anyone w/ experience w/ Bark River Nebula?

[mtwarden]

I was looking at this knife as an all around bushcrafter- couple of things jump out- hidden tang- is this going to be a concern?

it's a scandi/convex grind- interesting- seems advantageous, but maybe not???

I like the blade profile, length and it's thick, but not overly thick- the handle seems generous

didn't find much on this knife searching

thanks in advance

Bark River’s stainless Bushcrafter, I see the Hidden Tang/Convex Scandi as Mike Stewart’s nod to Scandinavian style knives in general.

It is much like its cousin the Aurora in size and shape.

The Bark River’s 12C27 is a very tough stainless that is up to the task.


As far as Hidden Tang Concerns? I use all my Hidden Tang Knives hard and have never really had an issue.


The Nebula is no longer in production, so it might be hard to find.

thanks a bunch- they have so many knives in the "medium-ish" size, bushcrafter style it's hard to chose

not complaining mind you, but would like to make a somewhat intelligent choice

I hear there is a new Bark River Bushcrafter in the works,


…a “Little Brother” to the Aurora.


It will come in a bit smaller then Nebula/Aurora, but have a larger handle then the Northstar.

ahhh- I better keep my eye out for that

Rumor has it that this might be Bark River’s next use of CPM 3V,

…but no specs have been released.

Mike,

I now officially hate you.

Sounds like a great knife all around. I know that the KF H&C Knife was just about perfect for me - this sounds along that vein.

Now this might be worth a look, especially if its' in 3V



Kind regards
