Other options than BR Bravo 1.5

[Blatchsmith]

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking around for a new knife. I really like the look and specs of the Bark river Bravo 1.5 but with the Canadian dollar being crap the price tag is a bit out of my reach. I currently have an Ontario Rat7 ( Quality has gone down hill; blank was barely sanded down leaving rough edges and marks from cutting) although I like the size I have grown to despise the finger choil on this knife.

I'm wondering what other options there are out there for a knife similar to the Bravo 1.5 but with a smaller price tag (200 cad or around 150usd taxes in). Something in a 5.5-6.5" blade with a simple edge (no recurves), NO FINGER CHOIL, under 1/4" thick, preferably a flat grind, carbon steel in a drop point configuration.

Cheers and thanks in advance,

Blatch

Work some some overtime and pick up the Bravo 1.5. You'll be much happier.

Agreed. Don't settle. Save longer and get what you want. If you must settle look at something in the Becker line.

Sounds like you have an older Ontario Rat7? Check out ESEE 6P, Becker BK2 or BK22.

Also, don't forget to check out the BFs knifemakers fixed blade For Sale forum.
