Re: Bark River Knives
Well, I finally caved and sprang for a Bark River. When I saw this one I was helpless against its power. Bravo EDC.

Re: Bark River Knives
The Gunny Sidekicks at Knivesshipfree. Or perhaps a Bravo lt in cruwear. That size range, wanting the thinner stock, though. Questions for you - you've had a Bravo 1 right? How did it fit your hand? Do liners make the handles noticeably thicker in general?Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 2:17 pmWhich bark river are you looking at?

Re: Bark River Knives
I had the bravo squad leader which i believe uses the bravo 1 handle. I love the bravo handle its very comfortable. I had a mountain man and it had a terrible hotspot at the end where it formed the coffin shape of the handle. The ultralight bushcrafter has a very comfortable handle too and thin blade stock. I haven't really noticed a difference in hand with liners vs not having them.JuPaul wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 3:44 pmThe Gunny Sidekicks at Knivesshipfree. Or perhaps a Bravo lt in cruwear.

Re: Bark River Knives
I find the Bravo handle very comfortable and hand filling. Thinking about getting a Bravo 1.25 LT in Cruwear.
I think I have 8 of them now. I like the geometry quite a bit.

Re: Bark River Knives
When I get around to buying a larger Bark River (it's inevitable now), it'll probably be that exact model. Looks like they're sold out everywhere now, but I saw that pre-orders for the 3v version are open now. Hopefully they have plans to run more in cruwear as well.bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 8:56 pmI find the Bravo handle very comfortable and hand filling.

Re: Bark River Knives
Be patient and keep your eyes open. I have scored some of my Bark Rivers used for great prices. Eventually you will see one for sale.JuPaul wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:54 pmWhen I get around to buying a larger Bark River (it's inevitable now), it'll probably be that exact model.

Re: Bark River Knives
Lol, I'd say!
17.76% off is a lot, then if you have a lot of points built up, your talkin about a major discount.

Re: Bark River Knives
I would like to own one Bark River in the future....but there are two things: they are expensive, my likely for knives had become around 200 €. And second, there are almost impossible to buy here in Europe. Very few had some in the stock, and when they do have some, there are 300+€ ...
