BRKT BUSHCRAFTER IN HAND.JPGSo this came today...

Congrats!!

The Bushcrafter has become my favorite fire pit knife. Fantastic for batoning and feather sticks. I normally like thinner knives, but the Bushcrafter has really grown on me.

If I only kept one full-sized camp fixed blade, the Bushcrafter may be it...

My first impression was that it was too thick and heavy (I'm used to a mora no.1.) But after some hard use, I began to love it; it doesn't seem heavy anymore. My only complaint would be that they could've contoured the handle a bit more as it was a little blocky. However, this was easily fixed with a little sandpaper. I'm astonished by how well this 3v strops. I'll have to see if the steel performs differently after some sharpening. It did very well batoning through sand-covered logs.
Edit: This knife seems to be a do it all kinda tool. It batons, it carves, IT SLICES.

One more Bushcraft Scout in stock at DLT.

Thanks for sharing. A new batch is available for pre-order. I wait for a 1.25 bravo in magnacut (if it ever will be made).

Last week I found the Aurora scandi magnacut in my mailbox. Haven’t used it yet. Can’t wait to put my own edge on it and experience what this steel is all about.

They are still available at DLT.

Man, too many buns in the oven for me, but I would LOVE to get my hands on that knife someday. That one knife could get you through a lifetime of Bushcraft easy.

Somewhat comparable to your Bushcrafter I think. Lots of people like one or the other, and generally speaking it seems like guys with bigger hands like the Aurora better.

I haven't gotten to try one yet, but man is that knife a looker.

Sorry for quoting an old post, but man, what a great knife. The Bushcrafter has become my go-to fire pit knife.

I always thought he BK2 was a great example of how not to design a knife, because it was chonk gone too far. The Bushcrafter is without a doubt my chonkiest knife, but it feels oh so right.

Whatever do you mean?




Yeah, the BK2 has been relegated to the top of a closet for many years now...the crappy sheath definitely didn't help it any but at one pound and 1/4" stock it is definitely overkill. It's unique for sure, LOL!

Here's a pic of a looker...



I had a bushcrafter desert ironwood in 3V. We didn't get along very well. It's a pity i can't exactly remember why. Hope this posting about how great the knife is by you guys doesn't lead to another knife on my 'wanted list'.

Very nice!! I'm a big fan of the Aurora, it was my first BRK...I'm looking forward to hearing how the Scandi Magnacut performs after some use. Congrats!

I do like the blade profile i tend to prefer less belly.

I didn't like how thick it was until i realized it could slice too. (The Bushcrafter that is)

That was my first experience too. Now I appreciate that I can smack it around a little bit.

Not only smack it around, but it literally peels wood effortlessly and is the perfect length for full leverage and control.

For me the longer a knife gets the less controllable it becomes...I could get by perfectly with only the Bushcrafter and the Mini Kephart...

But the Aurora LT, Mini-Aurora, LTWK GNS & LTWK Pronghorn would have much to say...they are all fantastic.

Bushcrafter, Mini-Kephart & LTWK Pronghorn were the knives that surprised me the most...too many choices, but good first world problems.

Back at home with the Bushcrafter tonight.

I just got the notification that my pre order BRK PSK EDC in Magnacut has come in. I haven't bought a BRK in quite a while, so I'm pretty excited to see this one. :)

Unfortunately, I'm traveling, so it'll probably get home before I will. Fortunately, I'm drinking a lot of rum on a beach in Belize, with my wife and kids (well, the kids aren't drinking rum).

Man, I am so jealous!

My free money is going elsewhere right now, but I'd love to pick one of these up. I think the PSK EDC may just be the perfect little EDC, and Magnacut is fantastic. Enjoy it, Tom!
