Hi
I was wondering if any of you members have information on the B.R Camp Canadian it looks like a pretty beefy knife and well suited for camp chores.
Thanks:)
 
I'd like to see one in hand and in use also. I really like the Canadian series. :thumbup:

You might want to also take a look at some other BRKT knives if you want a beefy camp knife
Rogue
Bravo-II (CAD Drawing just released)
Boundary Rider (in production queue)

Whatever you get be sure to post picture of the knife in use so that we can all drool.:D
 
I have a Canadian Camp knife and a Bravo-1. I was hiking in the rain with the Bravo-1 one weekend. The very wet dog decided that she wanted to play fetch so I started tossing the tennis ball into a field. I tried using the Bravo-1 to chop a few branches off of a low pine or cedar tree so I could get out of the rain and keep tossing the ball. The Bravo-1 wasn't a great chopper so I had to bend the branches and slice. It worked well but a larger blade would have been better in the rain. It was a great excuse to order another knife so I bought a Canadian Camp knife.

I carry the the Canadian Camp knife whenever rain is likely and the Bravo-1 other times. On the 4th of July I was solo camping in the mountains of West Virginia. The sky opened up and soaked me. Then a thick fog rolled in when I was setting up camp. I wasn't prepared to start a fire in a thick fog. Dry paper would smolder and not burn. NATO matches would start but the wood of the match wouldn't even catch. I had the gear to spend the night wet without a fire. But a fire is an important psychological thing when I'm out alone. So I hiked out. It started pouring again and the rocky path up out of the valley was getting treacherous (the way down the mountain was even worse). I needed a walking stick. Visibility was ~25ft but my glasses kept fogging so I couldn't see anywhere near that far. The Canadian Camp knife chopped me a walking stick fast from a small fallen tree when there was no baton immediately available. I would have made it out of the valley without the walking stick. But I would have been forced to unhappily make camp on the way down the mountain without the walking stick. I'm not sure if I would have seen any batoning material to use with the Bravo-1. The Canadian Camp knife got me down the mountain.
 
Sorry I don;t have any pics in action or in-hand, but here's a comparison with a Bravo-1 and Northstar.

I love the Canadian Camp, and I've used it in the yard to chop off suckers from pyracantha and also, like Fzen, to trim a few low branches on a couple of our pines. It's started two camp fires (with ferrocerium rods) and that's about it.

The only problem I have with the knife is the handle design and shape. I DOES NOT feel (to me) good in the hand. It always feels as if it needs more beef here or there in the handle scales. I live with it and make it work, but it's a little bothersome. If BRKT could put a Bravo-1 handle shape on the Canadians, they'd be perfect for me.

Great story man! I'll be carrying this knife to every camping/hiking trip, it doesn't matter if the weather is dry like the in the Mojave of it's raining like in the Amazon rain season.

I personally love the grip feeling on most knives with that handle design.

7-inch blade. About the same size as a Ka-bar fighting knife. The Bravo-II also has an extended tang on the butt of the knife.

The lower image is the CAD of the Bravo-II
