Hello Chris, this was a great review for a really good looking knife. It's the perfect size for just about every outdoor hiking/backpacking task. Thank you for sharing. Be safe out there. 🤗
Beautiful knife, love the double guard. I'm gonna order mine now. Great video, thanks!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing
Very nice knife great job yet again Chris
Everything you said ! Looks great !
Do you have one of the new Bark River Smoke Jumpers coming in soon for review?
the second best sandstorm after, of course, Darude - Sandstorm
Always makes me think of Wanderlei Silva and his reign of dominance over the PRIDE middleweight division!!!
JackG79 You mean cris cyborg without a dress?
Awesome knife!!!
Hey Chris, your feather sticks are looking awesome. I remember way back when they used to look like a pile of wooden nickels. I don't like top guards, but this knife is amazing. Also, the CPM-154 is a great steel. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
Great review of a very nice knife. I have 3 Bark River knives and the Sandstorm could very well be my fourth. I really liked that knife so I have to save up some money..
This is the channel to see the latest quality knives. Keep em coming
Lon Humphrey has been getting my money lately . Retribution
I'm wondering. It's a really good looking knife but three rivets and a lanyard hole in a hidden tang? how strong is it?
Woh lol "give me that I want to use it' in the cornholio voice lol awesome
Very nice, but I'm wondering if that top side guard gets in the way of your thumb when in use. The lower guard seems to be perfect against slipping into the blade. I'm just not sure about that upper guard that ascends above the spine.
Love your videos great information what's your opinion on lansky knives Michael from Scotland
Which is better this knife or Kephart and where did you get the cargo pants
Thanks for the video. The knife doesn’t do it for me. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I understand what the bottom guard is for but what is the top one for? Stabbing power?
I mostly use 1095, the 440's an the best steel I have is A2 an this is nothing against anyone who uses the super steels, but I have never had a failure with any of the above mentioned, I am self admittedly cheap when it comes to blades, my Prodigy is still one of the best knives out there for my taste. I do have a bark river, highland special, an love it too, its my edc blade an the prodigy goes on my side any time I venture in the woods or swamp around my neck of the woods. Thanks Chris love te vids!
I remember the first Sandstorm in the mid 2000's, abiut 2005. They were in A2 if I recall correctly.
That is a great looking knife and I like the look of the sheath also and you can tell that both was well made and just what those like myself would love and if it wasn't so expensive I would have to buy it. Their knives are made for those with plenty of money to waste though and the working class like myself can't afford it. I have some in that category and they are in my collection except for one which I keep for general use, and one other which I have on my utility belt to carry when going camping.
very nice blade,I like it.
Beautiful knife.
My blood pressure drops when Chris does a feathersticking video😁
I want one NOW !
Looks like a solid general purpose knife.
Very, very nice.
I changed my mind. I already watched this video 3 times. I love this knife and when they make it in 3v, cruwear, or m390 I will get mine immediately. Maybe 2 of them. And this will be my outdoor all time carry.
Cool!
Chris, how is the best way to store your knives? Or if anyone out there knows
Nice knife for sure .
damn, another new temptation
I'm pretty sure Jim Stewart said the tang goes down far enough that the lanyard tube goes through it. So you still get the strength of a full tang. Very nice knife!
Oh, I'm sure it does. Just doesn't poke out the back.
@@preparedmind101 that's what I was thinking. Thanks!
I've been intrigued with this knife for a while now. I did some research and apparently it's based on a Bob Loveless Chute knife. It was designed for paratroopers, thus "chute".
It's just beautiful...I love my Bark River but if you're going to expect it to be an all around hard worker I think it's going to need a grippier handle treatment. Something like esees micarta that just gets stickier when wet. I just heard Chris say something about a non polished handle option- I'm not familiar with Bark Rivers un polished scales...can anyone advise me and tell me if the unpolished scales are that kind of grippy. Thanks for your help in advance!
It's a matte finish
Love the Sandstorm, awesome knife. You should check out the new Kizer Sequoia, outstanding edc,camping,hiking and hunting knife.
Love your vids.. watch em all. This one looks like something I might pick up... My suggestion for future vids.. especially for knives like this.. include some footage of how field knives perform outside of outdoor activities... how does it slice through canvas.. or cardboard.. how does it stab.. can it slice through rope quickly.. etc... just .02 cents.. thanx!
You mean "Newb stuff"? Maybe on brands or designs that are complete unknowns. I've been doing this too long. I can hold a knife in my hand and know, especially if it is one of the companies that I'm used to. And unfortunately, there isn't enough return anymore to spend hours setting up gratuitous footage to find out something I already know. Stick within the parameters of the things you KNOW and you can know what it'll do just by holding it. The videos add a tremendous amount of information outside of looking at a picture on a website. I don't bother with the 10,000 other variables.
Message!!!! Ding lol
That’s sick!!!!
Can you do a review of the new LT Wright Switchback ?. They just listed them on Knives ship free ,I think DLT Trading might have them too not sure.
I’ve been thinking bout getting this knife and other bark river knives but what worries me is sharpening them. I don’t have a power sharpener and idk if you can sharpen a convex edge on a stone. I just feel like if I can’t sharpen a blade on a stone than it’s kind of useless to me.
You CAN sharpen it on a stone. What's your take on stropping to make it go further between sharpenings? Also, once you have a knife, make it your own and do it your way.
Do you have a BR smoke jumper on order right now? I bet you do, looking forward to your video about it. And I bet it gets "J listed" as well! :)
For the price I wish they were full tang and CPM-3V steel...
That would eliminate its advantage of being lighter and more portable. Its not alot of difference. You don't pay for amount and type of steel, they all take the same amout of build to produce.
Show us the difference between bravo 2 gen 2 and gen 1
Chris which honing rod would you suggest for tuning a knife..diamond or ceramic?
Ceramic
Thank you Chris
Total ‘videogame knife’. Excellent. I’d like to see it with a Bravo Vortex handle. While I’m wishing I’d like a Vortex in CPM-154 or Cruwear for that matter.
Another awesome knife from Bark River... Don't think it will replace my Bravo1 but still a nice option... Surprised you haven't done a tour video of the Bark River factory... They seem like really good people... Even though you're a Buckeye, we will let you pass through unscathed for such a trip...
Funny comment!! LOL
8:40 Was that a dig at Dave Canterbury? LOL!
Probably not specifically but generally ya. All those guys had lists and criteria though.
Gunny Vortex or Sandstorm, you are choosing which one to take camping, which one do you choose?
I have both and it would be a tough choice
I have a XL glove size , I'm torn between the Sandstorm and the Wilderness because of the handle size .
I'd go Wilderness Explorer, but it's a lot heavier. The handle is generous and it's a clever in hand knife for bring so generous sized.
Chris, have you ever tested the Bark River Survivor knife?
I appreciate your thoughts on this!
I just got my Bravo Survivor and it's the perfect one-tool option for me. I highly recommend to anyone who is even considering it. If you think it might be right for you, it's probably right for you!
@@thebob6385 thinking about Survivor these days!
Size is right. Nice looking knife.
nice vid Chris. I think I'll just keep my 3v Bark River Cub. The Sandstorm looks a lot like my cub.
Reminds me of a Buck 119. Pretty cool
Sweet!! I am going to be in trouble!! She will get over it in time!!
Always easier to apologize later than ask for "permission" now!!
Matthew Shannon yep!
Shoot....i know where it has a sweet spot now.....my ❤ but seriously bark river again for the win. It definitely hits that sweet spot 😂 great vid Chris need a price though. See you next time.
May have to add another to my Bark River collection
What the hell , Christmas is coming.
might be my gripe, but if i can't see the tang, i am just not 100% sure that the tang is full, unless i see the manufacturing process of the knife and see how its zipped together ill unfortunately have to pass
Would be %100 my perfect choice without upper part of the guard. That ‘s always a pin in the neck. Anyway, great job BR and great review. Thank You ✨
Exactly what I was about to comment! For me, the bottom guard is essential but the top half of the guard is just in the way.
I agree.. Wilderness explorer would be perfect for you.
Matthew Shannon Bought that because I fell for it. Thank you 🔪✨
AB173 Matthew Shannon Bought that because I fell for it. thxxx 🔪✨
It happens. Nice blade.. enjoy
It looks like the Al Mar 2000
Don't bother this Bark river fan boy, with such trivial information. He doesn't like it. Moreover, I bet he never heard of Al Mar. He's all about American makers...
@Gangster of Love For me, it's hard to argue with both observations. Out of 10 reviews, how many are BR blades? When was the last time, something non US made, was being reviewed?
Do you have a video on how you like to oil your sheaths or leather in general? I know I should probably just go search the channel, but honestly I don’t have time right now ha ha
STEP 1: Buy Obenaufs leather oil
STEP 2: Slather oil on sheath
STEP 3: Wait till it dries
I hope Bark river solder their guard in the future.
Very beatiful y quality, but i think It is too much expensive for a knife, in spite of It is so good, great review
Where can u get a knife tgat likes like that feels like that cuts like that if this steel for less?
Not to mention Bark Rivers life time warranty!
man I want one of these might have to sell something
Solid stainless, easy to get razor sharp.
Cpm154 is a great steel, I actually like as much if not more, dare I say than 3 v
What makes you say that?
For their knives being in the $250+ price range, and I do have a few, I feel they’re a tad overpriced. At least solder the hilt for that much.
Solder and nickle silver? That would put Randall-made out of relevance
Hey Chris, nice vid - what, no Bark River GAW?? Well I 'm keeping my fingers crossed! Hope all's well with everyone/thing. Take care, "God Bless", sincerely Randy. 🤩🙏😇🤞👊
Looks like al mar shiva..
👍🏾👍🏾
Never seen a Bark River I did not like. That is my problem.
This or the wilderness explorer?
Both!! This has a bit better handle, because the Explorer is thiner for pinchgriping as a hunting knife. This is more of a general use tactical knife, similar to the Gerber Strongarm. It's like a super perfect Strongarm! The Explorer, is a hunting knife for big game. If you are hunting bears, go for the Explorer, if you are a preper, survivalist or a soldier, go with the Sandstorm! Explorer comes in 2 different grinds, the full convex, slices better than the Sandstorm but the Sandstorm is more robust blade and still a great slicer with that convex edge, it's still very thin behind the edge! Keep in mind that the Explorer, is 4mm blade thickness, while the Sandstorm is 5mm. Because of the handle ergos and the fact, that the Sandstorm can do more, I would go with the Sandstorm. CPM154, is the steel that has it all. Stainless, TOUGH! easy to sharpen and good edge retention! Plus, it's carbides, make it cut way better, than any carbon steel for example!! CPM154, 52100, Vanadis 4 E are some of my favorite steels for fixed blades. M390 is also a really high quality steel , that's the steel I would ove all my folding knives, or small fixed blades to have!!! For tougher jobs and larger knives, the 3 steels I mentioned, are the best IMO!
S1 forest ?
But with a nicer handle. Ya.
Great chris. ..another nice knife. Thanks. Lol
Did you ever review the TOPS B.O.B. knife ?
Like a million years ago
Tough one to sell, eh? I mean, Bark River needs to solve those uneven grinds issues in order to justify increased prices. After some 15 Barkies, I am definitely looking in other directions such as LT Wright. Much better value for money.
The ones I get are usually "seconds". If there's one on this one I didn't notice. The blemishes on the last one didn't even show on camera. I've never seen a flaw on anything I've gotten off DLT.
@@preparedmind101 I believe you. Still, it is expected that DLT makes sure you get the good ones. The worst I have is North Country EDC 1st Production run. It is so uneven, one can see it from the distance. Just recently, I bought Mountain Man 8 inches... also uneven. My Kephart in 4V in Turkish walnut with black liners and mosaic pins - scales not glued to the steel. Still, I am not angry, just sad. Bark River has great designs and the steel is well heat treated (as far as I can tell), but I don't find myself burning to get "that new Barkie". Especially now when the prices are just off the charts. I do wish Mr. Stewart and his people all the best but my money now goes mainly to LT Wright offerings.
They just went live. Prices start at $247
Good review...for a Navy guy
Semper Fi
Gunny
I'm broke. How about a giveaway? 😉
John Gergen fact! Me too
Man I wanted this knife but the price is insane i've never spent $100 on a knife no matter how bad I wanted it only widow shopping for me
Looks a lot like a copy of a Loveless chute Knife. Don’t like the three pins...picky I know.
Why such a janky steel?
Huh?
Looks like a buck 119
Uncle shaky you don't know s***
Dude, not a woodcraft knife. Basically abusing that thing
Put down the bong.
Pick up a pair of nuts
Bark river all over all the time...bye bye.
I bought a Bark River Bravo something years ago. It was the worst piece of shit knife I have ever had. It would not hold an edge, handle was slippery, just awful. No Bark River ever again.
