Well, I am as happy as a clam with the arrival of the Big Sky Camp knife. I decided to bite the bullet with a bit of coaxing from Big Mike and reading his review on another forum. Man is this a nice hunk of steel. I don't have a lengthy review, but thought I would post some photos of it with the rest of my BRKT posse.

I have average sized hands. This is a significant knife. Shaved very easily out of the box. Nice canvas micarta handles. A bit plain but very functional.

Family photo as it were. From left to right, Big Sky Camp, Bravo 1, Gunny, Woodland Special, and Little Creek.

The only knife I have in the same size range as the Big Sky Camp is the Falkniven A2. I add this to show approximate size. The A2 has a bit longer blade, grip is a bit more tacky, but the Big Sky is a more 'hand filling' grip. Both are extremely solid feeling knives.

This is a bit blurry, but gives an idea of blade comparison. A2 on left and Big Sky on right.

OK, just took this one because I thought it was a cool photo!! The Little Creek is my EDC.

Nice collection. I have been fighting off the nagging allure of buying either a Big Sky, Rogue Bowie, or A2.
Which do you prefer and why between the A2 and Big Sky in terms of a camp knife(or whatever you use it for)?
 
Some fine looking steel there. :thumbup: I have a Fallkniven A2 and BRKT Bravo 2 as camp knives, both very capable indeed.

Milani,

Just got it. Haven't put it to use yet. The A2 has done a fair amount of traveling with me. I am eager to put the two against each other.

Thanks Doc. I look forward to your future review, especially the grip of the A2. I have a SRK and wonder if it feels similar to the grips of the A2.
