Hi folks, I’m sharing another high quality hunting knife. This is the new Bark River Fox River EXT-1 with a redesigned handle. The specs and details are listed below. Enjoy!
Bark River Fox River EXT-1 - Antique Ivory with Red Liners and Mosaic Pins
Specs:
Overall Length: 8.6 inches or 21.8 cm
Blade Length: 4.1 inches or 10.4 cm
Blade Thickness: .157 inch or 3.9 mm
Blade Steel: CPM3V
Weight: 5.7 ounces or 161 grams
Grind: Convex
Blade Style: Drop point
The blade on the new Fox River EXT-1 is basically identical to the Fox River LT, but with a different handle. The handle is very similar to that of the Gunny Hunter. It has a palm swell and the metal lanyard loop has been removed. It allows for a fuller or more traditional feeling grip.
Note: the balance on the EXT-1 feels okay, but it is slight more handle heavy than the standard Fox River. It weighs about 14 grams more and the weight is mostly noticeable in the handle. For me, I like the feel of the flat handle on the standard Fox River and did not think there was anything wrong with the ergonomics, especially for gutting and skinning, but the new one does offer a slight fuller grip that may appeal to some folks. Overall, the Fox River is comfortable and efficient and capable of breaking down most large game animals. All the best
