very nice looking gunny! the belt sander finish from bark river looks toothy. water stone finish is much finer. I think the difference in micro beveling with bark river knives is because of different craftsman finishing the knives. I would love to see your knife collection 2016! I'm wondering which knives you still have. I also loved the KSF sheath from sharpshooter best. every company is cutting expense where they can these days. luckily we can still enjoy good quality knives. You are lucky with 10% customs, we have to pay 21% + some other small fee. happy bushcraft!

You buy one and you are satisfied for the day. Then you are back looking at the catalogue in the morning for the next purchase. I know the feeling. Great videos!

Hello, I've been watching a lot of your videos and have learned lots on sharpening and the geometry of knives. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.

This must be one of the top amsr channels on KZfaq. Very relaxing, beautiful diction, nice sounds!

I created by accident a flatter-on-one-side and rounder-on-the-other-side convex bevel on a knife I made for my father. It feather sticks wonderfully. Your video made me check the knife more closely and sure enough it had the geometry you describe. Great idea for a bushcrafting knife.

Excellent review. I found it very enjoyable and informative to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

I want to thank you for the Yakiniku idea I got from your family videos. We have tried it and LOVE IT! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.

Thank you so much for your channel. You help me so much. I like 3V with flat grind .

Thank you for showing the differences between the sheaths on both knives. I am wanting to get started in leather working making sheaths and holsters and this is a great comparison.

I hope that you and your family are safe and well.

Great video.These knives are awesome and too addictive.

Thank for your videos the ctk red gunny is so gorgerous. thank you so much and greetings from germany. Dirk

thanks for the awesome review as usual

Hey ! Says the Canadian As always very clear info. good point of view, good advice Thank you sir.

My favorite part of convex knives. Is getting to sharpen them. I’m going to do my s1pro today. I’m going to do a 20 to 17 to 15 and then I blend them in.

Would love to see your current bushcraft knife collection. Last time you showed it was in sept 2013, and I am sure you have some new additions, have done some modifications and/or changed your preferences some :-)

I'm really digging the new C-Tek, I have the Bush Seax with blue C-Tek handle scales and a red C-Tek with carbon fiber bolster and hollow pins Gunny hunter in 3V as well. New knives from Bark river are really nice this year that have been coming out.

Hope you and your family are safe and well Mr V I know your homeland has been having some bad quakes of late.

Greetings from NH,Nice looking Gunny doc. I am also looking forward to hiking and camping season. My BR Aurora has served me well for many years so I'm interested in how you like that Gunny.

I just bought a Bravo 1 in A2 rampless, but with a full height grind. The full height grind is very nice. Thins out the edge angle nicely, but still very strong. I believe the Fox River is a full height grind with an even thinner blade stock, maybe .170 inches.

I've had two different sheaths from Great Lakes for my Kalahari. Both have fallen apart after less than one month of daily carry.

Very Beautiful Knifes, You are a very lucky man to be able to afford so many. I realise the price you pay is quite high and most likely worth the cost, if you would please mention the price paid when showing and doing reviews, i for one would appreciate very much, i will look up on line for cost. Since watching your channel you have taught me a lot. I have a large amount of different brands, some expensive and of course some not so much. I am curious if you keep most or just sell off the ones you don't care for. If you change the grind or bevel on some do they then accomplish better results that you would be looking for, or just buy a new one with different spec's. Thanks for your videos , the more i watch, the more i look for more. I believe i added to many questions for you to answer all at once so one or two would be just fine. Have a great day, see you soon!! Thumbs Up

I got a fox river two, and the blade geometry especially up by the tip are very thin, grind goes all the way to the spine, no micro bevel, excellent blade, another for river 2 that i have and the grind doesn't go to the spine, and towards the tip the grind has alot more material behind it and just doesn't slice as well, too thick compared to my other..handle is also more squared off than the good one I speak of, Suttle differences make a huge difference in the feel

Very nice .

Nice knife.

haven't heard from you since earthquakes,are you and family ok? my prayers for you and family to be well and healthy.

as always a great review , very informative , thank you .. p. s. not sure about international costs , but have you looked at knives ship free site

Thanks for all the videos on sharpening, I wanted to know if I could use a stone to sharpen a recurve blade, there really isn't any good videos on KZfaq about using a whetstone to sharpen recurves

Hello, there's one good knife, Roselli hunter, but with normal steel, not UHC. Perfectly holds edge.

I hope that the sheaths work for you. Will you go spring mountain vegetable harvesting soon?

I just picked up a ambush brute for bush rafting and decided I didn't like the grind for that purpose and went back to the BRK mini bushcrafter light I'm thinking the brute will now be camp knife instead have you had any experience with the ambush brute if so what is your opinion on it

Hi! can you recomend me any white compound brand for stropping? Where I live is really hard to get bark rivers' white compound. But any other brand I can order it for amazon. I looking for a white kind compound, I mean with that same grit. Thanks!

hi, you mentioned in one of your video that you use CPM 3V as primary knife and Elmax as backup. Have you ever tried the Gunny Hunter CruWear? What are your thoughts about this steel and how would you forsee using it? primary vs backup? cheers

to go along with my last message was looking to have a Kydex and have a piggyback knife like the Aurora and the Aurora Mini. which handle material has the best grip wet and dry?

still using that dozier to open boxes nice

What do you think of Ray Mears' Woodlore knife?

I am looking to purchase a couple of Bark River knives for bushcrafting. was thinking about the Aurora for bushcrafting and the Aurora mini for fine carving both with black canvas handles with liners. the Aurora seems like it would be better for hole drilling as the point is in line with the handle. 3 V of course. what is your opinion?

could you do a video on recurve convex waterstone sharpening? do you have any? I am wondering because it is difficult to get the inside curve on my bravo strike force and thought you might have some tricks to it.

I like the videos. I want to buy a knife. Tell me which one that you prefer.

Survive knife GSO 5.1 best knife ever

Dr. Wako how do you find the (current) build quality of BRK knives? Also has it changed over the years? I've bought 4 over the last year and I'm not impressed. None of them was sharp out of the box, they all had "uneven grinds" and the handle fit is not perfect on any of them (the micarta on my Bravo 1LT is close though). I also had bad edge rolling on one of the knives the first time I used it (light use). I've therefore decided to stay away from BRKs in the future, and rather spend my money elsewhere. This makes me a bit sad, because they have many really nice designs (my favorite is the Ultralight Bushcrafter) and nice steel and scales options. I just wish that the build quality and quality control matched the price.

where can we buy those BK sheats in europe? I can not find them anywhere

What is your favorite knife for cooking?

I also bought the new AK forest sheath from DLT, it's ok not amazing, i never got a chance to own the original forest sheath made by great lake leatherwork. I also bought a horizontal carry sheath from dlt which is made by great lake leather work and the quality is much better, thicker leather. I like it but it's not for everyone as not everyone likes to carry their knives horizontally. Dr. Wako, I was wondering, do you not use the Aurora at all for bushcraft? I've been agonizing between getting the Aurora and Gunny in 3V and I still cannot decide.

how many bark river knives do you have now wako?

Hello, If You can have only one, as a general purpose knife, then which one will You choose: BRKT Gunny A2, or BRKT Fox River A2 ? thx

Waiko, how often do you see grizzly bear when in the wilds?

If I knew my government opened up and checked my plain package... with no reason... I'd be pretty upset. It's none of their business. But it's a really nice knife anyways.

Cool look knife I can afford good knife A2 steel like 1095 to1075 high carbon steel

Have you tried the bark river bushcrafter 2? I just ordered one in blue and gold maple burl. Do you think it is too long for general bushcrafting? Thanks in advance

hello have you lost your love for classic drop point hunter handle and belly? thx

英語の勉強になりますね。参考になります

Hello, I like the handle also its always good to see your videos . but this response is not to your youtube sight I heard on the news of earth quakes in japan i hope and pray you and your family are okay as well as all the effected people

Are you at all interested in swords as well? (I know you can't easily buy them in JP, but one can collect them, right?) Just asking because I find that often knife enthusiasts have quite the appreciation of swords as well...

Thinner leather is also lighter.

Let us know your ok Mr. Virtuovice. Your nation had some bad quakes?

Bark River has beautiful knives but until they change the way they do the grind of their blades...They're not worth it.

@virtuovice I’ll buy the Original sheet to the Gunny from you if you still have it and you don’t want it

What is your opinion of the Becker BK2 knife?

dare I say that they all look like small kitchen knives.

OSU!

Shouldn't the stronger steel allow the manufacturer to use thinner stock? I don't get it. "3V is 300% stronger than A2".....So why are the knives still the same thickness? This really impedes cutting and slicing chores. I wish Bark River would offer thinner knives so I can at least cut an apple or a carrot with out it looking like I used a shovel.

where are you from?

Third.

Stay away from the Bark River Kydex sheaths. They are junk. The standard leather sheaths the knives come with are better than the aftermarket leather sheaths, IME.
