- An overview of one of my favorite fixed-blade knifemakers: Bark River Knives. As always, a discussion of what the brand does right, what the brand could do better, my recommended knife and their iconic knife.
WOW those are some gorgeous knives. I love that Cub River knife a lot.
Thank you! Its a great knife for sure
Love ❤bark river knives. And Mike Stewart, he is one of a kind and a friend. If one ever has issues or feel a need to use their warranty they will take care of you. Thanx for the review , and a nice collection you have ❤❤❤
I dont know the man, just seen a few of his short videos for KSF. I do like the product he puts out for sure though
I have 2 Bark River Blackjacks. A commando-handled 1 - 7 and a commando-handled Jet Pilot. Love them and the are certainly "Blackjack sharp".
Never tried the blackjacks, not yet
Wow 😮! That's a fantastic selection there.
All the best, David.
Thank you David, glad you liked it!
I really like the bark river sheath I carry mine every single day you just have to put the knife in the sheath and leave it there The leather will mold around the knife. It’s a little bulky at first, but it breaks in very nicely.
I think their sheaths are very well made, I just like them contoured to the knife. In ither words, the sheath ends in a point not a square
Hi thx for your video ! Your Bk knives have just the perfect size , i have the bravo 1 rampless and he is amazing and so elegant !
Thank you! Glad you liked it. The Bravo 1 is top notch for sure!
Good recommendations as always Marco. Speaking of that; I took you advise with the large Inkosi (knife art exclusive) insingo. It hasn’t left my pocket since I got it. Glad I got this one. Keep the vids coming bud.
Hey glad it worked out for you. Thank you for the kind words, I will do my utmost!
My first and possibly my favourite Bark River knife was the gunny it’s basically a smaller version of the Bravo 1. I have around 12 Bark River knives now including the Bravo One, plus a few other brands manufactured by Bark River. I’m more than happy with the ones I have. Thank for your efforts, the reviews and overviews you do on your channel, I enjoy your content.
BRK has become the macca of knives. Best in the world, most desirable. Your collection is beautiful. Mind you, Dropped Point is the best.
I agree, they are the standard by which most fixed blades are measured. Glad you enjoyed the video
I agree 💯% if I had to choose 1 company for fixed blades Bark River would be my first choice. My favorite is the Cub the latest one you got the Stike Fore 2 look amazing too, but I’m a fan off most of Bark River knives.
They make awesome knives for sure. And the breath of options is impressive
@@KnivesoftheRoundTablethe customer service is abysmal though, you talk to them about any issue and it’s your fault 😂
Im hoping I dont need their CS
Nice collection. Close to $2000 dollars in knives. 😁 you went with expensive handles. I dare say you have the collectors bug. Got get out and use those beauties. I see you prefer thick blades. I have the Bravo 1.25 in 3V which is a slimmer stock. But it takes a beating but is a slicer. How is the ergoes on the BRK Sentry? I have recently purchased an Iron River in Magnacut & for a pocket knife the ergoes are ok. It fills 4 fingers comfortably. To put it in perspective, the White River M1 Caper has the best ergoes of any neck or pocket knives for which I set as the bar to meets. See ya in the backwoods.
Thank You! I dont get to go out as much as I would like, probably 4 times a year. I do like blade that I can baton with, it is one of my primary uses. The ergos on the Sentry are decent for a large hand and great for a medium hand, its just a bit small around
Hello! Great collection! I am writing from Russia. I'm a big fan of Bark River. I think Mike changed the knife industry in some ways. Recently, a real war has broken out in the American segment of TH-cam: LT Wright vs Bark River. I have several BRKT knives and they are all amazing quality. But the last one disappointed me. This is the EXT-1 in Magnacut steel and maple burl. the two halves of its handle seem to come from different knives, they are not symmetrical. The blade tip is not sharp. It's likely that quality control has actually decreased due to the increase in quantity. What do you think about it?
I don’t really like the design of the LTWK, and the BRKT knives have more soul, but the quality has really dropped. now it's like LAND ROVER - some are lucky with the quality, others are not. But the cars are really good))))
My Strike Force had some imperfections and they could be due to the quantity of knives they produce. I only have one LT Wright so I am not the best to compare. The Workhorse I have is very good, but comparable to my BRKs.
The sheaths focus on functionality. They are all AMBIDEXTROUS. If you're a lefty, you don't have to go out and by a new sheath for your brand new knife. Yes, it isn't as stylish, but the function is there for everyone.
Thats true. I guess I am a rightist!
Im gonna get my fist Bark River...but im torn between the 3V, or A2 steel. The advice i get is to go with 3V....im still undecided
I would go 3v for sure.
The fit and finish is my biggest complaint, at least between now and 2022.
I cant disagree with that
Has a couple bark rivers and they are a great camp knife but not a good hunting knife.
I could see that, you need thinner blades and probably more belly huh?
BRK makes MANY excellent hunting knives. Classic Drop Point Hunter, Bobcat Hunter, Skinner, Fox River, EXT-2 and my favorite the EXT-1. There are more too! Hope you find what you are looking for.
They make great knives for every use. You need to pick the right tool for the job.
Bark River the most beautiful knives in the world, your collection is a perfect example!. Only one big flaw, the cases are very ugly and non-functional?? for the price !! my opinion
In my video that's the flaw I mentioned, that's the item I believe they should improve. The sheath seems bulky and generic IMO. Its well built, but generic.
@@KnivesoftheRoundTable Thank you! Yes just I think the same thing!! Your knives are superb, you've chosen well!
in Quebec, the only supplier in Bark River are give the cases like the one you present for the bravo 1 ... really ugly! For much less money, the "Espagnols" like Cuderman or Joker provide super great sheaths for their knives!
Thank you!
