Is this knife roughly the same or maybe even better than the Bushcraft knife?

I don't have the Bushcraft, but it is indeed a heavy bladed nice sized knife. As previously answered if you need a hatchet get a hatchet, but if you need a knife for skinning and cutting through the pelvic bone or the rib cage of an elk, this will do the trick.

This knife is basically the same. The grip is generous and the blade extremely sharp, you could use a baton on the spine to split wood and the carbon blade allows you to rake a ferrous rod and create tremendous amounts of sparks for igniting tinder for a fire. An excellent value for a fine knife. This knife is not for hacking thru brush or felling trees.

I have an actual military issue pilot survival knife I carried while on the Army. I wanted a second one. After review, I went with the Ontario. I can't see any difference. The knife and even the sheath seem to be the same as the issue one to me.

I have the companion heavy duty and it is great. it was very sharp I purchase it and does not dull very easily. I've chopped wood with it and and all I have to do is run across my stone a few times and it's as sharp as it was when I bought it. a friend of mine has the companion and it's not much different from the heavy duty. overall great knife.

The blade is 4 inches, solidly made with good heft. Would definitely stand up to rough use. However for bush crafting my preference would be a multifunction blade with a hook and/or saw. A beautiful knife.

Hey Anthony,Yes the grind is tall but I love the knife. D2 is hard to sharpen but it holds a great edge. I highly recommend it for bushcraft!

I have checked it against the ones my mom and grandma have and they are identical in every detail! It is a very good knife! I recommend it to anyone looking for a good all purpose knife!

Yes it is. Best knife for the money. I beat up my knives and this one can take a beating

The Rambler is much sturdier than the Classic. The bottle opener is on the same 'blade' as the Philips screwdriver and is about three times thicker than the blade. At least twice as thick as the flat head screwdriver blade that doubles as a file. This is the only knife I carry on a daily basis - as a health care professional. I'm not on board ship or in a construction profession where you want a one-handed knife. This little knife has met my needs for years.

I just bought a new one to modify, I checked it with some of the older ones I own of which a few are so old they have lost the original shape from being sharpened so many times over the years. They are all the same thickness and I think some of them are from the first mfg. runs. They make for a good bush craft knife with some mods. Hope this helps you.

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

I own the F1 and am absolutely pleased with it. The knife is very sharp and has consistently stayed that way. The only thing I dlnt like about it, is that it is so light that you cant chop with it. I do a lot of bushcraft work so this kind of a downside. Now on that note the S1 is a little bit heavier and longer, so it might be better at chopping. But I dont have any personal experience with the S1. But I believe no matter which you get, both will serve you well. Now as far as a sheath goes that depends on what you want. The zytel is nice in the fact that its maintenance free. But the blade isnt a snug fit so it rattles a little bit. The leather obviously wouldnt have the rattling problem. But leather needs to be cared for. Hope that helped you decide. Good luck. Both will serve you well.

they appear very similar, the real difference is the sheath and grip, both are great field knives...

I compared the photo you sent with the one I purchased & everything looks exactly the same, even all the markings on the blade including the triangle markings. This is a well made knife & strong. I researched a site on YouTube before purchasing it. The AUS-8 steel is rated very good too. I was very happy with the purchase.

Yes. I own the rat5 along with several other higher quality blades. (Ie) Esee 4,5,6 BK-2 and three Ka-bars from when i served in the Marine Corps. I can honestly say the Sk5 is on my list of knives to own. The quality is all there and definitely worth the 30 bucks. If i could go back and do it again i would choose the Sk5 over the Rat5 based just on craftsmanship.

Scandie grind. I think 20 degree, but not sure. The knife comes with a bead]blast finish, which can easily be polished away. I don't think you'll find a better Bushcraft blade for the money. High carbon steel must be oiled to prevent rust.

Rodan I've been using for two years it's weird because it's too short to baton and kind of bulky for other tasks for a woods knife bushcraft I'd go with the bushlore
