well, Imo....It might be:cool:

ITs double cut....thats a plus:)

Its basically the same size and same thickness with a sharper point for poking and stabbing.

Its still should chop well

THe handle is a litttle longer and tapers away gradually with "SF" style butt which would alleviate any and all pinky pinch.

Its way rarer!


Input please:thumbup:

Sweet! :thumbup:

Those BARFs feel amazing in the hand, don't they?

THe Barfs are really in a league of their own:thumbup:

Regardless, of whether they have the ring or not.

THe nice thing about it even with the ring... there is enough handle to choke back for more leverage out of the ring, and still get your whole hand on it for making powerful chops....something that can be a little painful with a full knuckle guard.
 
I once wrote Garth and asked about getting a custom done on a BARF blank, but I never followed through on it. Picture a 6" long swedge grind....
 
That is yet another awesome blade!!! Where the heck do you keep pulling these beasters out of??? I dont think there is a USER BARF in existance??? Much less a plain edge ringless.....

I will say congrats on all your toothless BARFs though...
truely hard to come by, very rare blades! :cool:[/SIZE]

You know it:thumbup::D


Thanks for the kind words;)
 
Sweet blade Trevor. Barfs are still some of my favorite designs. Lightning fast in the hand and can still chop like a demon.


Congrats Bro,
Garth
 
I'll never know if its the perfect big knife or not, cause I'll never have one of the rare bastids:(


I does look awesome, and I'll just have to take your word on how great they are.
Great score Trevor:thumbup:

come on Ken,

whether you have it or not....with all your years of knife usage....what is your opinion based on the photo comparison?

I dont know many others hear with as many years experience as you with actually using knives.
 
Well its not going to chop quite like the SHBM, but will be way quicker in hand. Looks like the perfect all around large knife!
Seems like that blade has the best of both worlds to me:thumbup:
And like you said, with no pinky bite.
 
I never would have guessed it was that large a blade, it's going on the wish list for sure.

That one is as rare as hen's teeth though aye?
 
I like the shape of that knife better then the various BMs. Not sure if 'sleeker' is the proper description but it seems to work.
