Tell me what my next knife should be

[rodogg]

Trying to figure out what knife I should buy next. If I had plenty money I'd buy them all, but I don't

The options:

An ML Kephart, or other ML knife
A Becker BK-16 or 17
Bark River Bravo-1 or Aurora (probably too expensive but I'll leave it as an option)
This: https://www.brisa.fi/portal/index.p...d=product_info&cPath=119_112&products_id=3036 and put a handle on it myself

Or some other knife you would recommend?


Or else someone can buy me a Winkler knife Thanks!

For bushcraft knives, on your list I'd go with the ML Kephart. Take a look at JK Knives, they (John) offer a Kephart pattern as well as other excellent bushcraft knives. I found an older review of a JK Kephart with some nice size comparison shots:

Here's a link to his models and pricing: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...K-Handmade-Knives-Models-And-Pricing-For-2012

Good luck.

I personally own and love the bravo 1 you probably can find one for under 150 conservatively one the used market. You may have to wait and keep looking a bit but it's my bushcrafter of choice.

I had the Bravo 1 and it just didn't do it for me. Something about the positioning of the thumb ramp just didn't feel right and I don't like the depth of the blade particularly. I've just ordered a Becker BK-16 and can't wait to get it as I already have a number of Beckers. Also worth considering in that sort of size/price range are the ESEE 4 and Fallkniven F1 and S1, all of which I own and love.

Becker, Busse, Kershaw... pick your poison.
