<h2><strong>Things To consider Before Buying <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Bushcraft Knife</span> [Buyer’s Guide]</strong></h2>
<iframe src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/nvK9KrD09mw” width=”853″ height=”480″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen” data-mce-fragment=”1″></iframe>
<h3><strong>Material (Blade Material)</strong></h3>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This is the first thing to consider before buying a bushcraft knife or any other type of knife. You need to make sure to choose a good quality material. Because it’ll affect how things go for you in the outdoor journey. </span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>But the main question is which one to choose? There are too many options in the market like stainless steel, carbon steel or super steel.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>These steel have different types of properties and drawbacks. So to make things easy for you these are my best rated steel materials.</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”><strong>Carbon Steel</strong>:</span>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>O1</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>1085</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>CPM D2</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>52100</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>5190</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>1095</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>1080</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>D2</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>A2</span></li>
</ul>
<strong>Stainless steel:</strong>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>CPM 154cm</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>VG 10</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>CPM S35V</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>CPM 3v</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>440c</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Blade Grind:</strong></h3>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Blade grind means “what type of shape does the blade’s cutting edge has”</span>

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>These are the best grind:</span>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Flat Grind</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Convex Grind</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Scandinavian / Scandi Grind</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Chisel Grind</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Knife’s Handle:</strong></h3>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Handle is another important thing to consider before buying a knife. Because there’s nothing worse than an uncomfortable and weak handle. So make sure to choose a comfortable and strong handle. </span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>These are few handles that I like (G10, Micarta ).</span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> </span>
<h3><strong>Shape and Size</strong></h3>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>I know big Bushcraft knife looks cool. But let’s admit it, it’s hard to carry and manage. So make sure to choose a medium sized knife. The best size for bushcraft knife is 89mm (3.5”) to 152mm(6”). </span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Make sure to choose a good shaped knife. You don’t want to go too pointy or blunt. Drop point and the spear point is the best type of shape for bushcraft knife.</span>
