Good taste in knives you have! It is a beast and we like it very very much! Thanks a lot and cheers to you😁🍻

Thanks a lot! Cool that you have the Scout! Looks awesome I think. Having good experience with that one so far?

@@westcoastbushcrafters Not used it yet. Hunting season starts this week end. I have BRK Dakar for big jobs, a bushcrafter, A Bravo one a Bravo 1.5, and Falkniven, Randall, I have several DULO knives which, if you don't know them you should look Svetlozar up. Incredible knives (Dulo knives) and super steels!!

Wow cool! Thanks for the tip! See that they took the DBK design and use high end steels😁👍. We are going to look a bit more in that👏. Great knife collection you have! Good luck with the hunt!

Thanks for the info!

Thank you😁! Haha yep welcome to the Swedish west coast😁👍. Great to hear you likes our content! Thanks!

Thank you very much 😁🙏!!

Thank you for watching 😁👍!

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!😁👍

Hahaha you must love Bravo knives 💪😂! Awesome collection! What kind of handle material did you choose on them?

Thank you!!🙏😁👍

Thanks for sharing detailed info regarding the hardness and consequences of using a fire steel on a knife. And yes same here, the spine on several knives has small damages after using a ferro rod. Good to know that it is one of the reasons that bark river does not want to focus on a sharp spine. This leaves it up to the knife user itself if fire making using a ferro rod is worth it with the spine of a knife. Personally I guess we will continue scraping a ferro rod with the knives that can do it best and accept the damage on the spine. We love to use our knives.

Hi! No we have not tested out the Bravo Hunter. Looks nice and more compact indeed. Have you used the Bravo 1 LT once? We are very curious to test out the Bravo 1 LT one day. Cheers!

Thank you!! :)

haha yeah Garberg has a great spine haha. Do you use leather gloves when carving stuff? We always wear gloves when working with knives and wood. Gives good protection. Guess it is a personal preference. Sounds like you found your way around :)

We started to notice that as our Bark River collection is growing slowly. Still all of them are really nice and great for the job in the forest. We live and film everything at the west coast of Sweden, close to Norwegian border. We have forest, lakes and the sea with its beautiful archipelago 😁👍. Thanks for your comment!

@@westcoastbushcrafters good morning and thanks for the information. what a gorgeous area.🙏👌👌👌

Good morning! It really is and we appreciate it every time we go out in nature😁👍 take care!

Really nice :-)!!

Nice!! Bravo LT is 4 mm thick blade isn’t it? Great outdoors knife can imagine. Have not tested magna cut yet. Do you notice a difference in edge retention compared to 3v?

@@westcoastbushcrafters yes, LT is 4mm thick and in my opinion is better then regular Bravo1 for most of tasks, this thicknes. Magna-Cut have better edge retention, toughnes, and stainless also, then 3V, in my eyes.

Thanks my friend!

Looked it up on malone website. Looks like a very cool leather sheat😁👍

Hej Dave! We will put it on our list😁👍 It is a Wood Jewel it you want to check it out👍

@@westcoastbushcrafters I thought it was, I have them, but don't use them as I find them too pretty!

Really cool knives indeed! Also very nice that it is a combo. Think I will bring it with me for the weekend😁👍

Awesome! Thanks a lot!😁

Very much so😁 especially the experiences that it brings with it👍

Good choice.👍

Thank you! :)

Hi! Great and interesting question! We would choose convex grind. It is a robust grind that should hold an edge long. Besides it is easy to strop it if you are lucky to have a leather belt on you when you are in the survival situation. Maybe even possible to find a fine smooth stone for sharpening it. In that case covex is quite nice to sharpen. What would you have chosen and why? Cheers!

@@westcoastbushcrafters thanks a lot for your response, guys! I would choose a scandi grind because it performs the best when working wood. But I don‘t know if it is as easy to sharpen as the convex grind in a survival scenario? What do you guys think?

Could be a bit more challenging but very dependent on the material you will find. Maybe it will get a second bevel. Most important to keep it sharp :)

@@westcoastbushcrafters thanks a lot for your opinion, guys!

That is an interesting one! Well first of all we do not have an LT in our collection nor have experience with one. Imagine is saying that an bravo LT is as good and possibly even better on the finer woodcarving tasks as feathersticking ect. No idea if it is a big difference though. The convex is really good and possible to get really sharp. What I like about the Bravo 1 is the trust you can put on the thickness. It will not break. For us it is very well possible to get awesome feathersticks and such. In general I guess a 4 mm / 4,2 mm thickness is the glory of a bushcraft knife thickness regarding the fine woodwork. Please discuss with me if you have other insights 😁👍

Now I am speaking for my companion as well without having asked him, but I think it would be the Bushcrafter I or II. This is based on the thought that you have an axe on the side. Maybe I comeback on this one after the weekend😅

@@westcoastbushcrafters I would love to add one of their bushcraft style knives (bushcrafter 1 or 2, gunny, Bravo) to my collection. Holding out for a version in magnacut.

Right choice! Cool with magnacut! Have a nice weekend!

Thanks for the tip! Tested the Aurora Scandi once. Really nice knife!

From malone knives?

haha thanks, lol! Search for: "Camp Buddy "Bamboo" eldstål XXL". Sure you will find it! Cheers!

Haha yeah that was not the best example 🤪

Hi Adam! Awesome to hear😁👍 thanks! We will try that! Nowadays we have this bamboo xxl fire rod. Quite long and big which works very well. But fun to compare it with another brand. Thanks for the tip and have a great weekend! Cheers!

@@westcoastbushcrafters you are welcome, I have been using for years and I totally statisfied with it. Highly recommended 🙂

That’s great 😁👍! Thanks!

Very understandable that such a price for a knife is crazy for many people. And the prices just went up even more during last years. We think it is very expensive but very happy with it after having this one on the wish list for several years. Funny you mention that it looks like a steak knife, never thought about that comparison. In that case it is maybe one of the most robust steak knives there is. 5,5 mm thick knife and 200 grams:)

@@westcoastbushcrafters A2 tool steel and a very minimalist design just don't set the table for me to pay this much. There are a lot better steels and designs for a lot less, I just purchased a Lionsteel T5 for $250 less than what they want for these, and I have several knives that are very good and didn't cost this much. It definitely reminds me of a steak knife, I'm sure I can agree it's a robust steak knife 😂

⁠​⁠@@Craig-yj5gbI got my bravo 1 in cpm3v no thumb ramp convex from “knife connection”. You can still find it there for 229.00

I own over 40 BRK'S. 3 of which are Bravo 1's, 2 in 3V and 1 in A2. All of them are excellent The grind on these knives out performs all other knives I have including Fallkniven. If you've never used one then you don't have an opinion that means much. These things are crazy good. If you went on a camping trip with me I'd give you one to use and you would change your mind. You might not want to pay for it! But your eyes would be opened for sure. Save your money and buy one of these "steak knives", you won't be disappointed!

Very, very well written comment 🙏😁👍
