  Idk, I can't say there's any difference, at least not in terms of survival vs bushcraft. What knife is best for survival matter on where and how you plan on surviving. Personally I only use scandi knives, because that's what I like and frankly theoretical benefits of other knife types don't really matter since I can do everything I need with it. Bottles and cans are just as easy to open with them. On other hand, you can't really work wood easily with normal grind. Ofc, I'm just talking in general terms, if you were hunter or something you might need other type of knife. On other hand, if you didn't know anything about outdoors, and lived in city, normal grind might be great for EDC and protection.

• 
  @artoftheoutdoors6 күн бұрын

  I would say for trekking with your axe in your pack, somewhere around 30-40cm is ideal

  I went on my first bushcrafting camp trip for this last 1 1/2 months (bro and I bought some property and were looking to build), and I learned the hard way those cheap axes are not worth it. we bought a cheap 20 dollar estwing and it was garbage. I splite one piece of pine with it and the edge chipped and rendered it useless. Question: Would that Huskafor Ekeland hunters axe be good for general wood processing, splitting and felling for homesteading projects? My brother and I will be camping on our property periodically as we build a house for our family and want to be sure we some good equipment. We learned some hard lessons about equipment failure if you go too cheap and don't quite know what works best depending on the conditions you're working in. Thank you for the video, and I hope to hear your opinion on what might work best for my circumstance.

  I’m not big on hatchets in general, except as a dedicated kindling tool. I don’t want to knock them, but I prefer a large knife and “medium” axe. My current axe choice (to buy soon!) is 23” handle, 1.5lb head and 2.5lb total. More than 3” if cutting edge. I suspect it’ll be awkward to pack. But the weight is reasonable. The length is good for bigger efforts. I like the GB small forest axe dimensions. 19-20” handle is even easier to pack. Less reach but same head weight and edge. This is what I’d travel with. I’m not anti-hatchet, so in a group, I’d love to have a couple people with hatchets and maybe someone with a full length axe.

  I consider 'Survival' to be unintentional bushcraft. Therefore which knife is better is a moot point because it doesn't matter what knife you have as long as you have one. All my 'kits' have a Mora and an axe, because I don't want to baton wood apart or use a knife to fall a tree. Meanwhile on my belt is a heavy bladed knife and a multitool. Also several folders reside in my pockets for other uses. The best Survival Knife is the one you have on you when you find yourself in a Survival situation. The best bushcraft knife is the one that fits your skills and what you expect it to do.

  The best knife is the one you are carrying on you. Here in Britain we have been and it is getting worse, illegal to be carrying knives in public places, what is public, well that is the big question. Is walking in the woods or up a mountain on a foot path “in public “ probably but isn’t those places exactly where you may need a knife. This country has gone stupid 😢

  I think there are two sides of this question. One is about the knives. Survival knives are usually thicker, stronger and longer than practical or comfortable. We can say that those knife should survive almost anything. They are almost not good for anything, but can be used for lots of things a normal knife cant do. I think a softer stainless steel is best choice for them which wont brake, brittle and easy to sharpen it without special sharpeners. A bushcrafting knife blade could be any type, what the users want, but they are much smaller, much nimble, but still has fairly thick blade with a strong edge. Not good for kitchen task, but much better than a survival knife. The second part is the philosophy of the two things. Bushcrafting is like a higher level of camping, learning tricks, things about it. Surviving knife is a bullshit. If you can prepare for some kind of survival situation, you dont really need a "survival knife", because you will have lots of different knives, axes, saws, special knives for crafting, building, carving. If you cant prepare you dont have a survival knife with you at all. Maybe some kind of EDC, but not a survival knife. Maybe if you need to travel outdoor very lightly for weeks, a survival knife looks good, but again if you can prepare, you will have 2 knives at least with you.
