The New BRK 'Little Brother' Aurora!

[Jeff H]

What's the ETA on these, Joe?

Looks a bit like the H&C Forum Knife, which I would have liked to have gotten in on.

I agree on A2 v 3V. D2 and I would be standing in line already.

This is the first Barkie Ive seen in 3V I believe....

The first was the Lil' Canadian - Twin Blades has a review here just a couple days ago.

This little Aurora might just be what I am looking for...the regular Aurora felt too big to me.

Looks like a great blade

Here's a trick for you (and others). If you go to Google and type in .156 inches in mm it will give you the answer. You don't have to hunt for a webpage with a conversion interface, just type it in the search box. You can do the same with lots of other conversions such as 40f in c, 15 miles in km, etc.

Thanks man 4mm is too thick for me. 3mm is ideal.

I just tried it as you said and it works great. Thanks for the tip. teaching a man to fish.....

Handle looks small.

This worries me too,


…but at 4.35” (as per the specs) it is the same length as my carver handle Journeyman,


…and that handle fits my large hand just right. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Pretty blade:thumbup:

I wish it was 1/8" thick or 3mm though

I don't get the "convex scandi" grind.

I recall Sal of Spyderco saying how hard that it is to do a true scandi grind on a production knife. So maybe "scandi convex" is a way to sort of grab a segment of the scandi market without the apparently tough job of making it actually scandi??

It's a bit like the whole Nessmuk thing. Everybody makes a nessmuk but only about 60% bear any similarity with the picture in the book.

Now it's "Bushcraft" and "Scandi".

Seriously. I have several Bark Rivers with full convex grinds down to pretty much zero edge that perform as well as a real scandi except that they don't slice as well because the spines are thicker. So I don't really get the advantage to a scandi convex over Bark Rivers normally super sharp full convex??

I love Bark River knives and they are made in the US which is super cool.

However I have to say as far as production companies Spyderco's Bushcraft has all the elements without being a direct copy of the Woodlore. They seem to be the only production company that actually concentrated on the elements of such a knife rather than just using the buzzwords.

well said HD.

 

[TwinBlade]

This knife is going to rock...

 

[j williams]

Wouldnt be hard to turn it into a full scandi. I dont think the handle is too small. 4.33 seems like a nice size. Most of my blades are 4.5, which I think is PERFECT. However, everyones hands are differant...

I got a BHK Boattail Scandi on order, so I wont be getting one of these, but I think it has potential. I love the blade size on it.
