It looks nice Dougie but the handle looks as though it was designed for a cack hander.

Cant see the most important part of the blade.

Hard to see what pic I'm selecting on the phone, hopefully this one isn't cropped?

I see there a couple of other Bark River fans on here, when it comes to knives I don't let a higher price get in the way of what I want, a decent knife can save your life. I am just a few short weeks away from having the money sorted for the Aurora 3V.

You get em in direct from the states? Do bark river ship direct or is there an exporter? Looking to add somthing nice to my very utilatarian collection, and the bark river seem really nice.

This is my old knife that I bought with my own money when I was a whole 7 years old. Still holds a good enough edge and been used as my fishing knife for a few years now.

I had one of those when I was a boy as well GM. I am now sitting here wondering what happened to it. It is highly likely one of my brothers took a shine to it when I went into the green machine.

It is one of the few things they haven't pilfered come to think of it.

Pretty sure this was standard issue for every ten year old boy. Leather washer handle and iirc there's a small brass nut running on the tang with a slot in it. It pulls up into the aluminium pommel and holds everything together?

It sure is. Think I paid the princely sum of around $12 for it at the local sports/fishing store that I walked past each day on my way to school. Each day looking in the window to check it was still there until the I could proudly take it home. Mother of course was none too impressed about a seven year old buying such a thing; eventually realising over the years it was a good investment.

My wife bought me this one for Father's Day...
