I just took a long look at the BHK site. The Bushcrafter looks similar to the GSO 4.1. If the GSO isn't a Scandi-grind, then I think I know what to do...

I haven't found much about the Survive blade's grind. Looks Scandi, but I'd rather see it in a stats listing before tossing $200 at it.

I must have one. Too bad the V3 run is sold out. I wonder whether it's best to wait on another, or go for the Bohler...

KWilliams40, are you an axe guy as well? I'm about to retire my fibreglass handled Gerber axe. I've ordered a small Wetterlings hand axe, and am looking at the Gransfors hunting axe as a main tool during deer season...

I have a Wetterlings Large Hunting Axe. I'll probably get the Gransfors equivalent also...

When it comes to combat knives, does anyone really intend to use them as such?
Don't get me wrong, I like them too but have never found them really good for anything in the field.
Have or have had FS, EK, Gerber mark 2 and a few others, I've found more use from my old Cold steel master hunter in carbon steel and my Gerber tactical folder.

Other than collectors of such,all the HOORAH guys have a need,sorta like AR 15s and AKs,do you need them? (no) do they serve any usefull purpose other than punching holes in paper (no).JMO

Try www.survivalsheath.com. They might have an ankle setup.

I'd consider a combat knife a utility knife that can also be used to kill... KA-BAR USMC #1217, Randall #14, Cold Steel SRK, etc. The F-S, Randall #2, and Gerber Mark II are fighting knives...I guess you could use them for limited utility use too.
