I received my brand new BR in the mail yesterday and another knife (different brand: ER Shrapnel)....Two at once...how cool is that?
The BR is impressive...super sharp, heavy and appears very durable...I'm taking it up to our lake cabin in North Idaho today and clearing brush and aspen trees...it's been a wet cool spring here and it's a freaking jungle up there....
I really like the resiprene handle for a big chopper like this. I'm planning on ordering the CT in the new tactical line when it comes out, but I think this Resiprene will be great for a day of heavy chopping.
It didn't take long to get a true, funny BR story tho...my 13 year old was sitting at the dining room table holding and examining the knife (probably swinging it through the air) when a sheriff's deputy (who was looking for a kid who went berserk at his grandma's house up the street and knows my boys) walks up to the back slider....he sees my son with this huge blade and his eyes get big as saucers and asks if my son is the berserk kid....I can just imagine that deputy thinking "omg this isn't gonna be fun"
