Hi everyone, I have a question that I cant seem to find much on. Is the Bark River Trailmate any good? I bought one online (a2 steel and bocote wood), but it hasnt yet shipped. I was wondering if anyone has had any good or bad experience with these knives? There isnt much info on the internet it seems, just a lot of talk about the owner of BRK, Mike Stewart. I have no experience with him, so I cant speak to that. I just want to know how the community feels about the knives themselves, specifically the Trailmate.
Also, does Bark River use stabilized wood? I have never had or heard of bocote wood, and I want something durable. I am a hunter and angler, and general outdside kind of guy, so I dont want a knife that I have to baby. The Trailmate seems like a good design and I like the materials on paper, but this knife will work for a living so it needs to be a good one.
It just seems like I cant get the straight scoop here online. Just lots of drama. I really dont want any drama in this thread please so lets all stay civil and keep the focus where it belongs, on the product. Im sorry if this seems like a silly question, its just tough to wade through all the b.s. here online, so Im asking directly.
