Bark River question

[Esav Benyamin]

I think anyone having trouble keeping an A2 Bark River sharp isn't having trouble with the A2, but with the convex edge.

Here's a few pages of information on sharpening a convex edge:

Stretch makes good enough sheaths to quit his day job, if he wanted. I'd like to learn how to do that.

Any tips for tightening up a loose, deep pouch-style sheath? My Northstar isn't loose yet, but I can see it coming down the road.

I appreciate the compliment, Foilist, but the truth be known if there was enough money in it, I'd quit my day job and be trying!!!!!!!

I thought about a hot soak like you did with your mini-C, but I think I'm just going to wait until I make one for it. I've been wearing it on my hip all day while I did an electrical job out in the well house, using it to cut open plastic bags and shrink wrap, and cut the plastic coating back from the Romex. Each time I sheathed it, I thought about the fit. The sheath is pretty good as is, so I'll just wait. ((( )))

I really like BRK&T. So far I have only used the Fox river. I have had this knife for about 2 years and it gets used most days. The A2 steel holds a very sharp edge, its easy to sharpen and combined with the designe of the knife will handle many different cutting jobs.

I have a Gameskeeper put aside for christmass and two Bravo 1's on the way, so I would definatly recomend any of the Bark River knives.
