The 1.25LT was my first BRK, and still probably my favorite when “small scary sword” territory isn’t an issue.JoviAl wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:15 pmI don’t suppose you might have a picture of the Bravo 1.25 next to a spyderco mule for size reference perchance? I’m torn between the 1.25 and the 1.5 for work, but am mindful that I’m getting into what most passers by might consider ‘small scary sword’ territory with the bravo 1.5 (or even the bravo 2).
The handle is more generous, hand-filling, and obviously the length is about 1.5” more.
The blade stock is significantly thicker, as is the grind.
The 1.25 is 5”, the 1.5 is 5.8”, and the Bravo 2 is 7” (same size as the USMC Fighting Knife).
So, your 1.5 would be just under halfway between these two. Blade stock is close enough: 0.156 for the Bravo 1.25LT, 0.165 for the KABAR. The non-LT version would be thicker.
Here’s a shot with some folders, too.
For a camp knife, I don’t think you can really go wrong here.
If you’re thinking about an EDC, the Bravo 1 LT and the Gunny Hunter LT or the Gunny Sidekick are really great options. All are around 4”. The NC EDC, Ultralite Bushcrafter, and PSK EDC are also very popular EDCs.
