Mr. kbaug,
Why don't you just order one.
I am kind of sure that they make more every other month.
It is a very popular model.
I believe that one of the largest dealers is a company called, Knives Ship Free.
They seem to be able to get people what they want in Bark Rivers and other brands.

DLT Trading at http://www.dlttradingcompany.com/ has a huge inventory of Bark Rivers and they are also good people to deal with.
As Bad Axe says, call a dealer and tell what you need. Who knows, it may have just come in!

Two basic methods;
1. call or e-mail KSF or DLT and ask them to include a knife like you want in the next run form Bark River. This may take quite a while depending on the production schedule. You can go over to knifeforum and send Mike Stewart a personal message asking when the next production run will be. He is a real nice and helpful guy.
2. Buy the cheapest Bravo-1 you can find and send it to Mike at Bark River for a rehandle job. If it is used he can give it the "spa treatment" with a blade polish and resharpening. This will cost you around 70.00 in addition to the price of the Bravo-1. The advantage here is immediate gratification compared to waiting on a production run and depending on the deal you can get on a new or used Bravo-1 it may end up being cheaper, but not by much.
I am facing the same problem. I want a natural canvas Micarta Aurora. No one to be found anywhere so far. I guess I am looking at a rehandle job after my bank account recovers from the Golok run.

I ordered mine from DLT.(Actually, the Bravo 1 was off the shelf[1st production run] The mikro II, fire steel and kydex had to be ordered) Real easy to deal with.

A third way is to have the dealer check if there are any finished blades, and have the handle of your choice put on it. That's how I got my Canadian Special - Jeff McKnight asked Mike Stewart, who had some finished blades, and he put my handle on it. It didn't take very long.

Call Derrik at www.knivesshipfree.com. I was able to get the first Bravo 1 in full handled sheephorn and it is a beautiful blade. It's much nicer than the one that has the bolsters.:thumbup:
