And yet\u2026 here we are again. I come to you with yet another <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/best-budget-bushcraft-knives\/\">budget-friendly bushcraft knife<\/a> for your consideration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look, I can\u2019t help it. I really <em>want<\/em> to find a great knife that won\u2019t break the bank. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ww2asy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elk Ridge model ER-555 bushcraft knife<\/a>, as it turns out, is a pretty good entry into the truly rock-bottom-dollar category.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elk Ridge Bushcraft ER-555 knife comes with a price tag of around $25. I\u2019ll tell you right now, it\u2019s a great knife for the money. Is it a great knife, period? I probably wouldn\u2019t go that far, but there\u2019s a lot about the ER-555 that makes it a really solid choice for entry-level bushcraft.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_daed2b-f3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_daed2b-f3 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

lightweight one, considering its size. The knife sports a 5.5\u201d blade with a 5\u201d handle, and weighs about 8 ounces, not counting the sheath and other extras that come with it. The spine of the blade is 5mm (about 0.19) thick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of which, one of the selling points of this knife is that it comes with its own little \u201csurvival kit\u201d of sorts, which I\u2019ll talk more about later. The blade is a full tang, but is also skeletonized. I\u2019ll talk more about that too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);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_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_fe5066-5b\"><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 kb-theme-content-width\"><style>.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .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_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_b571da-c0{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_b571da-c0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_b571da-c0\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-blade-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_322f13-58, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_322f13-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_322f13-58\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_322f13-58 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_322f13-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_322f13-58\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_322f13-58 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_322f13-58\">Blade Shape &amp; Grind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elk Ridge Bushcraft ER-555 Knife has a sturdy drop-point blade with a deeply bellied cutting edge. It\u2019s fiercely sharp, and I was able to shave the hairs off my arm with it right out of the box. It has a high hollow grind with a secondary bevel, and it absolutely melts through wood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spine and upper portion of the blade above the grind has some sort of black powder coat on it, which I suppose is there for looks. It does look pretty cool, but it serves no other purpose that I can see, and it will begin flaking off as soon as you start using your blade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spine is squared off, so it makes a good spark off a ferro rod. Contrary to some other reviews of this knife I\u2019ve read, you don\u2019t have to remove the black powder coat to make a spark. That being said, the act of striking the knife against a ferro rod will start to remove the coating anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);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_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_90f264-d9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_90f264-d9\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_90f264-d9\"><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 kb-theme-content-width\"><style>.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .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_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_f3d0b8-7c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-steel-grade-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_6b0d17-21, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_6b0d17-21[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_6b0d17-21\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_6b0d17-21 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_6b0d17-21[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_6b0d17-21\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_6b0d17-21 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_6b0d17-21\">Steel Grade &amp; Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The blade of the Elk Ridge <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/what-is-a-bushcraft-knife\/\">Bushcraft Knife<\/a> is made of 3cr13 stainless steel, which is\u2026 how shall I put this\u2026 cheap. But look, this is a cheap knife, so it shouldn\u2019t be terribly shocking to learn that it\u2019s made of cheap steel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, 3cr13 is not bad. It has great corrosion resistance, and it clocks a respectable 54 HRC on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. It offers respectable edge retention for a budget knife, but the good news is that it\u2019s tough and easy to sharpen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of real-world use, I tested this knife out on a wide range of bushcraft tasks, and the blade performs quite well. It\u2019s great for shaving tinder and making feather sticks, cutting notches in wood, whittling stakes, preparing food and cutting everything from ropes and paracord to small branches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ER-555 is also plenty tough enough for batoning. Having said that, I did start to notice some very small chips along the cutting edge after using the knife for some heavier chopping and batoning, so take that for what it\u2019s worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);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_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_2f612d-5a\"><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 kb-theme-content-width\"><style>.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .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_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_cbbf36-7e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_cbbf36-7e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/elk-ridge-bushcraft-er-555-knife-handle-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_18e2f9-1a\">Handle &amp; Grip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I find the handle of the Elk Ridge ER-555 to be good and grippy.

I think I have fairly average sized hands, but I could easily fit a fifth finger into the handle belly if I had one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The knife comes with either black or green scales. I got the green, and I like the woodsy look. You can also choose the version with brown Pakkawood scales, which is quite handsome.

But one of its big selling points is that it comes with a bunch of \u201cspecial features,\u201d and I have to tell you, I kind of hate this stuff. So bear with me here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elk Ridge ER-555 knife comes in a black nylon sheath, which is perfectly adequate, but also cheap and inexplicably complicated. It holds the knife securely and works for either vertical or horizontal carry, so it does the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s also kind of a pain to get the knife in and out, and there\u2019s a plastic buckle on the front that doesn\u2019t seem to have any purpose, other than providing inadequate closure to a separate compartment that contains some of the other \u201cextras.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those extras are a very coarse sharpening stone, a small ferro rod, and a metal key-like thing that I initially mistook for a striker to accompany the ferro rod. For the record, it 100% doesn\u2019t make a spark. What it does do is serve as a key to unscrew the scales from the knife handle, revealing a hidden compartment within.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside that compartment you will find a \u201csurvival kit\u201d consisting of two sewing needles, a length of thread and three matches.

It\u2019s a quality starter bushcraft knife, and it would also make a perfectly good \u2018beater\u2019 knife for someone who already owns a better knife but wants something they don\u2019t have to be too precious about.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also think this knife could make a great gift for someone who is considering getting into bushcraft. There might be folks out there who think having a couple spare matches hidden inside their knife handle is the coolest thing ever, and this would definitely be the knife for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I\u2019ve seen this knife take a little heat for on YouTube and in other reviews is that it\u2019s not <em>really<\/em> a bushcraft knife. And while it\u2019s true that \u201cElk Ridge Bushcraft\u201d is essentially just good branding, I think this is ultimately a non-issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all have our own definitions of what a true bushcraft knife is and should be, and some of us are sticklers more than others. You could probably more accurately call this a <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/the-best-swiss-army-knife-for-camping\/\">camp<\/a> knife or a survival knife if you prefer. Either way, I think it\u2019s a solid budget-friendly knife that holds its own in the under $30 category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve found this another budget-friendly bushcraft knife.
