Browning Crowell/Barker Competition Knife (Customized)
Orange Handle - $125
Black Handle - Sold
In original box with all papers & leather sheath.
These are becoming hard to find.
Customizations:
I had these customized at the Bark River factory. The standard knife has a very blocky handle that, to my hands, is not very ergonomic for extended use.
I had custom, very ergonomic G10 handles fitted. One in Black, the other in Blaze Orange.
They were also sharpened and slightly re-profiled at the factory to be very sharp. They sliced paper easily and chopped very well. Very versatile knife.
Condition: Used, never sharpened by me (was sharpened at the factory as stated above).
Some spots and marks on the blade. I oiled and stored them but they reacted with the foam that they were resting on so there are some patina marks. They can be sanded off but I am not going to do it.
The Orange one has some cleaning scratches on the blade.
After the Benchmade 171, Busse B-11, these are my favorite choppers and my favorite lightweight choppers.

Bussekin & Friends + Epic Fail
My name is Tim and I am a FAILURE. I have been using knives all my life, mostly cheap Okapi's in my native South Africa, but I never really had much of an interest in the specifics. The only knives I had for a long time were the 2 gnarly diving knives that I bought when I lived in the Middle...
