Question, where to look for the convex enthusiast ?

[Rprecision]

All right,

Where does one look besides Bark River Knife and Tool for fine convex ground bush blades? I have a few Barkies, I am just steering a new direction. (The why isn’t nearly as important).

Where shall I look? $200-300, custom makers are fine (Never done that before), I just want to ensure my money is well spent and that I get a piece that will last a lifetime.

Thanks for the input

Check out Ban Tangs forum. He is the master of the convex edge.

Hit the makers section. I don't really buy production fixed blades anymore.

One you might want to try if you're into production blades is Fallkniven. I've heard they're pretty good.

I'm turned off of Bark River too.

Andy Roy at Fiddleback Forge, Dylan Fletcher at Fletcher Knives, as well as Ban do convex grinds. Christof Harper (Koyote Knives) does a scandivex, a cool mix of a scandi and convex ...all four have pages in the makers section. Go have a look and let the drool-fest begin!

I have a few of Jeremy Horton's knifes and I really like his convex grinds.

Hortons, nice, sharp, convex knives.

Agreed Jeremy Horton makes sick convex knives...

Gossman, Turley, Bantang.... they all make badass convex blades you can trust.

Ehh, pretty much everyone covered so far.

Fallknivens are great production fixed blades with a convex grind.

Bryan Breedan, Sicily02 here on the forums, makes great knives. I had one of his pathfinders and was very impressed.
