Also know the difference between a "bushcraft knife" and a survival knife.

If you are only going to carry a single blade, you are more likely to want something beefy like the BOSS Street because you're staking everything on that one blade.


On the other hand, "traditional" bushcraft generally goes under the assumption of carrying three blades - an ax, a belt knife, and a pocket knife. I personally prefer to replace that ax with a chopper knife, which I find to be more versatile, but I've almost always got all three on my person when I venture into the woods.


If you're going into the woods with just one bladed tool on your person, you need to ask yourself what tasks you will be hoping to accomplish with that blade, and choose accordingly. If only carrying one knife, I'd be far more likely to choose something larger than the BOSS Street, so it could carry out bigger jobs than the BOSS Street is suited for.

And if carrying two, a BOSS Street still probably wouldn't be in the running, because I would want something with a better balance of weight to slicing ability for my smaller knife.




But all of that is tempered by the way *I* personally use knives. No one can answer that question for you, because your skill set and your needs from a knife are likely to be different from mine. Mine is also based on a decade or two of using knives a lot, so I've had plenty of time to develop my own preferences.
