We just got these up. What great fixed blade knife!
For years, Bark River Knives has received many requests for a slightly longer Bravo-1 with a clip-point blade. They have listened and responded by producing the Bravo Squad Leader, a welcome addition to the Bravo series.
The Bravo Squad Leader has the same Bowie-style clip-point that most American military-issue knives have incorporated since World War II. The handle is identical to the original Bravo-1 with the blade being wider from spine to cutting edge, resulting in a little more blade weight. But, the balance point is still on the first finger.
Judging by pre-production interest, the Bravo Squad Leader will likely become just as popular and just as highly respected as the legendary Bravo-1.
One of the greatest features of the Bravo Squad Leader is the extreme versatility that it offers. Obviously it is a very capable military knife but it is just as capable when it comes to outdoor tasks such as batoning, large game breakdown, shelter building and limb clearing. It is a robust knife which features full tang construction, .217" thick steel, durable A2 Tool Steel, a large lanyard loop and a smaller lanyard hole and a very comfortable handle.
A heavy duty leather belt sheath with firesteel loop is included.
