Besides the steel difference. ..what do you think of the Bark River compared to the Becker?

James

This Camp Creek handle is very ergonomic!

I have had the Becker for about a month and I have had the Bark River for about a week so all I have at the moment are first impressions really. I have an Ontario Blackbird SK5 also which I have had for over a year.



-They are all 1/8 inch.
-The Becker has a tapered tang which is a pretty unique feature on a knife that costs around $100.
-The Bark River blade is longer and has less blade height.
-The Becker handle is taller but thinner. The Bark River handle has a similar width as it does height so it has a very comfortable broomstick feel while the Becker has a very comfortable flatter feel. They are both super comfortable but the Becker indexes better while the Bark River is more comfortable when I squeeze really hard. The SK5 is typically boxy Ontario. I like the feel and find it hand filling.
-The Becker handle is natural wood. It is not stabilized so it feels like real wood. Feels really nice but needs to be oiled and maintained.
-Bark River has a convex grind. The SK5 and Becker have flat grinds.
-The Becker is the only one without a sharp spine.
-The Becker is much truer to the original Kephart, especially in the handle. The Bark River is convex ground like the original but the original was a double convex that was convexed towards the spine too. The swedge towards the tip on the Becker and the not sharp spine are a nod to that.
-The Ontario is stainless which doesn't matter much to me in most cases but sometimes around here it is nice to have a stainless option. It has been raining here for weeks!

Here are comparison picks with my other Bark River, a Wilderness Explorer. Man, I love that Wilderness Explorer!

LT Wright Large Pouter. A five inch blade of 3/32 AEB-l with a distal taper. Thin and light. It is supposed to be sort of a camp kitchen knife but to me it is a light weight field knife. The pattern is a bit like an old trade knife.

I just love the look of LT. Wright knives. I really want ti try their aeb-l. If they ht it anything like their a2 or d2, it should be superb.

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!

Can't fit it in my pocket so it's on the belt. I wanted to carry my spyderco temperance today but I need to get a g clip for it.

Oh!!! There goes the neighborhood! :D
V8 Dagger!! Busse Combat in the house! :D
Btw, looks like David made that sheath? Buy Brown?
Awesome blade man.

[VashHash]

Yeah I told him I'd be carrying it inverted so he tightened up the fit. It's not a quiet sheath at all. I can do jumping jacks without worry though. I need to make a spacer so it rides a little high.

[MacLaren]

Oh, I'm sure. David does excellent work!
Here's a sheath he did for my Foresaken Battle Mistress.
It has my family Crest on it.

[MacLaren]

That Busse FMV8 is just a work of art imo.

[VashHash]

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.
