Who says it ain't a Bushcraft knife !!!

[pitdog]

I don't take my Knatchet out too much due to it's size, not that it's huge but I'm generally a small knife guy.
What I wanted to show with this post is that although the Knatchet might be larger than my normal EDC's it is still very capable of Bushcraft !

First task today was to split down some wood~

The Knatchet makes quick work of shaping the split wood~

Coming from you, that`s a compliment, you`ve got some nice blades. Maybe I should start making them again.

Look's like a Bushcrafter to me ! I like the style of the Knatchet It's a great design, And thank's for all the picture's "You make some nice Trap's, That's one thing I need to get good at Is the figure 4 trigger system" for deadfall's.

I forgot to add I like your guard dog Jack Russell's are Great !

This one is a modified figure 4, I find it much easier to make than a regular fig 4 and also easier to make more sensitive.

This article shows how to do them a little better than I could ever explain~

Bushcraft is a mindset...whether it's the very capable Knatchet or a simple piece of obsidian, skill comes from the user. Not taking anything away from the Knatchet of course What's interesting is that big knives can be used quite effectively for small knife chores. The only downside for most is carrying size, but that is more of a personal preference (or legal depending on your location).

It’s good to see you get the Knatchet out for a little bushcrafting love!

Sorry, I still believe I need one.

 

[Myal]

that is a nice knife , kinda ulu / hatchet / cleaver mixed breed

Bushcraft is just that .. any knife you are doing bushcaft with is I spose then a bushcraft knife I do not believe persoanly that you have to use a particular shape / style of knife for what you are doing to become bushcraft .

You are just proving that once you have the skills , you can just about turn your hand to anything to get the job done
