What are the best bushcraft knives of 2023?

Morakniv is a Swedish brand, famous for their outdoor knives that are perfect for bushcrafters. Unsurprisingly, we've put one of their knives at the top of this list. This knife is the 'hunting' version of the Morakniv Kansbol, a very popular bushcraft knife. Although this knife does not have a full-tang construction, it makes up for it with its excellent cutting capabilities. The tip of the blade has an extra thin grind, perfect for the most precise cutting tasks. The base of the blade is thick, so you can still use it to cut through wood. These new colours are perfect for bushcrafters who like to be able to spot their knives in case they drop it on the forest floor, or for hunters who want to match the knife with their clothing.

This BeaverCraft BSH3 Bushcraft Knife Carbon a robust bushcraft knife for a great price. The droppoint blade with scandi edge is perfect for bushcraft tasks such as wood carving. This knife has a full-tang construction, making it a very sturdy knife. The blade has a thickness of 2.5 mm. This is thick enough to create a strong knife but thin enough to be suitable for food prep. The beautiful leather sheath with dangler completes the picture, as it allows you to carry the knife comfortably at your side wherever you go.

The Marttiini Lumberjack is a real lumberjack, true to its name. This Finnish brand stayed true to the traditional Finnish puukko design. The carbon steel blade with its scandi grind is perfect for precise cutting tasks like making feathersticks or filleting fish. The low height of the blade ensures enhanced dexterity while cutting. It's a design that has proven itself throughout the centuries.

The Morakniv Wit from their Ash Wood collection. Actually, we would have liked to add the entire Ash Wood collection to this list, because they're all great. The Wit is the middle of the three in terms of size, and this knife has a great balance to it. Morakniv also classifies this knife as a bushcraft knife, and we agree. The blade is large enough for some heavy-duty tasks and small enough for precision work. The blade is made from stainless steel, so it's low maintenance and suitable for food preparation. The perfect all-rounder!
