Well for weeks I was looking for bushcraft/camping knife. I found some i really like but to exp. for me like woodlore and some hand made, I allso like F1 alot but i wanted something more classic.I prefer the look of droppoint ower spear point so today I ordered Bark River Fox River with Brazilian Rosewood Mosaic Pins . I will juse it with Gransfors Bruks mini as combo. What do you guys think, did I made good move?Yea and i wanted knife around 4 inch.
 
I like BRKT knives. Owned many of them and liked them all. Great steel, wicked sharp convex grind:thumbup:

If you're happy with them, it doesn't matter what we think, but I would say you did:D
 
Nope.. Terrible choice..:eek:

Send it to me, and I'll get rid of that terrible thing for you!:rolleyes:

Just kidding. They are really nice knives, and the Gransfors mini will compliment it nicely!:cool:

Great Choice:thumbup: REMEMBER to post some pics when it get's there!

Personally I think Brazilian Rosewood with Mosaic Pins is a great choice. I went with Antique Stag, but it's really personal choice. Going with a GB Mini is good too. There I went with the slightly bigger Wildlife hatchet, again it's personal choice.
 
I took mini because is more light, what are your experience with fox river model? Any down side?
 
Some folks think that non-stainless is a downside, I don't. You've got chopping covered with the GB mini and the Fox River should do well at most other things a knife needs to do. It's a good choice for a general purpose field knife.

Um, heck yes. That'll be a great combo. Betcha can't wait for the mailman.

Knife arived today and is great.Shape, size everything fits me. Ill post photos tomorrow
 
I've been drooling over a Fox River for over a year and I finally purchased one last December. The fit and finish was superb, and it was shaving sharp out of the box. The only criticism I have is that the handle is too small for my large hands. This would have been very disappointing is it was not for the fact that I bought it for Mrs. Q and it rides today in the trunk of her car with the rest of her PSK. However, if you are a lagre guy with big hands I would recommend that you hold a Fox River before you buy one. $0.02
 
Absolutely a good decision!

I had to get a Fox River, being called Fox and having foxes at the end of our garden. Mine was previously owned and needed a little TLC to the edge, but it's by far my favourite knife. Easily hair-popping sharp and even takes the tops off a little. Takes all the tops off if I do my chest rather than my arm! Mine has the green and black linen handle and hollow pins. The mosaic pins look really nice though.

I think CitizenQ's remark about the small handle is correct. I have medium size hands and it just fits perfectly. I think if my hands were larger it would be a touch small.

Something that is always an option... Contact Mr. Stewart and send your knife to Bark River, and get it re-handled! He is very willing to help out!
