Thin fixed blade?

[readyme]

Where can I find a thin fixed blade knife for woods use?
This could be a "bushcraft" knife, but I prefer not to have to spend big $$ on a custom.

I am thinking something along the lines of a kephart or ESEE...but 3/32"

Can you post any suggestions?

The GSO 3.5 is 1/8". Other options would be various scandi designs.
Don't forget the Russell-Green River knives as well.

I've had several by G. L. Drew. Three-inch fixed blades; excellent workmanship. Nice and thin; 3/32" I'm pretty sure.
Keep in mind that these thin blades are not reco'd for heavy-duty bushcraft at all...but they are great slicers.

Mora no 1 and the standard Companion are 2.5mm thick. They cut wood, rope, and game/fish like the devil.

Get a Mora.

ESEE 3 is only an 1/8" with a full flat grind so most of the blade is fairly thin. Plus its got their warranty, you know if "things" happen...

Dogwood Custom Knives, you won't be dissapointed. :thumbup:

I'm waiting for the next batch of Bravo 1LT's from Bark River to hit the dealers. I wish dealers would call Mike and ask for more of them.

Old Hickory. You will have to find/make a sheath for it though. And the OH knives are just begging to be customized.

Moras are either .078", .098" or .126". The least expensive ones are also the thinnest ones.

3/32" = .09375"

I would also suggest a Mora Bushcraft Black (carbon). I have also enjoyed my Enzo Trapper in N69co. Another hall of fame bush, forest blade is my Kellam Wolverine, I believe it can be had for 100.00. And if you don't mind spending a little more income, I would highly recommend a Fallkniven S1 Forest knife, it is truly in my opinion a knife that can do all the small tasks, but if need be used to batton wood, and I've felled 5 inch diameter standing dead tree with it. Good luck.

If you want to buy from a maker here, this one looks pretty great for the money - nice and thin, fixed blade, carbon steel, tough and slicey

The Condor Bushlore and Becker BK16 are other great options for far less money.

Bushcraft Black is .126" thick, or 1/8".

Mora and Green River have been my most useful blades for hard use. I think those and ones in the same style are the best.
