Barkies are one those knives that everyone seems to like. I have had my Rogue (see crappy pics below) for a while and like it (awesome blade geometry). I really disliked the sheath that came in and swapped it out for the Spec-ops in the pic. I have eye-balled the Canadian Camp, Mikro and Golok for a while but have never pulled the trigger. What are your favorites?

I own a North star and inbound is a mikro canadian to accompany it....double sheath them w/army lmf firesteel...wow ... I will post picks of the pair in a week or so...in this thread or another... only two BRK&T I own but I like the Bravo 1 as well..
 
I have:

OMF - haven't really warmed up to
Fox River - great hunting knife
Golok - 11" straight razor that every outdoorsman should have
Rogue - I don't get to use it enough but I love it
Mini Canadian - great little hunting knife and incredibility nimble
Bravo 1 - the perfect survival knife for me
Lil TUSK - my EDC in a homemade pocket sheath
07 BRKCA Club knife - safe queen

The Lil TUSK and Golok are easily my favorites!
 
I have 4 of them right now. 1 micro, 1 mini, 1 canadian special, and 1
canadian camp. Here is a pic of the last two.

We found that rock over hang while cutting trees I think several people would fit in there with ease.
I plan to get 2 more orange handle mini canadians one for the wife and I and and one orange handled rogue bowie for me:D

I have a Fox river, Bravo 1, gameskeeper and a new Canadian camp. I got to say, I love all of them, the GK is a safe queen, but the rest are all users. The Bravo 1 is absolutly awesome and has seen a lot of use in the couple of months I have had it. I have only had the Canadian Camp for 3 days now, but it has not been more than a few paces away from me since. I have used it several times in the kitchen and attacked a block of wood with it, but have yet to take it out bush.

At this point I wouyld have to say the B1 and CC are my favorites, but rumers of a Bravo 2 (6-7" blade) have got me very interested.
 
bravo 1....best feeling blade i have had in a long time....

scout....seems to never make me tired of using it...these are the only two i have now...and i think for a while it will stay that way

of course there are a few new ones that will find their way into my collection...
 
Favorite bark at the moment is my Canadian Special, love the way it feels and cuts. Also a fun bark is the PSK, all of 5 inches in length:)

 
I really like my Northstar. Fit's my hand perfectly. I do have a Bravo-1 on the way. Can't wait to use it.
 
Right now it's a 50/50 split between my Nebula and my Highland. Nebula wins out for general woodloafing, and the Highland is preferred on the rare instances that I actually hunt.

I've been swapping back and forth between a Bosnian Skinner and my Rogue Bowie for daily carry lately. The Bosnian skinner is just an awesome knife for personal protection, especially with the sharpened back edge and kydex I had made up for it. (It's pretty lame for use in the woods though) The Rogue is an all around awesome performer.

My Golok doesn't see much use any more, though it is real nice when I do find a use for it.

My Teddy, Lil' Nessy, Settler, and Bravo one so far excel at dust gathering, while my Expedition likes to ride around in the truck or jeep for just in case.

My wife seems to love her Northstar for camping, although she also has a Bosnian Skinner for carry around town. It seems to get along real well with her High-Power for some reason....:D

Oh...errr...we were s'posed to pick just one, huh?

I guess it'd be my Nebula, It's always performed wonderfully, even though I do spend alot of time debating whether it could be reground to a true Scandi grind, or if I should replace it with an Aurora.

The Canadian Special sure is calling out to me these days though. It looks like it would be able to do woodsloafing and hunting equally well.
 
I have...............
two Goloks BBK II
Canadian Special Little Creek
Micro Slither
North Star
B&T

Had several come and go. I love the goloks and the CS feels nice in the hand, the B&T is wicked in the kitchen. I got the BBK II today. Special order with juniper burl I sent Mike and the folks up there. It's a beautiful knife, well made but it just does not trip my trigger. Look for it up for sale or trade later probably here or on KF (or both). My favorite....I think it will end up being the CS
 
I heard about the Bravo 2 on the other forum at the BRK&T forum. This would be a must have.
 
All I have is a micro slither, but I think my next will be a nebula, because I wanted both a bark river and that style of custom, may as well combine them.
