Benchmade bushcrafter
While not a bushcrafters purist knife, This thing will get the job done, sharp spine will cast sparks off even the hardest ferro rods. Sharp S30v steel blade will widdle great tinder. Thick blade is robust enough to baton large pieces of wood. Only downfall is the length, another inch would make this a lot friendlier in some more severe use situations.

Typical Benchmade quality
A very nice knife for the outdoors with a thick S30V blade that performs flawlessly at any bushcrafting task you can throw at it. Sturdy enough to baton, up to the point you would switch to an hatchet. The handle is comfortable with no hotspots. Works well with gloves and even better without. The sheath is made of beautiful leather that is functional, but looks like it will require some careful handling. Nowhere as durable as a kydex sheath or even a tougher leather sheath.
