It's a fantastic throwing knife too.
Very cool that you actually use yours.
So many are just put away in the safe
Especially one like yours.
Gotta live a little. Luckily I have 2. I almost picked one up off the exchange a while back but figured I didn't need that many.

I've thrown my ASHBM a bit too. Actually knocked the scale a little from a bad toss.

The native 5 throws pretty well for a folder.

I mean I've seen guys on the busse forums batoning with $2000+ custom shop knives.

Used the amazing CS Tuff Lite folding utility knife, To change both gas igniters (main oven and infrared broiler)in our Dynasty oven. What a useful little tool!

Thanks for the detailed information and pictures. I had the Bark River on my radar along with the LT Wright Genesis! Of course the BK62 was released recently...so I was leaning towards the Ka-bar for my first Kephart style knife. I'm not going to use it close to hard enough where I would need 4V. What do you think of the stock sheath that comes with the 62? Thanks again for the detailed response!

James
The BK62 sheath is decent. It is a made in the USA leather sheath and while it isn’t amazing it is way better than the stock made in Mexico leather sheaths that come with the standard Kabars. It is wet formed to the BK62 and holds it nice and secure.

Thank you ! I'll use the stock sheath and probably have my wife wet form a custom designed version with kydex insert! Looking forward to getting the BK62 ....

I like it too, but the clip is on the wrong bloody end. Being small, I like a fob on it to lengthen the grip, but putting in the pocket with a fob tip down is awkward. Same with the Cricket. It's what keeps me from carrying these.

I changed the clip to left hand carry so the blade is up against the side of my right front pocket. It doesn't bother the ergos as a righthand user ...that being said ...I've bought a few of these to leave in kitchen drawer, Toolbox, Utility bag, Etc. A lot of the times when working around the house I just throw it in an open pocket .

I'm enamored by the Rogers jigging on these black box Winchesters (and all Rogers jigging). Even in a boring dark brown color, this jigging just makes me smile.

While I feel a little guilty that it's not a Spydie, after a month of use, I still think this is the perfect knife for me. Love this beast.

Just came in. Aqua blue camel bone. I'm more than impressed. This is one of the best GEC runs in the past couple of years. There is nothing wrong with this, even if I get nitpicking. 5-6 pull with loud, strong snap, perfect fit. It is just so so nice. It is svelte yet surprisingly beefy. Classy but a worker.

Right now a Vic Swisstool. It pairs up nicely with my Spyderco carries.

I really don’t need another knife ever. This is perfection in my opinion. It’s the only knife I carry now a days, day in and day out. And strawberries are almost off!!! Woohoo.

Great Eastern Cutlery #82 Possum Skinner Northfield in Elderberry Jigged Bone. Possibly the perfect two blade pocket knife.

Michael, do you not touch up or sharpen the edges on your GEC's when you get them? I can stand their edges, though they work well enough.

Also, I'm envious. I should have purchased the elderberry Possum Skinner to match my elderberry Dixie Stockman. Instead, I've just got the micarta.
