Bark River UP Bravo inbound! Navy burlap micarta, thick natural liners and hollow pins.
Just ordered my first BRK from DLT, pretty excited! Bravo 1.25 LT, Green Canvas Micarta & 3V - can't go wrong.
The 1.25LT was the one I had wanted for a while. That’s about my favorite size. The Bravo handle works very well for me. The UP Bravo has a more appealing blade shape for me though. It is only available in A2 but that is fine with me. Should be here Monday.

Yea, the UP/Canadian shape looks super cool - part skinner, part spatula?

I really want a Bushcrafter LT, but I'm not sure when or if they'll be making those again (not on the production schedule). I think the Bravo 1.25LT will do me just fine, and if it's not perfect the resale value is pretty high.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I've got an LT Wright Daily Carry (AEBL & Green Micarta) and a Bradford Guardian 3 Sheepsfoot (Cruwear & Black Micarta) inbound. The Daily Carry will be a father's day gift.

If you get a chance, I'd love to see the Daily Carry in-hand. I'm looking at LT Wright for a smaller fixed blade, and am debating between the Patriot, Small Workhorse, Frontier Valley, and Daily Carry.

Thank kerrcobra! A lot more hand-filling than I imagined. Now the choice I that much harder...

Thank you sir, appreciate it! I absolutely love the Guardian 3's, but a slightly longer handle is always nice. I just can't get into the looks of the Guardian 3.5. This one is tempting now!

I knew I should have never got interested in fixed blades! So many great looking knives.

No problem! I actually just ordered a Guardian 3.5 FFG in 3V this afternoon. I wish Cruwear was an option (or something else even more exotic); one thing I like about the 3.5 is I like the neutral looking handle and the vertical leather sheath. If it's as comfortable in hand as the 3 is, then I foresee one of those 3.5 tantos in my future as well.

I got a newsletter email from DLT that showed they had a bunch of new 3.5's available. If you havent checked yet, take a look. I know they use Cruwear for their exclusives.

Just received my order for a Smock. So far it’s a big disappointment. There is no way I can tune this to where I can flip it. The blade is very good, but as far as I’m concerned the total evaluation is a 4 out of 10. Sorry!
Wow, sounds like you really got a dud! The two I've had were fidget dream knives, and super easy to flip. I'd send yours back for sure.
I spoke too soon and should know better. It took a while to break in and now it is my favorite EDC. 9 out of 10.
