In this picture is it just a reflection that is making it look like a few of that blades are laminated?
 
I haven't purchased a Bark River knife in quite some time, but these have my attention.

I'd like one, if they do natural handles and the prices are $100-ish. But the direction that BRKT prices have gone, I'm not holding my breath.
 
I'm curious if the grooves running around the front of the handle could cause hot spots during use?

I doubt it's any lamination, no need for it on 3V. It's a reflection of the rest of the surface and the grind itself.
 
Nice! So this is scandi-vex not actual scandi right? Really love the look of most Bark River knives but currently only own a Micro Canadian which i don't use (not that its a bad knife just smaller than i'm comfortable with).
If Bark River ever makes a scandi Aurora i'll buy one for sure, until then i'm happy with my Spyderco Bushcraft knife.
 
I got a black & gold maple burl that is just beautiful it is my first Bark River. It feels really good in the hand.

Can you post some detailed pics? I'd love to see one of these from different angles and in the hand for scale.
 
Looks good. I'd like to have seen another half inch of blade length... 3.5" seems on the lower end of the preferred length... and an option for natural handles, such as birch would have been in instant classic.

Looks like a traditional Scandinavian stick tang construction.. which should be plenty fine.
