New Bark River Blade????

[hollowdweller]

I see that Bark River is making a smaller version of the BRAVO.

I have always liked the Bravo but it's always been just a little too big to be a favorite of mine.

This one looks to be near perfect size. It's the one at the top:

According to Mike Stewart:

The Gunny is 7.5 inches Long with a 3.6 Inch Blade.

That would make it sort of like a Fallkniven F1 but with a carbon steel blade, contoured handle and thumb ramp:thumbup:

I haven't bought a barkie in a few months but that one is on my list:thumbup:

Yea that is a great concept blade is there any release date or production date published,I do want one as well.....

I agree Hollowdweller; I'm going to pick one up when they come out. Have you heard a delivery time?

Hopefully it's made from thinner stock that the OG one too, that would make it a real winner.

I, on the other hand, would prefer the one on the bottom much better than the smaller models. Bravo-II? This one will rock!

From the Bark River forum

The Gunny will be .170" thick.

The Bravo-1 is .217 Inch thick and the Bravo-11 will also be .217" think.

Mike...............

That should be perfect then.

 

[hollowdweller]

Bark River also totally gets the handle size/contouring thing and the small ricasso thing also.:thumbup:

Maybe 60 days.

I asked.

Thanks hollowdweller....this is good news. I love my Bravo-1 but it is right on the boundary of too thick for my preference. I find myself taking a shorter and thinner blade for most tasks. I've been looking at picking up an RC-3 or RC-4 but I might hold off and wait for this one. Maybe I'll just get them all....who knows.

I asked.

Thanks! That is sooner than I expected. :thumbup:

That Gunny looks sweet. Now I have a dilemma. The B-II or Gunny.

Well that's one extreme or the other:thumbup:

 

[mtnfolk mike]
