The Bushbaby is one of the oldest patterns Battle Horse Knives makes, a design that goes back to the Blind Horse days and has stayed in the catalog through a company name change because its size class never stopped making sense: 2.875 inches of flat ground O1 at just 6.75 inches overall, the baby of the bush line, exactly as the name promises.
What the Bushbaby owns is the gap between a pocket knife and a belt knife. It is small enough to ride in a pack pocket or on a belt unnoticed, but it works like a fixed blade when the day fills with small jobs, and the flat grind makes it a genuine slicer for food, cordage, and fine carving rather than a shrunken chopper. The pattern's bushcraft roots still show in how cleanly it cuts curls when kindling needs starting, which is why the little knife keeps a following among people whose big blades stay home most weekends. Micarta scales come in natural, green, and black, all matte, handmade in Cambridge, Ohio. If your small fixed blade leans hunting rather than pocket duty, the Birch River covers the same size with a skinning belly and elk antler one of ones.
