Quality Bushcraft Knives

There are many quality Bushcraft Knives available to choose from.  They range in price from under $20 to over $200.  Quality varies significantly, but the many of the higher end knives are more for show than actual function. 

We don't advise Scouts or parents purchase expensive knives, as they will likely get lost or damaged through the course of the scouting experience.  It is easy to replace a lost $20 knife.  It is much more painful to lose a $200 knife on your first scouting outing.  A Scout or Adult is also more likely to use a $20 knife and get to know its limits and how to use it than a premium designer showpiece that stays in its sheath.

Of the many knives available on the market, we recommend Swedish-made Moraknivs.  We don't get any money or special perks for using this brand.  But from years of experience, we have learned the hard and expensive way that a $20 Mora meet the bushcraft needs for most and is a very affordable way of outfitting someone for Wilderness Survival.  It is unlikely that a Scout will wear through a Mora during their scouting career, even with heavy, repeated use.
