Best Bushcraft Knife Review

First a bit of background on this Bushcraft knife review and why we feel its important to explain some of the features of each knife before you make a purchasing decision.

Bushcraft – is the art of being self-sufficient while out in the forests or on the land with limited supplies of tools and luxuries. You basically have yourself, your knife, the clothes on your back and little else. It is similar to Survivalism but not in anyway as hardcore. But that’s the beauty of it all.

It is a fading skill that past generations perfected but is getting lost in time. We want to a least bring some of it back here on this website and hope you can help us out.

Central to any bushman or bush crafting person is their trusty knife. You can use it for pretty much everything you need to do to survive. From protecting yourself from wild animals to making traps for those wild animals and then preparing them for a meal. Chopping up firewood, carving tools for survival, whittling fishing hooks, the list is endless. All it takes is some knowledge, a little imagination and a trusty knife.

We have picked what we think are the best bush craft or bush knives available today to give you an idea what to look for when making you choice to buy a knife for yourself.
