is it a good bush craft knife
939233
Not sure what you mean bush craft. I lke these knives because they have carbon steel blade and are easily sharpened

Strait up no! This knife is 1095 carbon and begins to rust after just a few hours of being wet, further more the handle would not take the abuse of batoning and other stresses. Look at a blackbird with micarta grips, more expensive but well suited for the job

Dave Canterbury has used these before and says that for the price there is no better bushcraft knife.

It is a great knife, I generally use it in the kitchen or for skinning and butchering large wild game. The newer models aren't as sturdy as the older models but they are still a good full tang knife with a sturdy handle. Easily sharpened but blade thickness is slim so not practical for wood and they rust easily.

Heavy blade is easy enough to sharpen and stays sharp. Handles are tough. Its kind of big but it will take a beating. Not sure as I use it in the kitchen. If I wanted an outdoor survival style knife Id spend a bit more and go with a U.S. made k-bar style. Just my 2 cents. Good luck Ron

The reason I got this knife was because Cody Lundin used it on dual survival. He put it through a beating am it never broke. So I bought it and well, I have never broken it. It's a good sturdy knife. I use it for just about everything. It's a smaller fixed blade to obviously you won't be cutting down a tree with it, but for the size it is very practical and useful. If you keep a good edge on it, it will go far.

I'm not, it feels real secure in my hand while processing wood, this knife came very highly rated on YouTube reviews, also it's the best bang for the buck, you won't be appointed.

Yes, it is agreat knife, I have 2 of them, they are very sharp and I only have them sharpened professionally. Cooks Magazine reviewed a lot of knoves and this was #1, and the cheapest!!!

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.

Not a bushcraft knife, will maybe work for feather sticks but its a tactical knife.

I've found this one to be a good last resort type knife. I've tested it some just to see what it could do. It throws decent sparks from the spine off a ferro rod. It stays sharp and holds an edge pretty well and does decent work making feather sticks. The RSK does good work Skinning small game like squirels and gutting fish. I wouldn't use it to baton wood (But why would you want to with such a small blade) I swapped out the included cord for some paracord and tied it off to fit my hand. Used withing it's limits it's a great knife. Is it a primary cutting tool? No. But stashed in a survival tin and kept handy, it's better than most small folding knives.

the sk5 definitely has the requirements for a bushcraft knife and i carry it with me/in my car every day. there are knives out there that are spec'd more towards bushcraft than the sk5, but the sk5 is technically a survival knife.but in being a survival knife, youll be able to do everything you need to do in the bush, and a little heavier work as well. once you get one in your hand youll have to have one for yourself

I don't know. It was a Christmas gift to our oldest son and the knife is at his house. I would try to Google Ramblewood and see what you can find out.

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.

I really don't know ,I bought it for my son and he said it was a good knife .

This isn't the best knife you can buy by far. However, for $20.00 you'll be hard pressed to find something better. It is a good knock around the woods knife. Holds an edge well, I'm not crazy about the handle but I wrapped mine with paricord and I like it better. Like I said, this is a sturdy knife for the price. keep it oiled

Absolutely. This is an excellent bushcraft axe. The handle is as long as you would want for bushcraft, but easily carried on a pack.

yes.. it has a heavy front blade it's very good for chopping down small trees.you have the saw on on the back what is better for bigger trees .plus the handle is counterbalanced for the weight of the front so it doesn't feel like you have a heavy blade.plus you have the hook on that so who knows if you do with that.all in all it's a good knife.I bought that one for my buddy that works on Mount Hood .said he'd love that !!#)

It sure is, and very well built. I could carve an engine out of a block of steel with it before it would fail. An excellent knife!

I don't believe it is. But at the price you can't beat it. A Mora knife isn't either but still a trustworthy knife. I wouldnt trust it for heavy jobs but small skinning type jobs and things you would use a pocketknife for is perfect for this knife

A very good knife for the price. Good looking and sharp. I have not used it on a rabbit or deer.You can't go wrong for the price. MDH
