Just picked up my second Bark River

[TheFactor]

Well I recently picked up a Barkie Bravo-1 LT with CPM 3V and Green Canvas scales with no ramp.What a beauty feels so good in the hand and top Quailty craftsmanship , fit and finish was beautiful . I liked it so much I decided to pick up another Bark River . I've got a modest collection of folders and decided because I realized I didn't have any fixed blades so that's when my interest in Barkies started . Anyway I was going to get the standard Bravo-1 to go with my LT but then I thought why not go to the 1.25 and get longer blade and not just thicker blade .Went and checked out a few and found a Rampless and with this one decided to go with no jimping because the standard Barkie Jimping is nice but a little aggressive for my liking without gloves . I also decided to go with CPM 3V again because I really like its qualities and this time I went with Desert Ironwood its a nice looking wood and is also a nice stable wood . Very happy with my choices and thought I'd share my thoughts a long with some pictures and specs .
