Why Bushcraft Knives Are Making Waves in the UK Market?
If you are an outdoor enthusiast who loves spending time in nature, you will surely need to have a camping kit with all the essentials at all times with you. A Bushcraft knife is a must-have if you‘re planning on a nature retreat. In this blog, we discuss the importance of Bushcraft knives and why they are so popular in the UK market.
Importance of Bushcraft Knife
Bushcraft knives are different from survival knives. The latter are ideal for surviving in the woods only for a few days. They can be used for self-defense, chopping things, or cutting wood. Bushcraft knives, however, are helpful if you plan to stay in the jungle for, say, more than a month. Hence, these knives need to be sturdy with a comfortable grip. The blade length is generally 3-6 inches.
They can be used for wood carving, building shelters, hunting, or making fire. The shape of the blade determines its use. A pointed blade is ideal for cutting or piercing, while a clip-point blade is best for slicing, and a flat-grind blade is used for chopping.
Knife Laws in the UK
Before you head out into the streets of the UK with a Bushcraft knife in your pocket, please be aware of the UK knife laws. This can help prevent spending your camping time in prison or ending up with a hefty fine:
- You should not carry knives or weapons in public without having “a good reason”.
- You are not permitted by the law to sell knives or weapons to anyone less than 18 years old.
- You can carry a folding pocket knife if its blade is less than 3 inches long.
- You can carry a folding pocket knife if it is not a lock knife.
- Some of the good reasons for carrying a knife in public can be for work, religious reasons (Sikhs), or a part of the national costume.
