I bought an Anglo Arms Bushcraft Knife a while back so I thought I'd do a review of the knife.
The blade is a hollow ground blade rather than the Scandi grind which some people seem to think it is.
The blade is 105mm long x 33mm deep at the handgrip. the blade's thickness is 4mm at the handgrip.
The back-ridge of the blade has an area just before the handgrip with very shallow grooves in it, these aid a thumb grip when extra force is needed for cutting.
A little further toward the point on the back-ridge is a shallow curved piece, this is where you use the small ferro rod that this knife comes with. I think it's a nice touch along with a little whistle for attracting rescuers and the likes.
The scales of the knife are a black hard nylon affair with diagonal fine grip lines.
The scales are held onto the knife with little star-drive bolts and function well.
The knife is comfortable for me to hold but then again my palm is only 100mm wide with my hand held open.
The sheath is a thick reinforced fabric which works really well. It has a large belt loop which is large enough to go over the wide military work belts.
The sheath has a front compartment with a pop-stud flap. It is in there that the small ferro fod and whistle are found.
The knife cuts well and I often take to wearing it when I'm doing DIY, it's good to have a knife at hand in those moments when you need one.
I think this knife would work well in a bushcraft scenario and easily do everything you want it to do.
Shop around and you'll find it at around £10
