that depends on another your preference. I own the koster and a lot of barkies. for bushcraft I prefer a mora hands down. I would take a mora and a busse over those models any day. the mora is for mare useful with its scandi grind. the koster has a scandi grind but the mora works much better. if I want a knife that will do that and be able to baton, I choose a bussemuk.
Well, bushcraft knives look the way they do for a reason, it’s got nothing to do with my personal preference. As for the scandi vs. convex grids – now that would be a personal preference. I prefer convex because the edge is better supported and it’s easier for me to maintain the edge out in the field.
I agree - a Mora is great – the best $12 you’ll ever spend, but it ain’t no Barkie or Koster, that’s for sure.
As for all Busse kin knives, well, they simply are the toughest knives out there. No questions.
Now, muks are an interesting breed. Personally I don’t understand the reason for a nessmuk except perhaps for the historic fascination. The blade has no point to speak of, the shape is almost that of a skinner, but too big, yet the blade is not really long enough for chopping. Perhaps the knife was someone’s idea of an ideal camp knife, but I just don’t see it. Maybe someone here can explain the attributes of a muk to me?

Come on guys --- different strokes for different folks! They're ALL good!
Just respectful debate, nothing more. You are right, there are many good knives on the market today. In fact, I appreciate many manufacturers out there. In the end, it’s just a tool that requires some skill.
