Have you considered a Bark River Aurora? Its a great Knife, A2 versions can be found for about 170.00 Last time I checked.
I really like the BRK bushcrafter and aurora but I always find the BRK handles way too slick. I really wish they offered a less polished micarta.Have you considered a Bark River Aurora? Its a great Knife, A2 versions can be found for about 170.00 Last time I checked.
I have handled the Snoddy and I liked it (big and small versions). It does have a thin handle that some would not like. I would have purchased one a couple of years ago if the sheath had a belt loop. I am not going to spend $ for another sheath. I don't routinely strap a knife to the outside of a bag or pack. I am concerned about loosing one there and quick access is seldom an issue with knives for me.Well, while I don't do "bushcraft" specifically, I do "outside stuff" religiously.
Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner and 162 Bushcrafter are pretty much the same, but I like the Skinner.
Bradford Knives makes awesome stuff.... the Guardian 4 with the 3D micarta scales fits your budget nicely. But I wouldn't adhere to your budget, I'd grab the Guardian 4.5 with 3D camo micarta scales for a mere $20 more.
Or for a mere $10 more, I would do the Southern Grind Jackal.
I don't own one, but the Ka-Bar Snody Big Boss is one I've been wanting to try out. Get one and post a review!
I think the Enzo Trappers are super underrated and don't get enough attention given the great price. I have had one in the past and really enjoyed it. I will get another at some point.Got an Enzo Trapper in N690 today. ( Similar steel to VG-10) Very nice knife if you want stainless and comes with a pretty well made dangler sheath. It's about the size of an F1.
Interesting. That's one I honestly would have to use before I could say I like to use it beyond what it looks like in a picture (which I like). I generally prefer a thinner profile for the outdoors.Habilis Bush Tool
Wow now that is different, but I can see it being useful. I had honesty never heard of this knife until your post. I have one of the habilis fire rods and it works great.Habilis Bush Tool
