You throw in that bushcrafter on your belt and we have a deal.

What is a bushcrafter? Is the term in use in the English world?

There's a Wikipedia article about bushcraft but the meaning of the term is still unclear to me.

If you Google "bushcrafter" it returns lots of items about knives.

While I agree with @SoothingDave that a bushcrafter must be a knife (especially with "on your belt") it's worth noting that Google searches return very different results when done from different countries as I know from my own experience.

 

[SoothingDave]

True. And, for the record, I had never heard of the term before, so I would not say it's common.

It's a specific type of knife. Usually no more than five inches, single edged, thick spine, with a drop point and full tang. They're more of a smaller task knife like carving, slicing, or skinning than chopping or hacking. They're not really designed for stabbing and piercing due to short blade and thick point.

It's a common term in the circles of outdoorsmen and survivalist types, but probably not so common outside those circles. The knife pictured in the OP link is a good example of the style.

They actually tend to refer to it as a 'bushcraft knife'. A 'bushcrafter' is normally a person who practices bushcraft (the art of wilderness survival).
