Bark River Bravo III - Custom Handle

snowwolf · May 9, 2016

I don't know what BR had in mind when they designed the handle. It's very small and down right dangerous as it just want to leave your hand unless secured to your wrist with a cord.
So I asked Eric to fix it... Here's what he came up with.

Stock Bravo III

The Bravo III new handle made by Eric Seguin - Knife maker.

It's very comfortable in the hand and so much safer on both ends. The grip will stay where it belongs.

This is how it should have been made in the first place.

The breaks

I am an extremely happy camper now

You mean the stock Bravo (bottom) vs GSO? Yeah sort of. Fine handle for a short knife. Not appropriate for a .275" and 22oz monster

yeah kinda reminded of the gso 10 i like those designs straight choppers

Right. Ihe looks is very similar... Fairly lighter though. GSO is 0.2 and 10 inch blade while the Bravor is 0.275 and 12inch blade.

Anyway... The focus was more on the custom handle VS the stock one.

How much does a custom handle like that run? Just curious...

Knife maker charged me $80CAD (+-60USD) including the required trims to the sheath to fit the new shape.
