If one knife has to stand for Battle Horse Knives, it is the Woodsman Pro. The maker counts it among its best sellers for a simple reason: at 3.875 inches of O1 and 8.875 inches overall, 8.2 ounces on the hip, it is the all-arounder, big enough for real camp work and small enough to wear all day, with a finger guard that lets you choke up for carving and a squared 90 degree spine that scrapes a ferro rod. Owners call the design close to a perfect do-everything bushcraft and hunting knife.
The grind choice maps to the job: scandi for woodcraft first, saber for hunting, where the drop point pierces and the modest belly handles light skinning duty. Ten numbered one of ones top DLT's sixteen knife spread, nine saber elk antler builds with bolsters and a single saber maple, alongside micarta in natural, green, or black on either grind. Buyers with the very largest hands sometimes find the grip a touch trim; the Salt Fork exists for exactly that hand. Brown leather sheath included, handmade in Cambridge, Ohio.
