soon as that stick started exploding into pieces, I would have turned to the camera and said, "Cut! Let me go get another one..."

 

[leatherman]

here's a pic of a log cabin i built using just my game warden

Thats it! I found my next shop! Its even got a "beer drinkin' porch"!! :thumbup:

From what knives I have I most often grab the SHe and the AD. That combo does it all.

 

[jokrswylde]

For a true bushcraft type knife, I would say the Active Duty or Leaner Meaner Street.

IMO, I don't think there is a true bushcraft style knife in the Busse lineup . This all depends on your idea of a bushcraft knife, but the bushcraft peoples have a set style of knife. It is usually a thin, spear point, scandi grind in the 3 1/2'' to 4 1/2'' range, with a handle that is shaped to be held in any postion you can think of (another personal preference).

Hmmm, an INFI 4 1/4'' cutting edge, .170 thick, full height grind, spear point, zero edge, no choil what so ever , with a handle shaped just like the Game Wardens'...........WHOA :thumbup: .

C'mon Jerry, Where's the Busse Bushcrafter !

I got dibs on testing the prototype if Jerry were to ever try somehting like this!

 

[papathud]

I tend to lead toward a large strong knife, a small strong knife and a pocket knife for the big outdoors.

In the past that for me meant a Straight handled Battle Mistress, a Basic #3 and a Super Leatherman tool.

This year I intend to do some skills practice with an AK, a Pork Belly Skinner and a Victorinox Multi tool.

The AK weighs 8 oz. more, a full half pound, the Vic tool, will be more comfortable to use, and cuts wire much better.

We shall see.

Well ,I just bought a FBM so I guess that is what I will be carrying for a while when I get it. Hopefully everything feels good with the knife I like the fact that it is over 2" wide. And 10" Long. you can't beat that. Looking for a great fit and finish also. Even though I plan on beating it senseless. For 430.00 you should get a pretty near flawless knife IMO. Although Busse has fallen short in this regard in the past. getting
off topic a bit here. Later, Jeff

 

[MORIMOTOM]

busse fallen short? say it aint so......

 

[Ian Allomes]

sjt or no for me

Exactly the same here. :thumbup:
