A small Fixed Blade, belt carry, is my favorite EDC. I have quite a few, including this Bark River Adventurer. I have a few Bark Rivers and of all of them the Adventurer is by far my favorite. I'm surprised a 'buzz' has never developed around this knife. It should. The in-hand fit and balance is perfect with index finger in the choil and thumb on the blade spine jimping you feel the scalpel control like a neurosurgeon. Yet with the tough CPM20CV steel, convex ground it's tough enough to hack away at branches, wood, whatever, it will edge hold.
Could easily field dress a deer/moose/elk for an experienced hunter. At 6 3/4" OAL it's small, so never in the way. It comes with a neck sheath with magnets inside, holds perfectly, but i paid extra for the belt sheath.
O.K., thanks for reading, picture time:
It's hard to impart how highly i think of this knife. Of my about 40 small custom 'Utility' Fixed Blades that i have, i think this one is best overall.
Before you rush and buy one, my hands are just a bit ob the smaller than average for an adult white male.
I'd like to hear from someone with larger hands who owns this knife and find out if they feel the perfection of balance that i get in my hand.
