Hi all,
This is my first post here at Bladeforums, although I’ve been interested in knives for a long time and am a member of several other bushcraft/knife forums.
I own a Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Black. (Plus some other folders)
I am thinking of getting a Real Steel Bushcraft II, but am not sure as to whether it would be worth it over my Mora.
Any opinions here on it?
 
The Real Steel is a well made, full tang, D2 steel knife. Your choice. Mora's don't appeal to me.
 
Welcome to the forum! That Real Steel Bushcraft II looks pretty nice as a general utility knife for light tasks. I'd definitely take that over the Mora knife. If you're looking for opinions on bushcraft/outdoors stuff be sure to check out The Great Outdoors subforums.
 
I have seem some negative reviews of the real steel bushcraft 2. Seems to be very easy to get chips in the blade and rusts easy.
I would go with a mora garberg for sure
 
I have several Real Steel knives, folders and fixed blades, and they are all very well made and perform really well.
 
I have the Real Steel Bushcraft Folder and no issues so far. It's very well made for the price, ergonomics are great and I love the D2 steel.

Do you think it would be strong enough for batoning? It certainly looks very well built!
 
I dont own a realsteel bushcrafter II but have eyed them for a bit. If you plan to baton i would suggest getting a cold steel ultimate hunter (which i do own) and can say it is plenty strong for any reasonable batoning you would be doing with a folder. Although i am sure it would handle it, batoning anything serious is a job for a fixed blade imo.
 
I own the Bushcraft Plus model which is probably very similar to the II. I like the knife, feels very solid and fits in my hand really well. I haven't beat the snot out of it though so I can't comment on long term durability, but so far it hasn't let me down. The sheath is meh though. It fits OK but it just doesn't strike me as what you want for a bushcraft knife. I'm also not a fan of retention straps that you can cut in half with one draw of the blade, and that's a strong possibility because the knife came razor sharp.
