Love all your videos!
Thanks Chris love this style of knives .also ultra lite bushcraft
Wow, I love that knife. Looks great.
I like that sort-of-Canadian blade shape. I bet Will would take a liking to this knife, right after he says "as usual, Chris slaps something in my hand............"
What a great knife, exactly as your read off the BR description for uses. Thanks for another good review, Chris.
Hey Chris great video and yes now I want one but I just spent my money on your JX6 companion just reseved it the other day and I'm very impressed! A knivfe I can hand down to one of my grandsons. I also was happy to see your PN101 logo on it way cool!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FKER!!
Thanks Chris for the knife review...
Gregor
That knife is gorgeous. Classic yet unique.
LOL Presto CHANGE-O!!!!
Can't wait to get mine! I ordered one of them and a PSK EDC yesterday!
Hello Chris, thank you for another fine review. I'm still saving for that one special knife. You are correct Chris, there are too many choices.
Take care out there. 🤗
I'm still thinking about the black bird and that knife is under $ 100 buck's. I have to justify for me to buy a knife for that much money I would have to use it all the time like my main tool to use not just something to look at and put it in a bag and never use it like other knives I own.
This is a nifty little knife. I would love this for carry on the boat tender. Great for beach side bonfires and general purpose tropical island mucking around.
Chris, are you guys planning a bushbat JX4 in Elmax? Im looking to pick one up soon and would love it in Elmax. Love your work buddy👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for the knife review. STILL the only video on this knife👍🏻
1 request could u keep the knife in picture the last couple minutes of video while you're talking. Appreciate seeing the knife working but also want to see from all angles. Thanks
I love Bark River Knives....Escanaba, MI represent!! I live in Petoskey, MI. But, I'll tell you what....the TOPS Camp Creek in s35vn with a very nicely executed kydex and leather dangler sheath is the best deal right now for an all around camp, hike, canoe, skin, etc knife..... $150.
Thanks Chris for the reviews and giving everyone to see what it can do before spending that much money on a knife. Myself I'm still thinking about the black bird and that knife is under $ 100 buck's I have to justify for me to buying an expensive knife that would have to be something I would have to use often. I buy expensive tools I use those all the time to build thing's they don't sit on the shelf.
What a sweet blade GORGEOUS
Love it. Canadian blade with a more ergonomic (for me) handle
Grt video. Looks like a good Companion knife
Very good looking blade.
Think I'm saving for the jx6 black with red liners!
Wish it was a little bigger in handle. Depending on glove I am at very end of large and perfect at XL so with no choil I would be on blade. If it wasn't for that it would be a contender.
The regular Tundra looks fine as well.
I don't have a Bark River knife yet but the mini bushcrafter in 3V is on my to buy list, also a benchmade griptillian.
I Will make sure to use the DLT link when buying them.
Very good review Sir
A great knife again. I think Ohio will finally dry out one Tuesday in July. This weather is insane.
Very nice!
If your weather in Ohio is like ours in NY, it probably won't dry until August, lol. Nice little knife. Not what I usually lean towards, but bot a bad design by any means.
Shape model popular in northern Quebec
What ever happened to the finger guard ?,
I did Chris. I'm not busting your chops. Just a loyal viewer I'm not completely happy with The Change-Up. But will continue to watch. And try and learn. Maybe your friend mantis will do a hot tent with ultralight stuff
I wish they did slimmer straight handles,not a fan of flares or bottle shapes.
How does it compare to the ulb
Funny how bark river used a few other handle configs other than the original canadian, which is a good thing cause the original handle shape doesn't lend well to a hammer grip, the one bush beaters like so much... wow :o unintended
They have a mini-bushcrafter so im assuming the mini-tundra is leaning more towards a hunting knife.
Just by looking at it, i don't like the way that the handle looks, but the blade design looks beautiful
Right on dude... if you know what i mean.
Yeah no kiddin central Ohio sucks right now. I live in Newark, and it's just shitty out. I think we got more snow coming.
Dig it.
Nice
Moma said no ! Got one to go and it’s your design so when I save my pennies up I will get it. But that’s a nice knife
I prefer danglers
-Chris "dangler maker" Tanner 2019
The decider is, "would WILL like it?"
A nice Turkey-carving knife for the missus!
Those super thick pins look like it will weaken the tang. I prefer them to be thinner, 3/16 diameter maximum. IMO, handle pins don't have to be so thick.
I found a popular Knife guy on YT who doesn't like the Fox River EXT-1. His name is Wako & goes by the name of virtuovice on his YT channel. He particularly doesn't like the handle of the EXT-1.
It totally looks like one of those Canadian knives .
Thought the same thing. Canadian blade but on a more standard handle
Kinda like... The description of the knife I read?
Chris it would be cool if you would show a 100 dollar option for guys like me who just can't pull the trigger on a knife at that price point
Koa has the Yukon for under hundred, it more of a traditional canadian belt knife it made of d2 it's a cool knife for the price
Try a wc sportsman
Hey Chris I paid you a very nice compliment on my last review. But it was not you who responded back. I think if you're going to keep doing knives and flashlights you should change the name from preparedmind101 the best knives 101. I personally would like to see some reviews on ultralight 10th and ultralight stove to heat the tents things of that nature but that is only my opinion best of luck on your new show I'm sure I will still watch it
See: First Video of the year.
I have >30 BRKs and I love every single one! Shhh. Don’t tell my wife! :)
I have 17 now and it's becoming a problem.
I’m at the point where it’s really hard because I try not to buy any more. Uggh. Painful.
Oh god she already knows! Those knives can not save you..
I own an “Ambush Tundra.” Is this a mini version of it? Did Bark River buy out Ambush Knives, or what’s the connection between the two companies?....Because I believe my Ambush Tundra has a Bark River handle but doesn’t have any Bark River branding. #preparedmind101 #theocdhunter
Never mind. I didn’t watch far enough....before I commented
I also own an Ambush Tundra (and love it)! As far as I understand, the Ambush brand name was created by and sold (exclusively?) through DLT Trading. DLT had Bark River make the knives per "their" design (although it was probably done in collaboration with BRK from the start). It now appears that Bark River Knives has taken ownership of the Ambush brand name and rolled it into their brand. The Tundra knife design was a cross between the BRK Canadian Special (leaf) blade and BRK Aurora handle . . . arguably taking the best element/feature of each knife and combining the two.
AZ-Chris thanks for the info, I been wondering how that all played out, because when you go to the “Ambush” website all they sell is the Alpha & Bravo. I agree I love this blade, it is probably one of my favorites! Mine has a two tone handle Natural Maple Burl into a Dark Brown Acrylic Hybrid. Absolute work of art! It’s in CPM3V too! #theocdhunter
@@TheOCDHunter The Ambush Tundras have sold out, the only models left in stock are the Alpha & Bravo. The TH-cam channel Virtuovoice did a nice review of the Tundra several years ago . . . Unless you requested at time of purchase from DLT or sent in to BRK later, the Tundra came in a flat, sabre grind (not the usual BRK convex), though it could be re-profiled to convex. The original was only offered in 3V, had a blade length of about 4.5 inches, overall length of 9.5 inches and blade thickness of 0.150. Mine is in Chechen Burl and Mosaic pins.
AZ-Chris yeah I’ve watched that video. Love listening to him. I just stared my channel, but I plan on doing a review on mine when I get a chance. I only have 3 videos up, but I have 6 on the computer I have to get edited. Once again thx for the info. Blessings #theocdhunter
That'll cut up a few moose. 👍
Hello. My name is Skep and I’m a Bark-a-holic...
👍👌👊🤙😎
The Bushcrafter works much better!!!
🤔😉😏🤠😎💒👍
NICE VID THANKS.YEAH GOOD KNIFE BUT I REMEMBER WHEN BARK RIVER FIRST STARTED AND THEIR PRICING WAS REASONABLE NOW I THINK THAT BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY BARK RIVER NOW MUST DEMAND HIGHER PRICES,EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A PRODUCTION KNIFE MAKER -OK BUT I WOULD RATHER BUY FROM SOME ONE ELSE,I DON'T EVEN LOOK AT THEIR KNIVES ANY MORE-THEY NEED TO GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND ACT LIKE A HIGH PRODUCTION COMPANY THAT THEY ARE-ANY WAY I LIKE BIGGER KNIVES AND THIS LITTLE BUGGER IS KINDA CUTE BUT NOT FOR ME -THANKS FOR THE INFO-
Have you SEEN the expansions they've had to do? Plus materials prices inflate like everything else in the world.
Bark river knife channel....lol
