Bushcraft is a popular term for survival skills in the wild. A high-quality bushcraft knife should be versatile and strong. It should combine the qualities of a knife for hunting, fishing, tourism and survival. There are many different types of bushcraft knives, but they all have a sharp, durable tip and a durable blade, usually of full tang construction. This makes them suitable for many different outdoor tasks: making a fire, building a shelter, cooking food. A good bushcraft knife will handle all of this. From survival knives, bushcraft knives are more compact in size. This knife is easy and convenient to carry. Survival is usually associated with extreme situations, and bushcraft is the art of living in the wild and enjoying it.
How to choose a bushcraft knife? Firstly, it is absolutely not necessary to be limited to one model. A knife with a thickness of 3-4 mm will be more suitable, for example, for chopping and heavy work, and a knife with a thin blade is lighter and more convenient to use for wood carving, small outdoor tasks. The handle of a bushcraft knife can be made of wood, plastic or rubber. It should be comfortable and non-slip.
Bushcraft knives come with both carbon and stainless steel blades. Carbon steel is stronger and easier to sharpen. These are important qualities in the field and forest. However, such steel rusts, and this is a significant disadvantage. Stainless steel bushcraft knives are harder to sharpen and less durable. However, many modern types of stainless steel retain their sharpness better than some types of carbon steel. All bushcraft knives are equipped with sheath for easy carrying.
