I think it's safe to assume when someone asks if a knife is good for "bushcraft" they most likely have little bushcraft experience. I'm not saying that as an insult to anyone, it's just that wouldn't someone who practices bushcraft (in the traditional way that James pointed out) know a good knife when they see one?

My point was that when someone asks about bushcraft it's nice to know what they interpret the definition to be. I like the word, but I don't use it to describe what I do in the woods because I define bushcraft in the same manner as James does. And like everyone else here, what works for me has been tried and tested by me (even thought I seem to always be improving my personal outdoor activity system) and the tools I use help me to have an enjoyable experience while in the woods.

It all comes down to getting out there and trying it out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
