be.<\/strong> <strong>To make the list you needed to be $35 or less!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In making this list, I revisited a lot of knives I\u2019ve used and loved over the years, and many that cost less than $30 as little 10 years ago now retail for $60 or more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blame inflation, or the supply chain, or corporate greed. Blame whatever you want, but good stuff just ain\u2019t cheap these days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, there are some solid options out there. For the purposes of this roundup, we set a budget of $35 and looked around to see just how good a knife that would buy. And although we ended up testing a lot of <em>very<\/em> disappointing knives in that price range, we also uncovered some diamonds in the rough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting upfront that you simply can\u2019t get a perfect knife for $35. You pretty much always have to sacrifice something at that price point. You might end up with a razor-sharp blade that has zero corrosion resistance, or you get a knife with a great blade and a mediocre handle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it goes. If you <em>really<\/em> want a great knife, save up for an extra week or two and spring for something in the $50-$70 range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you just want a quality starter knife for bushcraft, or you\u2019re just curious to see what $35 will buy you, then you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by some of these budget bushcraft knives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_52a958-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_52a958-70 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">BPS Knives HK5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ukrainian-made<\/strong> BPS knives have seen a major uptick in popularity in 2022, and the HK5 is a standout bushcraft model in their lineup. This list isn\u2019t really intended as a best-to-worst ranking, but I have to say that the BPS Knives HK5 is one of the budget bushcraft knives that impressed us the most this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HK5 has a <strong>5.1-inch drop point blade made of 1066 carbon steel.<\/strong> This thing is scary sharp right out of the box. The scandi grind maintains its edge shockingly well, even after being put through a rigorous series of cutting tests. It\u2019s <strong>not high-end steel<\/strong> by any means, but it does the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to easily handling bushcraft tasks big and small, this knife also fits very well in hand thanks to finger grooves in the <strong>walnut wood handle. <\/strong>The <strong>sheath<\/strong> is made of handsome, sturdy <strong>leather.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this knife has an <strong>Achilles\u2019 heel, it\u2019s moisture.<\/strong> The steel has little to no corrosion resistance, so it\u2019s important to keep your blade oiled, especially if you live in a humid climate. Otherwise, it will start to rust merely from contact with the air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BPS makes a bunch of different style knives that are essentially made of the same stuff. We also <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/bps-knives-adventurer-bushcraft-knife-review\/\">reviewed the BPS Knives Adventurer Bushcraft Knife<\/a> this year, which is very similar to this one, albeit a little bigger and with a different handle. That knife would have made this list too if it was a few dollars cheaper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_46479c-93 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_46479c-93\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_46479c-93\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_11a559-9d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_11a559-9d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_11a559-9d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1-600x359.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1-500x299.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/MORA-Kansbol-best-budget-bushcraft-1-800x478.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/socalbowhunter.com\/2020\/07\/gear-review-morakniv-kansbol.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Picture From SoCal Bohunter<\/a> &#8211;

The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CuKaWy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mora Garberg<\/a> is an all-time classic, and this model\u2014the Kansbol\u2014is essentially a <strong>budget-friendly <\/strong>cousin to that iconic knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One major sacrifice is that the Kansbol is only a <strong>\u00be tang<\/strong> compared to the Garberg\u2019s full tang. Ordinarily, I\u2019d give a hard \u2018no\u2019 to any bushcraft knife that isn\u2019t a full tang, but this one surprised me. I\u2019ve never heard of anybody breaking one of these.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mora Kansbol has a fairly <strong>unique blade.<\/strong> A little lighter than the Garberg, it has a multi-grind edge with both a Scandinavian grind that\u2019s great for <strong>carving and whittling,<\/strong> and a flat grind that\u2019s ideal for <strong>slicing and preparing food.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes this a very handy and versatile outdoor knife for <strong>hunting, camping and bushcraft. <\/strong>The blade is made of <strong>\u201crecycled Swedish stainless steel,\u201d <\/strong>so its exact makeup is anybody\u2019s guess, but it\u2019s corrosion-resistant, holds an edge well, and has a ground spine that allows it to strike a surprisingly good spark with a ferro rod.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kansbol has a <strong>4.3-inch blade (total length: 8.9 inches), and weighs a trim 4.7 oz. <\/strong>It has a hard plastic\/polymer sheath and handle, and the handle also features a soft friction grip and finger guard to keep it locked into your palm while in use.&nbsp;You can <a

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joker Arrui 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a knife that really took us by surprise. For a budget bushcraft knife, this little guy can stand up against some knives that cost quite a bit more. It certainly gives BPS a run for its money, and may be even better in terms of pure cutting power. This thing is <em>sharp<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first let\u2019s talk about size. A lot of people might assume that this knife is 10 inches long because it\u2019s called the Arrui 10. Even Amazon\u2019s listing says 10\u201d, but in fact it\u2019s about <strong>8 inches in total length. <\/strong>The knife (which is made in Spain, where the metric system rules) has a 10 centimeter blade, hence the name.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, this is a beautiful little bushcraft knife with a razor-sharp edge. It\u2019s adept as <strong>slicing, carving and shaving, <\/strong>and would make a great hunting knife for preparing game. In addition to being very sharp, it\u2019s also plenty strong enough to baton with, though its size somewhat limits its abilities there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Joker Arrui 10 is made of <strong>420 stainless steel,<\/strong> which has pretty good corrosion resistance and scores 52 to 54 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. The square spine makes a great spark off a ferro rod.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The handle of the Arrui 10 is made of beautiful olive wood. <\/strong>It\u2019s as grippy as one could expect a wood handle to be, and there\u2019s some thumb jimping toward the rear of the spine for extra hold. One small nitpick for me is that I\u2019d like the knife to feel a little more secure inside the leather sheath, but overall the Joker Arrui 10 gets high marks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_bdb425-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_bdb425-95 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benkey Fixed Blade Hunting Knife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Benkey <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/best-fixed-blade-edc-knives\/\">Fixed Blade<\/a> Hunting Knife is a really beautiful knife. If we were reviewing knives on looks alone this would be an absolute winner. Luckily, this knife has a few other things working in its favor too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring <strong>9.25 inches with a 4.72-inch blade,<\/strong> the Benkey is a fairly large knife, and its <strong>6.74 oz weight<\/strong> puts it somewhere near the middle of the pack in terms of heft. It\u2019s balanced, well-crafted, and clearly made of good materials <strong>(D2 steel, natural rosewood handle).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet something about the way this knife performs keeps me from giving it an unblemished review. It just doesn\u2019t seem to handle finer tasks like shaving and whittling very well. It might have something to do with the hollow grind, but I can\u2019t make feather sticks with this knife with any degree of success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not like it isn\u2019t sharp. My Benkey Fixed Blade Knife passed the paper test with flying colors as soon as I got it, and continues to do so after repeated use. The D2 steel is both high-carbon and high-chromium, so it has excellent hardness and edge retention in addition to being corrosion resistant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But hey, sometimes you can\u2019t have it all for $35! Ultimately, I\u2019d say this is a <strong>better hunting knife than an overall bushcraft knife<\/strong>, and if that\u2019s the primary way you intend to use your blade, then this is definitely one worth considering.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_31deca-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_31deca-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">iFIELD Survival Knife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, this one is kind of a sleeper. I must&nbsp; say, iFIELD was not a brand I had ever heard of, and I didn\u2019t know what to expect when I ordered their Survival Knife, but I\u2019ll be the first to admit that I\u2019m pleasantly surprised.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iFIELD Survival Knife measures <strong>8 inches total, with a 3.9-inch blade.<\/strong> The handle is a beautiful black Micarta, which is contoured nicely to fit an average-sized hand, though some reviewers have noted that it feels a little small.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These knives are <strong>made in Spain with MOVA-58 stainless steel. <\/strong>This is a pretty cool grade of Spanish steel that clocks an impressive 58 (hence the name) on the Rockwell Hardness scale. The edge retention on this knife is quite impressive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a great slicer and feels good in hand, but much like the Benkey there\u2019s something about the grind that makes this knife less than ideal for what I consider to be essential bushcraft tasks. It\u2019s sharp as the dickens, and handles soft materials and food prep like a champ, but it tends to get stuck a lot when attempting to cut harder stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, the iFIELD Survival Knife is a great value in a budget survival knife. It\u2019s <strong>lightweight<\/strong>, and comes with a basic (but perfectly adequate) leather sheath.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_0a7287-09 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_0a7287-09\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_0a7287-09\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_007a4a-ca{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_007a4a-ca > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_007a4a-ca\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nedFoss-fixed-blade-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns_24f655-d4{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:var(--ast-global-color-5);background:#ff9900;border-color:#555555;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#ff9900;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns_24f655-d4 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kt-btn-align-center kt-btn-tablet-align-inherit kt-btn-mobile-align-inherit kt-btns-wrap kt-btns_24f655-d4\"><div class=\"kt-btn-wrap kt-btn-wrap-0\"><a class=\"kt-button button kt-btn-0-action kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-style-basic kt-btn-svg-show-always kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MAzPwU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Shop On Amazon<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NedFoss Fixed Blade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great knife for the price. The NedFoss brand has made a name for itself in recent years by making solid, budget-friendly bushcraft and pocket knives, as well as throwing knives and axes. The NedFoss Fixed Blade is a nice entry into the bushcraft realm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The knife measures 8.5 inches, with a 3.5-inch drop-point blade. It has a full flat grind, allowing it to melt through materials with great ease. From cutting and slicing to shaving tinder and even batoning, the blade handles a wide range of tasks assuredly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blade is made of 440 stainless steel, which has excellent hardness and decent edge retention. It\u2019s fair to say you\u2019ll have to sharpen it a bit more often than some other knives. It\u2019s decently corrosion resistant, but a little less so than some stainless steels, so a bit of care is warranted there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like the handle as well. It\u2019s contoured to give you great control in various hand positions, and the rugged G2 material (made of resin-soaked fiberglass) is durable, impervious to moisture, anti-slip and I must say, easy on the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NedFoss Fixed Blade also has a thick spine for extra strength, with some good jimping toward the rear. It comes in a very nice Kydex sheath that allows for either vertical or horizontal carry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_be7846-7c >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schrade SCHF59<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Schrade SCHF59 Fixed Blade isn\u2019t designed specifically as a bushcraft knife in the strictest sense. But it\u2019s a great, versatile belt knife that serves a lot of different purposes. And at this price point, it would be hard to argue that it isn\u2019t a great value for the money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve bought a few Schrade knives over the years that are very similar to this one, albeit slightly different styles, and have always been happy with their performance. This particular model features a <strong>3.8-inch drop point blade, and measures 8.4 inches in overall length.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It weighs 6.2 ounces, so it\u2019s got some solid heft to it, but is plenty light enough for comfortable belt carry. It comes with a nice thermoplastic cheetah with a ferro rod that slips into its own little holster on the side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steel is 65mn, which is a pretty decent Chinese carbon steel. Mine came just shy of shaving-sharp, but the steel sharpens easily. It has no real corrosion resistance, but the blade has a black powder coat that protects all but the cutting edge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle of this knife is a bit of an acquired taste. The molded G10 is moisture-resistant and grippy as all get out, but it does have some harsh edges to it, and the scales don\u2019t really line up with the tang. That can result in some sore hands after repeated use. That said, the scales are easy to remove and replace if you\u2019re inclined to make an upgrade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_af89b6-a7 >

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elk Ridge ER-555BK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its <strong>5.5-inch drop-point blade and 10.5-inch overall length,<\/strong> the ER-555BK Bushcraft Knife from Elk Ridge is the <strong>longest knife<\/strong> that made our list. It&#8217;s also pushing the Bushcraft limit and is almost more of a survival knife. Sheath included, it weighs about a pound, making it one of the heftier entries as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We actually tested two versions of this knife, the wood handle above and the polymer that is also available. The wood handle leaves a lot to be desired and has a ton of hot spots. Skip the wood and get the ploy handle, it was a night and day difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elk Ridge comes shaving-sharp right out of the box, and its heavy-duty blade holds up well to some of the more demanding bushcraft tasks like batoning firewood. It has a black powder coat finish on the upper half of the blade, which doesn\u2019t serve much purpose other than aesthetics, though I suppose it does give one\u2019s thumb a bit of purchase on the spine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blade is 30Cr13, a low-end Chinese martensitic stainless steel. The steel quality is nothing to write home about, but it is corrosion resistant and holds an edge pretty well. It also creates a surprisingly good spark with a ferro rod, though doing so involves chipping off the black finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle is some sort of plastic\/polymer (not a lot of specific information is available on this one) and it has a good, grippy texture to it. The sheath is a good-not-great woven black nylon model that feels like it\u2019s more complicated than it needs to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A real bonus is that the knife <strong>comes with a fire starter, sharpening stone and \u201cmini survival kit\u201d <\/strong>tucked into a pouch in the sheath. That makes this a solid entry-level option if you\u2019re looking to collect a few bushcraft essentials at a rock-bottom price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_210955-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_210955-60\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_210955-60\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_65769d-9f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_65769d-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_65769d-9f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Tested The Best Budget Bushcraft Knives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our knife tests are not scientific but focus more on real-world use and durability. Before we take any knife out in the field or on a camping trip we first do a whole bunch of cutting and carving tasks, start a few fires with a ferro rod and carry the knife for a little while. It\u2019s during actual use that the flaws and idosrycinseries of a knife really come out. Just cutting some twine on your workbench doesn&#8217;t always show the true nature of a knife. Out in the field and on a backpacking trip is where you really learn about the knife. <strong>The knives that made our final list all have been personally tested by us and have our stamp of approval.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery
