Lots of people were excited to get their hands on a true bushcraft knife from one of the worlds top brands. The SpyderCo Bushcraft G10 Handle certainly had a lot to live up to.

The kit I use is always changing but one aspect has stayed the same for many years, the bushcraft knife on my belt. It was a solitary knife, scandi ground, 4 inches in length and with this I did all my bushcraft tasks. It worked well, so well in fact the method of using one knife of this particular style did not change.
