I got one just yesterday. First impressions are that it’s a well made knife; the grind is about right (for me) as far as degrees per side go at the apex (around 16°ps); it is capable of a very sharp edge akin to 1095 sharp off of 30k compound; and the handle geometry is quite well done. The handle is thicker than the Gunny in all proportions and this is a big plus. The grind is a much larger convex radius than the 3V version, thus capable of a finer edge without major reprofiling, and isn’t too far from flat, which is a pretty good geometry in my experience. 【Full flat to zero is simply impractical and prone to chips; in Scandinavia you won’t find too many full flat to zero “scandi” grinds made by Scandinavian knifesmiths as almost all are either: 1) flat with a blended micro convex bevel; or 2) slightly convex; outside of Scandinavia but still in the region 3) in the case of Finland Puukkot they are generally high full flat with a micro convex bevel. The full flat to zero “true scandi” grind thing is a nonsense myth and unless you are in a workshop putting those edges on carving knives they serve no purpose in edge retention regardless of what you’re cutting.】 Only time will tell me anything more; and initially I’m not disappointed at all.
There is a distinct difference between a scandi and a sabre grinde, which is, that the scandi has on bevel while the sabre grind has two bevels. They are not the same.
Quit smoking please. Sounds like you got a bit of emphysema weezing. Its getting louder and louder. We need and love u. Please stop smoking and do some cardio daily.
I hope that in future Mike show us his method to resharp at home a bk knives.

Coce-Bottle-Handle is a very good choice! Glad they changed that (but I will keep my old one of course).
Waiting for Gunny / Gunny Hunter in 154cm ...
Hello from Georgia. My ancestors are from Bark river. Ill have to check out your site.
My wife is going to kill me, but I gotta have one of these. Mike your my hero.
Love my Bushcrafter!
Nice little knife
I am blessed I have many knifes with scandigrinds. Scandi bites deeper than convex
Nice Mike! 👍
Own a older bravo one in 154 it's awesome
Beautiful
Make more knives in the LT versions

Very nice! How about a Bark River Canoe in CPM 154?
Kind regards
Sure is nice.
Hey Mike, when is the Bark River Folder ever coming out?
Mike , do you sell what they call seconds that have been returned for any small reasons
Any plans for a stabby, purely defensive offering from BRK in the pipeline?
Thank you.
How many knives has Mike got now?
God bless them....Hahahahaha!!!

Make sure you have a sharp spine if you call the knife a 'Bushcrafter" -Peace
I fixed the spine. Wasn't easy. You ain't lying about the heat treat
