Brand New In the Original Box Bark River Knives Trail Buddy in A2 tool steel with Black Micarta Handle. This is a new knife in the Professional Series by Bark River. The blade length is 4.25" and the thickness is 0.187". The blade is convex ground down to zero, i.e. there is no micro bevel. The tip is strong enough to go through a brick wall and not even feel it. Overall length is 8".
The handle is made of bullet-proof Black Micarta. It is aesthetically appealing and offers a very secure handle grip. The full tang of the knife extends past the handle and forms a large striking surface which also offers an ample lanyard slot.
This classic blade has its roots in the 1914 design of George W. Brooks, the Editor in Chief of 'The Outer's Book' (Pre- Forest & Stream). Brooks designed the original and Webster Marble produced it as their Woodcraft. The Trail Buddy is Mike Stewart's version of that design. The point has been lowered and the banana like relationship of the handle and blade has been removed, giving it a more modern and streamlined look that has an even better cutting belly. Its point is also more in the centerline of the knife.
The end result is a compact, light, and fast handling General Purpose Hunter/Skinner that reflects the purpose of the original design by G.W. Brooks. It is a real trail buddy in your hunting trip. It will handle any large game in North America with ease. It also makes a great camp knife for dealing with cooking chores. This is a very solid knife and it is amazingly sharp!
The Trail Buddy comes with its own sheath from Great Lakes Leather Works. The knife and the sheath are totally new. Opened only for these photos. Every Bark river knife is covered with a lifetime warranty.
Price is $144 with USPS Money Order or personal check or, $149 with Paypal and includes shipping with delivery confirmation anywhere in the USA. Personal checks are accepted provided you agree that I will ship this knife after your check clears. NO TRADES please.
