View Full Version : no bison knife review?
I can't find one. I know we've had lots of comments on it over the time that I've ben here and on BB but I can't find a deicated review. I did a google search and pulled up both bushcraftuk and britishblades. One arcive said something about Gary reviewing it. Is this review still around

I had one, got rid. Nuff said. It was OK bit ...
Kath's got one and I think because the handle is better suited to smaller hands she finds it better.
I'll bring mine along to the next meet, Andy - you can poke at it then.
Pagan wolf has one.. why not ask him!
I have one, quality blade but I find the handle just a little too narrow so I don't use it much. If you like knives with smaller handles then it's worth a look. I may stick mine in the classifieds.
If your looking for a great Bushcraft knife, try a Roger Linger Bushcraft. I love both of mind :o):

Ive got the BisonBushcraft and I find its perfect for bushcraft and i "use it alot", the blade is a perfect size for carving and holds an edge very well, I am having another made to my spec which i will pick up next week (you can see them both in january :wink: ) and the leatherwork is also excellent. Ill do a review on my new one next week once ive got it in my mitts, I took the Bison on a course once(wont mention wich) and the instructors were impressed with it, one in particular said it was much better then the one they did, blade/handle size ect pick the bones out of that :wink: .All in all a top knife IMO and a good price for a knife you can have hand made to your own spec, eg handle material, sheath design ect, the workmanship is fully guarenteed ,as i have said in my opinion its a lovely useable knife and it looks pretty too :wink:
I too have a Bison Bushcraft Knife, and wouldn't be separated from it. I bought mine several years ago when the Hastings Arms Company were marketing them for a brief time. Overall a good, reliable and strong blade with a very nice hand made sheath, that I would recommend to anyone.

I was going to take mine with me too...
:biggthump
(of course, I'm too embarrassed to admit that I haven't had time to use it yet!)
(er... Oops)
Peter,
Your a bad boy. You can't buy a Linger knife and not use it. :nono: :rolmao: :lol:

I had a good look at the bb`s knife owned by paganwolf at a woodlore course. The instructors seemed to rate it as every bit as good as the w`lore one. I have ordered one from Roger on the strength of the hard work it was put to by the wolf during that week.

Hi myakka, Dave is talking about a Bison Bushcraft Knife made by Roger Harrington, whats a Linger Bushcraft, or have i got the totally wrong end of the stick (before you say it Gary it wouldnt be the first time :rolmao: :nana: )
Sorry for the mix up, when Dave said Roger, I thought he was talking about Roger Linger, my mistake.
Tha bottom knife in the photo is a Linger Bushcraft knife

How long is the wait for one?
a couple of months, but maybe longer because it around the holidays, just shoot Roger an email.
His email is rlinger1@yahoo.com

It is a lovely knife jake :wink:
:rolmao:
Since Andy handled both yesterday, perhaps he'd like to comment...?
I wasn't keen on the handle of the R linger knife. It was a bit too square for me. It could of course be sorted out without much trouble. You can take a bit of wood away so it's fair enough to make it on the big side. The sheath was indeed very nice.
I don't know which other one I was playing with:sigh: There was far too much to take in
:D Gets tricky, doesn't it?
The Bison had a gum burr handle and a bit of paracord wrapped around the sheath... I think the only other scandi-type grind I had on that table was the Woverine (the numbered one, if that helps?)
dma nab it I didn't get a look at the bison then. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Stop it guys, im already spending too much :nana: :lol: :wink:
