Bark River Woodland

Just some quick impressions of the knife, haven't gotten to use it much yet. This is my first knife with a convex edge. I don't know why but I never liked the look of the blade tapering down without a visible edge bevel. Well, I got past it and ordered the Woodland in Blaze Orange G-10. First impressions are that it is a small but very beefy knife. It is slightly longer than my Dozier straight personal but considerably thicker and heavier. It definitely feels very solid in the hand. I cut a few things with that convex edge and it sliced through like a laser. It seems kind of strange the way that deceptive edge just passes through materials. The stock is fairly thick at the top and just tapers down to almost nothing.

I really like the blaze orange G-10, I have a weakness for colored slabs. Of course this one guarantees you won't lose it in the grass if you drop it. The G-10 is shaped and finished perfectly, I feel the quality is well above the $75 I paid for it. And it's a first production run to boot - now I'll really feel guilty when I start to give it a workout. Oh yeah, the sheath. It's adequate but this baby cries out for a kydex sheath.

Here's a pic from Bayou Lafourche Knifeworks where I bought it. They're a top notch dealer - shipped the knife the day they got payment and they have a link to UPS tracking right on their site. Nice!

Bright handles tend to get strange looks at times, but they come in handy if you lay your knives down, especially in the woods. Nice clean design on the woodland.

Torz, good initial impression. I just got a Northstar last week and I am amazed by it. My only problem is do I start buying a ton of their stuff or take it easy?! Tough problem, I know. It would be easier if I had diposable income! Anyway, on the sheath, you would have to send the knife to me, but I can make something up for you. I'd like the opportunity to see another BRKT in person, so even though I don't do custom sheaths anymore (except for my own knives), I'd be willing to make an exception to check that knife out. Drop me an email if you're interested. You'd be without your new toy for about a week and half, though.
