The purpose of “survival experience” is “survival”, while the purpose of “bushcraft experience” is “enjoyment and coexistence” in nature. In a broad sense, both are outdoors, but they have different purposes. Bushcraft is a deeper and more naturally committed experience in the outdoors.

Il prezzo dei coltelli è molto alto e ne esistono di molti tipi.
Guardando il prezzo
Guardando il prezzo, se è economico, viene venduto a partire da $20 circa. Molte persone avrebbero dovuto trovarlo sorprendentemente economico. Esistono molti coltelli per abbottonare costosi che costano più di $100. Il prezzo sembra cambiare a seconda del paese di origine e dei materiali in acciaio.
Cos'è un coltello che sta nella tua mano?
For Bushcraft knives, use the “part that hits your fingertips” first while holding the handle and extending your index finger. Therefore, if the handle is too long, it will be difficult to handle. When choosing a bushcraft knife for the first time, choose one with a short blade. Also, make sure that it fits the shape of your hand when you grasp the grip.
Quando si sceglie un coltello, anche lo spessore della lama è importante
Knives with thin blades are generally considered unsuitable for batoning. The thicker the blade, the stronger the “tear” force of the knife, so it’s a good idea to check the thickness of the knife. In most cases, there is a notation.
Si consiglia la struttura completa della lingua
[D] in alto a destra è la struttura completa della lingua.
To put it simply, the full tongue structure is “a metal plate with a blade attached and the handle part sandwiched between materials to shape it.” Since the grip part and the blade part are integrated, it is a robust structure. In the case of tongue specifications that are up to half the length of the handle part, there is a possibility that the handle will be gouged from the inside during batoning.
Cos'è la selezione di coltelli da batoning? Come scegliere in base alla situazione
Qual è lo scopo
Forse l'unico scopo della scelta di un coltello è tagliare la legna, oppure voglio creare un cucchiaio o delle bacchette! Cose che possono essere usate anche per cucinare! Sembra che tu possa restringere le opzioni a seconda che desideri la multifunzionalità. Uso molti coltelli in Bushcraft oltre a intestare.
Lo usi sempre?
Since knives are tools, some people say, “If it breaks, I’ll buy it again, so it’s a good value.” Some people say, “I want to spend my entire life and enjoy sharpening.” If you know your stance, it may be easier to choose the best knife.
Il primo coltello da batoning o?
I’ve been camping before, but I’m interested in Bushcraft! There should be many people who say that. Many of them should already have an Coltello EDC. Se stai cercando funzionalità che il tuo coltello non ha, puoi restringere le opzioni.
Come nota a margine

Compare the case of chopping firewood using batoning and “axe”
Isn’t it okay to use an ax to break firewood? I think. However, from the conclusion, it seems that there are many advantages to batoning with a knife. Why is that? Here is a video of chopping wood using an actual ax in an easy-to-understand manner.
Benefits of batoning with a knife
① Less labor (power) than an ax.
The weight of the ax used for chopping wood, “splitting ax”, is generally 2 kg to 3 kg. It’s so heavy that it has power, but it’s hard to swing it up. Especially when considering the use by women, you can imagine the difficulty of chopping wood. 2kg is equivalent to one 2ℓ PET bottle.
② Even if you have little experience, you can do batoning work.
Butting with a knife is not that difficult once you get used to it. When using an ax, there are some tips (such as aiming at the part where there is a crack originally, surrounding it with old tires so that it does not scatter as shown in the above image), but the experience value is relatively better with the batoning using a knife. It is recommended because it can be done even if it is low.
③ Knives are more portable than axes ⇒ You can baton when you need them.
Many batoning knives are highly portable, such as knives that can be attached to your feet and foldable knives. Although it depends on the item, the weight of the batoning knife is generally about 300g to 700g. Isn’t it a merit to have a tool at hand immediately when you want to use it?
Disadvantages of batoning with a knife
On the contrary, what are the disadvantages of batoning with a knife?
The knife may be damaged or damaged.
Since the knife itself is hit with a stick-shaped object, a considerable amount of force is applied to the knife. Some people do not recommend batoning with a knife, as this can lead to damage to the knife and injury to the user.
Which is better, an ax, a knife, or a batoning?
Whether to use an ax or a knife for batoning is likely to be “determined by the situation and the person who uses it”. But either way, you need to understand the pros and cons.
I think the batoning knife has advantages over the ax in terms of convenience and portability, but of course there are people who value the damage and risk of the knife.
Overall summary
In search of bushcraft
Bushcraft is an EDC style with a strong nuance of “coexisting with nature”. Little equipment and knowledge and skills to live. Therefore, it seems to be more difficult than a normal camp … but it is also good that there is no “clear definition of bushcraft”. If you are trying for the first time, you can start little by little from where you can.
Meet the knife that suits you and enjoy Bushcraft!
Finding the best knife for you will surely be one of the pleasures. Find out what’s important to you, including features, price, and design. And let’s enjoy bushcraft in nature with the best one!
