with the real Obake I cut myself in the thumb so deeply while pull it out of the sheath that I had to go to the hospital for 5 stitches. But I love the knife!
I think this would be a little too small for all the jobs you need for Bushcraft. You might want to take a look at a knife with a little larger blade like our Saker™ knife. This knife is great for lighter tasks like piercing and cutting, but should you need to cut down a branch for shelter or wood, this would be too small to help. Hope the helps!
_"Smaller branches can be most quickly and easily broken by hand. For branches too large to be broken by hand, you need an ax, or a saw, because a knife will not work. This knife will do bushcraft tasks just fine. You could gut and skin a deer with the Skoshi."_ That's not right at all. Bushcraft knives are heavy enough to hack off branches and trees which are several inches thick, they can work like a small machete. Preferably with a flat pommel for hammering tent stakes and things like that too. Saying the knife can skin a deer, and therefore is good for bushcraft... that's ridiculous. It's a tiny knife fit for light-duty everyday carry.
Well, love that the designer is from Albuquerque(my birth city)…. but why do people borrow Japanese words and then insist on saying them completely wrong? :(
Loved the Obake! The Skoshi is a great option for smaller carry option.
The coolest knife I've seen for years. Ordered mine earlier today.
Lucas Burnley is the man with the plan!
I love this lineup of knives!

I removed all the branches of a cherry tree that fell over in my back yard with my Bark River Bravo 2. No axe needed. 😃
I really wish these knives - especially the ones intended for self-defense - had guards to prevent your fingers from slipping up onto the edge.
+Howjadoo22 : was gonna say the exact same thing. this knife genuinely scares me to hold.
the beauty
