So I have been collecting for a long time, I have a lot of cheap and junk knives before I did my research and found out what a good knife is, then last year I ordered a crkt elishwetz ftws(which I consider my first good knife) and I paid about 90 for it, then in January I bought a GEC 25(first good folder) for around 80 but last night I ordered a bark river gunny hunter, in A2 steel and some of the most gorgeous amboyna burl handle I've ever seen! it is the first time I've spent over one hundred on a knife( actually paid over 2 for it), I'm very excited for its arrival, so I wanted to post it, I will put up pics when I get it!

Once you break the $200 barrier and get something of quality, it's hard to go back to a $50 one lol. Gunny is a sweet blade, thou id prefer 3v steel.

Ya I've never tried a2 or 3v so I figured I'd start with a2, still very good and less pricey😉

3v is awesome stuff...likely my favorite fixed blade steel. Holds an edge forever, sharpens pretty easy, and is fairly rust resistant compared to other carbon steels.

alright it came yesterday and I like it a lot, ergonomics are great for my hands, nice, thick and stout but still slicey. and the handle is gorgeous
