Crowell/Barker Browning Cutting Competition knife???

[d.weglarz13]

Hey guys. I am looking for a great chopping blade and I just saw the Crowell/Barker cutting competition knife from Browning, and I wanted to know if anyone has it or knows about it. I would love a real competition knife from Gayle Bradley or Warren Osborne, but I don't think I can find or afford one right now. Any advice on this knife would be great. Thanks.

it seems to be nice. heres a review from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvRe__VUYYU also for about 80 bucks or so you can the becker bk7 which is really nice.

I can't tell you how it would do in a competition- although Mr. Crowell and Mr. Barker do seem to know a thing or two about the subject- but I can tell you that it feels good in my hand, has a nice balance and swing to it and the fit and finish on mine is excellent- an amazing value for the price, at least IMO.

I had one and liked it a lot. Sold it towards a Busse eventually, then sold the Busse, now thinking I might try to find the Browning again. Some past reviews:
