Wow, I could go a lot of different directions with this one. 
My first Bark River knife was a Bravo-1, and it (along with a first-production Gunny and a Little Creek in A-2) are my most-used Barkies. I also love the larger Bravo-1.5, the 2009 Custom Skinner and the 2009 Custom Micro Drop Point.
But if I had to pick just one "favourite," it'd be my Camp & Trail.
It's as close to perfect (for me) as a knife can be.

I'm cheating a lil bit since I'm using the KSF image.
This was my first Bark River. I bought it at the KSF store when they were still located in Oregon. I was actually planning to get a Fox River but once I saw this one I just couldn't resist... Still planning to get a Fox River some day, heh.

My first, only and favourite Bark River

Nice knife. Which one is that? I dislike folks that post a picture of a knife and don't identify it as if everyone is supposed to know what something is? Who knows? Your picture may in fact nudge someone toward buying a particular knife and it would certainly be nice to know what it is. Ya know... just one of my little forum rants.

I've got three BRKTs: Bravo Necker 2, Bravo 1, & Bravo 2. The Bravo 2 is my favorite.
I think I have the same telescope as yours? What size is your Orion dob?
Well, I feel bad about depriving you, but not that bad! It looks like you ended up with something pretty nice yourself.

Hahahaha well said. How about some more pictures of that bad boy? That knifes a peacock, ya gotta let it fly. Lol
I have 2, not sure if any of them is my favorite yet. I'm still searching for the one that I might like best.
My first was this Bravo Necker II. I think it is a neat little knife but maybe smaller than what I like.
I've since bought a used Bravo 1 with black micarta. I like it too but I can't decide if it is too thick for me. I'm thinking I might need a thinner Bravo I or a longer one, maybe Bravo 1.25 or 1.5.
I've also been considering a slightly smaller model more for EDC. I'm thinking maybe I should try the Gunny.
