Bark River Knife Unboxing + Knives Ship Free Visit

Here's our visit to Knives Ship Free- the premier online outlet for high-end custom knives, based in Escanaba, Michigan. We got to talk with owner Derrick Bohn about what makes a good knife, and I meet Northwoods knife designer J. Rouch and show him my knife from ALONE season 4- the knife as it looked coming straight out of the bush after 49 straight days!
And did you think I could take a tour of Bark River Knives and Knifes Ship Free and NOT come home with a knife? NO WAY! Watch me unbox my NEW Bark River Knife!
Hope you like this vid. Thanks for your views, comments, and support of this channel!

Such a passionate knife enthusiast! Rest In Peace Derrick Bohn!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

indeed- so sad!

[@grizzly22485]

Very easy to feel at home and comfortable following you and "Bushy" arond. You two are living the life I wished for 40+ years ago but was afraid to take the leap. Just conventional old me now but 20 years ago I met a lady quite like you in spirit. What a long strange and fantastic trip she has made it. 'Nother story there though... Ross

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Very nice- thanks

[@chiefkirk]

Brooke that was an excellent choice. It is absolutely beautiful. I'd be proud to have that on my side. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

I'm becoming a fan of Bark River and after watching these last two videos. The main reason I think is because I love a convex grind. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@cabinlife2347]

Brooke, thanks for taking us along so we could see the knives .. the one you chose is beautiful, and will come in handy in your adventures.. and yeah, something you can pass along to your kin that will put it to it's best use. cheers, from our cabin in the woods to yours. Glenn & Maureen

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Hi Glenn & Maureen!

[@virginiaorru6848]

I love knives and started a collection several years ago. You made a fine choice. Congratulations. Love your videos too, gigi

[@davestelling]

How cool! I think I'd have picked the same knife. WHAT a beauty, and that sheath! Aaaahhhhh!!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Yeah it's a beauty for sure!

[@davidcox2264]

I love knives. And those are beautiful.

[@williampysell2819]

Loved this video, and I love the knife that you selected! Hope that it serves you well in all of your adventures!

[@lesleyzimmerman5114]

Hi from Ohio. The knife is beautiful. Can't wait to see it in use at your next adventure. God bless.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@outbackeddie]

Sweet. I don't own a Bark River knife yet but that will change very soon. Thanks for the tour.

[@zRockin1]

Hi Brooke, great looking knife, I see why it caught your eye, Rock On!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much!

[@dalelong8001]

Nice choice on the new Bark River, it's a beauty! You deserve to own one, girl!

[@rockd8946]

I stopped in your Chattanooga location. Beautiful show room. Well thought out and very nice people there. Welcome to TN. Will be back. Thx

[@newageselfreliance]

Bark River makes GREAT knives. I really wish I could afford a bunch of their knives. Thank You so much for sharing!!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks for watching!

[@timkitzmann1814]

Beautiful knife. Love them Barkies!!!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

That’s a great looking knife. I got my first Benchmade 15 years ago and have been buying Benchmade since then. Very cool video and a cool company.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Brooke, you are going to love that knife! I hope we get to see it put through its paces. So long as you have a couple good strops with different grit compounds, it's easy with a little practice keeping it razor sharp. If it gets really dull or damaged, get a mixed grit pack of wet dry sandpaper (auto body supplies), and lay the paper on top of the strop. It has the same give as the strop and you use the same motion. When it looks as well used as your condor, you can send it to the Bark River spa and have them bring it back to as-new too!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Sweet thanks!

[@trekOCLVone]

This is so great to have this Michigan brand. And a Yooper to boot! It's on my list.

[@jaypadulchick1355]

Nice choice Brooke! That is a beauty!!

[@kevinbungles]

Cracking video, what an awesome set of guys at the shop so passionate and knowledgeable and a love of their trade. I would like to see you do more of these type of Videos Brooke.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

I LOVE that phrase.... cracking video. :) Cheers

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

We're in Channing, MI right now, about an hour west of Escanaba and it looks like I've got to go get a new knife now. Thanks Brook.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sweet

[@sharonmariejohnson2578]

I love that bark river knife with its maple handle and cool blade it's got a great curve to it, you chose well and it may be a couple hundred dollars but you get what you pay for and I believe it was money well spent. Looking forward to seeing you use it and hearing your reviews on it. This was a very interesting vid and the owner seemed like a nice guy too thanks Brooke :)

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks much sharon!

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

nice knife Brooke, thanks for sharing

[@kkoktan1601]

Beauty of a knife!! You deserve it. 😊

[@RomeoEdward]

Good choice Brooke, The blade looks very much like one I've had for many years. Mine is a Blackjack Trail Guide in A-2 tool steel. Made in Effingham, IL.

[@normanhodge5573]

Love the knife, Brook. It's going to fit your side real good.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

I'm so happy you got that knife, Brooke. It's so beautiful. Loved your vid. Stay happy:)

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!!

[@TheGrayManOG]

They have a cool place. Bark River is on my list of knives to buy. You picked a great one!

[@widespreadpermic9967]

RIP DB LOVE THE KNIFE - trying to make a decision on which Bark River I want next - I do know I want something I can EDC. Love your stuff as usual Brooke - watching the entire video for a second time, even though all I want to see is the actual knife again. Thanks! Keep it up.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks and yes.... RIP Derek....

[@barrywebber100]

Like the new knife and really like you Brooke, you are a top lady! Dave is a very lucky guy! I so wanted you to win your Alone season, but you both did great!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks much appreciate it!

[@christopherwatrous1823]

I enjoyed getting to see and feel your knife for myself!! I definitely need to get a quality knife if I continue my life outdoors!! Thanks for showing it to me, Brooke!! Too cool! Lightweight!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Cool thanks Chris!! It is fun to share :)

[@jss27560]

Beautiful knife , and 1st production run , even better ! After watching Bush Radicals video of Bark River Knives , I had to buy a BRK , I ended up getting the classic drop point hunter with Honduran rosewood scales and the steel is.CPM3V ! Thanks for sharing and your new BRK is beautiful ! 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sweet

[@SoerenGraves]

Congratulations with the new knife.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

U picked a beautiful blade Brooke! I'm so jealous... I love that knife too! And the leather sheath!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you Cilla!

[@lisarmurphy]

Beautiful knife. I would love to get one like that some day. Good luck with it.

[@gamesandthings5570]

Another great video. I would never do anything to your Alone knife. To many memories there. I hope u leave it just the way it is. Thanks for the great videos.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yeah i might keep it that way

[@tahiti-girl]

I want one! Beautiful! 😍

[@kkoktan1601]

Brooke I just received my Ulu 🇺🇸to🇨🇦😘😬thank you! Beautiful wood and sharp steel 😬. Look out outdoors. Ok. Look out vegetables. Lol. Thank you SO MUCH! Awesome work Dave. Now I have a keepsakes from my favorite ALONE team. 😊

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Awesome!! Glad you like it - thanks much!

[@johannschmid9811]

Have fun with this beauty!!!

[@JRWahrhaftig]

Wow! That's knife heaven = knives ship free. Hope to go there someday. Awesome Bark River Knife with a beautiful handle. Put a bright colored paracord lanyard on it - if you haven't yet - so you don't accidentally lose it in the woods. Thanks for the cool video.

[@lindaA65513]

Now that’s a beautiful knife! Great choice!! Many women would spend that much on a pair of jeans (crazy) but that knife will last you a lifetime. I am glad you treated yourself. Enjoy!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Wow never thought of that! LOL you're prob right! Most of my stuff is second hand so this is a real treat :)

[@rmoraespinto]

I miss Derek. I am happy that you made this video to show the KSF store and have that interview with him!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yesss so sad

[@kevinbungles]

Love your new knife

[@j.shorter4716]

Just ordered a bravo 1.25 with dark curly maple handles. Really looking forward to it

[@lynburke5715]

Love that knife!

[@sawdust6968]

congrats Brooke on that beautiful knife,;-)i have a bark river bravo 1 and i love it.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

cool thanks!

[@steveschilt7942]

Great video 👍 ❤️ and knife,❤️

[@davidmoulton5422]

Great video brook watched Dave's video yesterday nice to see your side and perspective can't wait to see what you picked out liked how you showed some of the knives on the wall. Nice knife

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

cool thanks!

[@gravitypronepart2201]

Brook you have great taste in knives. I love the wood on it. I want one! Time to start saving up.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you!

[@Heeman5]

That’s a very nice knife. You made a great choice.

[@bobashmore6442]

I am totally jealous of your amazing new knife. It's a work of art as well as a fully functional knife, not sure what more you could ask for. Looking forward to seeing you put it though its paces in future videos.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

sweet thanks

[@rdolan2]

Beautiful knife. Excellent choice. I hope it gives you many years of good tough use. Congrats.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thank you

[@cctvspystore]

Beautiful knife Brooke. The reason the Ultra-Lite Hunter 1 & 2 are so light is because they are not full tang blades. The classic Drop Point Hunter with Ivory scales that you also liked is a full tang blade and you probably noticed it was heavier

[@stephenbeard9882]

Nothing like that new knife smell.

[@mikeparton4294]

Great choice

[@anthonypasquale4984]

That looks good...always liked a small stout knife...the sheath look good too

[@billruber2861]

I live in the beautiful state of Michigan ,I do want a Bark River knife they make so many styles and types it's a hard choice but you can't go wrong they are top quality and material items

[@brianferris1233]

It looks good, I am sure a fifteenth century Huron or Chippewa warrior would have been amazed by that knife.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

indeed!

[@scotscheideman9800]

Congratulations on your first new Bark River!!!! I have 2 now and have desires for at least a couple more!!! I hope fortune favors you to get a couple more!!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Yeah it's hard not to want more knives...!

[@christopherwatrous1823]

Brooke, I wanna see your new knife on Monday!! Great knife Store!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Will do!

[@kjonesy4142]

Your new knife is super pretty... definitely be checking out Bark River!! ⚔

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

cool thanks!

[@debjohansen7867]

Wow, I gotta have one!

[@msims1250]

Great video and an excellent choice on your knife! Your videos are so fun. I’m so glad I found your channel!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Nice knife Brooke. Can't wait to see it in action.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

cristened it by cutting a cake

[@billj503]

great choice

[@cookscatapults]

Hahahaha that was Super Awesomeness Hahahaha......Totally forgot about Knives ship free....So thanks for that as well

[@Mindokwin]

I love birdseye maple scales on a knife.

[@VahidCullsberg]

Congratulations on your new knife :)

[@davekibbey7944]

That is a pretty knife. Love that birdseye maple. My problem is , I would be afraid of loosing it out in the woods. I hope Dave was able to bring home a knife treasure too. If not tell him that I have a spare Remington in my drawer that he can have. It has a black handle and a metal blade. :)

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Nope I had some extra fun money around for just this purpose- couldn't leave without a knife! Dave will have to save for one :)

[@NewtonWashinton]

Great knife you bought! Since you were at the Bark River factory i want 1 also, I been looking at the Bark River Bravo Survivor I hope to have it soon. Thanks

[@semco72057]

I have to look up the factory the next time I am back in Michigan and try to get there to visit it, and then the Knivesshipfree store. You all must have loved the tour of the factory and the store where their knives are sold out of.

[@kristophersmallsr.9395]

I like the way they wrapped the tang with wood . Very clean look .

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

i can't find that knife right now.... :(

[@kristophersmallsr.9395]

@@therealgirlinthewoods Well your in Arizona anyway lol

[@carmenmasood8477]

Your're so funny...the knife looks nice nice🤗

[@trelawnny]

Drooling 😍😍

[@arknatedogg]

So Happy for You! Very nice knife :)

[@timwoods603]

Good choice, the Hunter 1 is awesome. Not a bad price either. Awsome video as always guys.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Sweet blade enjoy it Girl!

[@yveskc1]

Thanks for the candy store tour! ATB -Yves

[@Myn6211]

Great knife Brooke. I'm glad you found one you liked and I'm betting it was tough to have to choose between the ones that felt good in your hand.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

there were a lot of nice knives there to choose from!

[@gonerydin4225]

That new knife is awesome, of course! But I like the old on too. : )

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

me too :)

[@rinaldocatria4386]

Get yourself a Bark River knife of your liking in Magnacut steel. It combines toughness, edge holding and unsurpassed rust and stain resistance. They are occasionally making some of the favorite models in it .. but they sell out fast.

[@gosmoothgolight7567]

Wow ... what a cool way to cap off the UP Tour series! I'm definitely looking into one of those BRK Mini Kepharts ... love the way they look! Thanks for sharing, Brooke! Beautiful knife :)

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks for watching!

[@gosmoothgolight7567]

Quick question ... is that spring you and Dave stopped at anywhere near Big Springs? I plan to be heading to Mid Michigan (Owosso) from North Dakota in late May. Also want to stop at Knives Ship Free in Escanaba ... "On da way 'tru, eh?"

[@TheAnvil1971]

Nice Video and you got a beautiful Bark River knife! Today I ordered my Donnybrook and I own several others. My favorite for bushcraft tasks is the Aurora. But all Bark Rivers perform very well, I simply love them and the Stewart´s are very friendly people which I like to support. Knifes ship free is also a great partner and I was sad so sad when I heared the news, that Dereck passed away. Why have to good ones always have to go first? Greetings from Germany!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

yes so sad indeed!!
