Bark River Bravo III? WOW!

I use McNett Camo Form Wrap on my slick handles. I have it wrapped on one of my Bravo III's in the photos above.
 
Thanks for the heads up that stuff looks great. I won't have to deal with glue reside after I take off. Cheers!

How do you like the Golok vs. BIII vs GSO-10? Of those 3, I like the look of the Golok the best but the images don't tell me how it balances or how it chops. I assume it's lighter than the BIII... I only have the GSO-10.
 
How are people liking this so far? Was thinking of a Busse, but this is much more affordable, and it's in shiny! =)
 
So, only one youtube video that really didn't show it in action except a little battoning at the end? Surely these have been chopped with a good bit by now? Anyone?

Was hoping to see some chop-off's by now. Hardly any reviews and no real youtube videos!!

I know this isn't the kind of "chop-off" you're looking for, but I did chop this oak branch off with my GSO10 :) Still razor sharp

Looks like my knives will be here Saturday, I will be putting up the Bravo 1 up for sale, in case anyone is interested.
 
OK, got both knives in, the Bravo 1 is damn near unused, looks like he MIGHT have cut some small limbs with it once, maybe twice, and that's IT. It comes with the drop down attachment, the original box, cardboard blade sheath and white paper wrap. I am going to ask $170 for it in the for sale section and will be putting it up for sale tonight if anyone is interested, let me know.

The Bravo 3 is in similar shape, but DOES have slight edge damage with a some tiny nicks in the blade (unlike what his ebay ad stated), you can see the stains near the belly of the knife as it goes towards the tip, 10 to one odds, he over swung and hit the ground (That had some small rocks in it) with it. This pic shows what I am talking about, but not too clearly I'm afraid it's the area I circled, and the one part that does show up in the pic is where the arrow points:

The Bravo 3's sheath's strap has a cut in it, this was mentioned in the Ebay ad, and with this kind of design I can see it easily happening if you're not careful pulling it out :

The Bravo 3 is single handidly the stoutest knife I have ever had or held in my hands in my LIFE!!! As I unsheathed it, I got a sense of how Arthur felt when he pulled Excalibur from the stone.

Honestly, I don't know if I will keep the Bravo 3 or not, it's a lot of weight to be humping around the woods, but you definitely won't need an axe, that's for sure.

I'd be surprised if this knife didn't appear in either the next Arnold Schwarzenegger movie or Expendables 3.

I guess I'll decide once I take this thing into the woods with me and do some chopping/cutting with it. But before that, I need to get me a good strop and some compound, this is my very first convex edge knife, so I want to be able to sharpen it back up once I've tried it out for myself.

Then I'll know if it's something that I'll want to keep or not. If not, I'm sure I won't have too much trouble finding a buyer, lol.

It's a big knife for sure, but it seems like that picture is kinda intentionally misleading about the size. Unless those binoculars actually have lenses the size of corby bolts, that is. :p

Looks like the photo is super imposed on another.I have the Bravo2 and it's screaming sharp.
