Knife for Bushcraft and Outdoors

[Pr3inar]

Jelio is a maker, one guy, not a company. His name is Zehlyo Tenev and he lives in Bulgaria......His stuff is top notch but not cheap.

Was a bit surprised about the unorthodox steel choices for a puukko, v4e, magnacut and elmax. They looked very nice, yours in particular with that birch handle!

Jelio has used a number of modern steel types in his knives. This one is 80CrV2.
Birchbark is a traditional handle material thats been used for many many years on knives made in that part of the world. Left untreated with epoxy or other sealants its very grippy, not unlike micarta, and never seems to feel cold.

Old school survival knife from Russell Green River Works, as was used for more than a century by those who traveled West in America......still being produced and still well under $100....

8" Marttiini Lapinleuku, another design thats been around for a very long time and is still not expensive.....

Mora #2 with a small 3/0 companion blade in a Bushgear Leatherworks sheath, and a #2 in a Bagwell kydex sheath. One of the best inexpensive and best performing outdoors type knives around, still being today, still cheap.....

A bit more expensive and quite useful is the Stromeng KS5F

Moving upwards in cost, a spalted birch puukko from Rick Nurmi

The one you have on you. This could range from a SAK to a machete. My pref would be something like a Benchmade Puukko 200: light, sturdy, good grippy handle.

My vintage Gerber USA Pro-Guide IIs are still getting the job done, 20-some years later. Long-discontinued, so price is whatever you are willing to pay someone who is willing to sell, assuming you can find that person.

My other outdoors knives are my Benchmade 190 Drop Point Hunter & 192 Bird and Trout Knife, plus my Gransfors Bruks Mini Belt Hatchet. These are also all about 20 years old, but the Benchmades honestly don't do much work, unlike the hatchet, because I have the Gerbers. The Benchmades, like the Gerbers are long-discontinued, but Gransfors still makes the Mini Belt Hatchet, only it's now called the Mini Hatchet or Small Hatchet. $183 USD from GransforsUS.com. I paid $90 for mine at the WoodenBoat Show in Newport, RI, about 20 years ago.
