Let's see you favorite bushcraft knife...... In my opinion there's no debating that a good knife is one of the best tools in the Bushcrafter's arsenal, perhaps 2nd only to his/her mind So what ever your choice is Mora, Buck, Skookum, Opinel......Let's see em...But only the real deal, No safe queens Please... Nothing crazy for me a simple carbon mora companion gets it all done   |

Good thread! Love seeing dirty knives.  Quickly becoming this guy but it needs the scales glued.  But I'm not sure it can de-throne my BCNW. Great blade. This picture is very old, it has a lot of character these days.  |

Was wondering what you'd think of that one! It's unique for sure. Very rotund handle, and pretty beefy for a scandi. Not as slicey as a Mora, but a little more robust.

It's a real beauty rides well in the handand no apparent hotspots...scandi sharp, but robust enough to be a stand alone knife I 'd think...It really is a sweet blade.

It's quite a capable chopper...I love the hook on the handle, makes it great for choking down on the handle for maximum choppage. and the flat grind and fine point make it capapble for lighter work..It;s a winner all around

My thoughts exactly! It's a real sleeper. And you don't appreciate most of it until you use it for a while.
I just picked one up for crazy cheap, so if you like it enough to put in 'rotation', just hang on to it. I'd rather it get the extra dirt time than collect dust as a backup. Same with the khuk. What were your impressions of that one too, by the way?

Wow Spooky, That's mighty fine of you, I'll be sure to give them some dirt time..They are both brutal hunks of steel that will definitely see a fair amount of use...I'll put themin a vid as soon as I can.
I've gotten rid of most of my knives..actually I have a box of moras, 1 custom a bk9 and few folders...that's all I use most of the time// so the new steel will be pitted against the bk9 in competition for a pack knife...Just out of curiosity have you ever tried the Vic OHT (nonserrated)?

There is something about the spartan hideousness of a mora that I'can't resist...

For years, all I ever used was a Mora and a Buck 112. I don't really have a favourite bushcraft knife anymore. It's just whatever I have with me, although a favourite small user is my Izula II - love that knife. I also think my Bark River Gunny will be useful, although I haven't really had it out to play, yet.
ETA: I forgot you wanted to see pictures of the non-safe queens:
