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.kennethsime wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 12:19 amJust ordered my first BRK from DLT, pretty excited!

Yea, the UP/Canadian shape looks super cool - part skinner, part spatula?bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 5:59 amThe 1.25LT was the one I had wanted for a while.

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.

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.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
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.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Thank kerrcobra! A lot more hand-filling than I imagined. Now the choice I that much harder...

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
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.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
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.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 6:26 pmThank you sir, appreciate it!

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
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.kerrcobra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 6:39 pmNo problem! I actually just ordered a Guardian 3.5 FFG in 3V this afternoon.
