A Custom knife and a Barkie

[tedwca]

I got a little custom Eaglehead knife from Oupa's Outback Knife Workshop in Australia's Boneyard series, it called The Gatekeeper. I won this one in a raffle thanks to M. Taylor.

It's about 6.5" OAL with a 2.5" blade made from ATS34 steel. The bone is filled with a ceramic resin to reinforce it. The knife is really unique and I honored to have it. I was also amazed it only took about a week to get here from Australia, pretty fast shipping. Anyways, thanks Dirk for a really great knife.

I also got the BRKT Bravo-1 and it's a little tank at .215" thick. It's not as stout as the Dumpster Mutt, but thicker than any of my other Bark Rivers. It has a 4.25" blade and is 9" OAL and is made from A-2 steel. It weighs 7.4 oz. It's scary sharp also as I've come to expect from Bark Rivers.

I'm not a fan of the eagle's head, but everything else looks amazing.

I love Dirk's work. How creative is that?

Is that the Antique Ivory micarta on the Bravo? Very nice indeed. I've been hoping for one of these for a while. but have a ways to go before I can swing it.

Love that little blade as well. ATS-34 is the best.

Yes, it is the Antique Ivory micata handle. Not my first choice, but better than the other 3 choices I had available and he didn't make it with black micarta with mosaic pins like the rest of my Barkies, so why not go completely different.


BTW - My second choice was the Bright Blue handle, but they were already gone.
