Bark River Bravo 1 LT - Bark River Week Day 4 / 6

[@thedude1744]

Just ordered my third Bark River knife the Bravo 1 LT and it has that Blue C-Tek omg these new handle materials are really nice. I'm kind of bored with wood handles after seeing them for years and years it's cool to see these new materials. CPM-3V all the way!

[@christopher_martin]

i just bought one in carbon fiber blue liners cpm 3v....beautiful knife

[@johnhuynh9298]

Yes! one of my favourites. Mike is teasing for a 1.25 lt.

[@mistersmith3986]

Lighter with a Full Convex grind. What's not to like? I have a BlackJack knife in full convex grind and love it.

[@zdenekbart]

Bravo1 was designed for some Force Recon Marines (special forces) in original with a ramp.

[@zdenekbart]

Just got Bravo1 LT in Magna-Cut/Ivory G10/yellow liners 🔥🇨🇿

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dutch, Yeah the Bravo Line by Bark River are Aces. Infact the Bravo 1 was my first B R. I have (3) and yeah the Bravo 1 is one of my Fav's I have (2) in 3V and One in A2, But I find the Bravo 1 as is to be perfect for me and how I use my knives in the bush. I even like the ramp. Thanx for sharing a great knife.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

You're right mate. the bravo 1 is one of the most perfect knives as they come from the factory!

[@mr.papalaka374]

Just got my Bravo 1 LT in 3V, it's truly a thing of beauty.

[@stuartknight2174]

Your lucky you got one ..... try getting now now ..... not one on the planet anywhere for sale ! where did you get yours ?

[@PenjaminFranklinn]

@@stuartknight2174 check now lol!

[@bosse641]

Beauty.

[@andresmiguel2573]

I got a Bravo 1.25 L and cut wood with it always 👍🏻

[@TheJoeCool1964]

I am getting the LT, after watching your channel. .... It's only because of the weight. Besides, I have an ax.

[@paolotantolosaigia4752]

nice review as always. I don't have any bark river yet but I'm planning to get one soon, so, if you should choose one between bravo lt and gunny what would you prefer and in which steel?

[@ketodad]

Subbed and following you guys. I have many Bravo 1.25"s in .217. (3V) When they came out with the LT I kinda thought I should have gotten those , but after hard reflection I actually like the thicker one. It's a lot stiffer with what looks like a stronger point and still does all the wood stuff I need it to do. I can do feathers no problem and don't mind the solid weight. I can always pair it with a woodcarving knife if need be , but If I had to carry only one knife I'd be able to do anything with the knife I had to. There's 10's of thousands of Bravo owners out there with the .217 thick knives who are very happy with them , me included. It's like a custom Becker BK-2 with much better performance for a one-tool option.Imho.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

a bravo 1.25 is perfect in my book. The regular bravo is just a tiny bit too short for real batonning. The 1.25 is the most versatile of the line I think

[@ketodad]

I agree. I have the 1 , 1.25 , and 1.5 and a 5" blade I think is the sweet spot for a bushknife although any of those will work.

[@lorisb1513]

I bought the same knife with a drop point and Coffebag Burlap micarta with white and red liners.

[@matthewjohns2184]

Hello from the UK Really enjoying the vids, well filmed with great presentation. Any chance of some Linder knives being reviewed? I've got a few and think they are a bit overlooked. I'm sure you lads could put them through their paces. All the best, Matty.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey Matthew, we have a linder machete. It's amazing for it's price. I'm sorry to say we are probably not going to do any vidoes on linder soon.. thanks a lot for the compliments! it's really appreciated! cheers!

[@baileysollenberger3589]

awesome on my list now

[@nickakkerman3502]

Bedankt voor jullie videos, altijd erg leuk om te kijken en goed advies: net mijn Bark River Bravo 1 LT in Elmax ontvangen!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Nick Akkerman gefeliciteerd met een geweldig mes! Hopelijk gaat hij een leven lang mee. Fijne dag!

[@frederikkjaer4170]

Did you need to reprofile or regrind you gunny to make it thinner before using it for bushcraft and feathersticking?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

No the gunny is pretty good. We do always sharpen it before we use it

[@frederikkjaer4170]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives is it capable of making as fine feather sticks as a scandi grind?

[@frederikkjaer4170]

Dutch Bushcraft Knives I only have mainly Scandinavian knives, so id like to know: what are the benefits of convex over scandi? Isn't scandi better for woodworking? Remember I have no experience using any convex knives.

[@reece_7567]

convex are usually stronger because there is more steel behind the apex, scandis are better for wood biting and carving but convex are also pretty good for those too, oh and uh...... scandivex

[@rw1415]

Hi guys, where you buying your knifes from? I always wanted to have one descent knife, and decided to go for Bravo 1 LT 3V, but over here in UK is very lack of choice, the only one I can get rampless is micarta black and I have to wait about 6 months to get it.

[@lorisb1513]

Beautiful knife.How is the convex to maintain?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+Loris Buschor I find convex pretty easy to maintain on water stones.

[@bugikraxn]

Hi nice knives. The BR LT looks like a tuned version of my Linder Hunter's Pal ;-) ATB. Franz, bugikraxn.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

that linder is a gorgeous knife! didn't know it! thanks Franz!

[@jownbey]

DBK, what do you guys think about the 1.25 and 1.5? My blackjack tac ops 4 is about the same size as the bravo 1 so i want the ergonomics of the bravo without being redundent haha

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I think the bravo 1.25 would make one of the best allround knives on the market. Excellent handle geometry and IMO one of the best blade lengths. The bravo 1 is a tiny bit too short to be a fantastic batonner. It's good but the bravo 1.25 would be perfect. -stay sharp mate!

[@cabinman4493]

Jordan, I have six Bravo's, the 1.25 is my favorite. Not to long, not to short and has the amazing Bravo 1 handle, you cant go wrong. CPM 3V is the way to go. I have A2, 3V and Elmax, but 3V is the BOMB!!!!!

[@TheJoeCool1964]

In your opinion, would you get the knife in crewaer or cpm 3v ?

[@AOAOAO96]

OMG, you need to see Bravo Vortex, the newest member in Bravo series. That's is a true allound knife, new trick on the leather sheath also!!!And none good review on KZbin yet, so...!!!

[@Godscaliber1911]

A Bark River representative told me the grip width is the same regardless of if it has liners or not.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

it is the same but for some models we recommend liners to thicken the handle a bit

[@seanmtactical6069]

It was designed for US Marine Corps Force Recon units.

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Wow! That LT version with wooden scales is gorgeous! Are the LT Bravo 1 comes with cpm-m4 steel?

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I'm not sure. If it does dlttrading.com wil have it

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Ok. cheers man. I will check it for sure. Keep up the good work.

[@noxnox2721]

Which steel will you prefer for a survival purpose? Elmax or 3V? I am keen to get a smaller bark river knife to match with my bark river grizzly.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

Hey mate, For survival purpose I prefer Elmax as it is completely stainless. On a very large blade however I would prefer 3v because of the extra toughness. Elmax is perfect for smaller blades.

[@noxnox2721]

Hey there, thanks for the prompt reply. The reason I am asking is that virtuovice did mentioned that he did had some inital chipping on his elmax bark river. Agree with you on Elmax being stainless. Guess its a balance between choosing toughness and choosing stainless :)

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I think Wako had most chipping on his fox river which was thinner than normal. His elmax gunny does 5 deers while his 3v does 2-3 deers if I remember correctly. In my experience my Elmax has better edge retention than 3v. I haven't had any chips yet on my Gunny elmax. I do believe elmax is more chippy than 3v that why I would prefer 3v on larger blades. Toughness isn't a big concern for me with small knives like gunny.

[@noxnox2721]

Okay, thanks for your help.

[@lulupauptit4043]

Gaaf! Alleen een beetje duur voor mij ahahahaha nou oke dan maar ernaar kijken! Groetjes!

[@billpeart]

I own many bark and I wish they would make them thinner. jmho

[@nate1920]

the bravo 1 is too thick for any purpose

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Double M, Awh Yeah. This is what I'm talking about. But in this size, I don't unsterstand making it lighter. No, problem, What makes guys boats float. I myself, don't mind the weight of my Bravo 1 Infact the Bravo 1 was my first Bark aRiver Knife. From that I teamed it with the Bravo 2 both with ramps. Then I got the Woodland Special and then the Golok. I still laugh at my Golok, because I got the rounded blunt tip and it L@@Ks like a Big Ole Butter knife. But I don't laugh at it when I cut close to the ground. It doesn't stick into the ground making it a awesome knife in the bish, Infact its my Leiku Type Knife, Its a Full Tang and made in A2. Infact this Set is all A2 and all have the Ghost Green Jade Handles in G-10. Then my other Bravo 1's are in the 3V. I like the knife so much that the fought of loosing it, I bought another one. Yeah, Its my shortest blade Survival Knife I have. Usually I like a 7"-7 1/2" for my Survival Knives then I team them up with a shorter blade. But with my Bravo 1 I could team it with a larger knife or just one of my 2Hawks either my Warbeast Tomahawk which only sounds Tactical but a great chopper for my bushcraft trips or my Double Bit Hatchet which is a very close copy of Nessmuks Double Bit Hatchet. Yeah, My 3V Bravo 1 fits right at home with these vhoppers. Don't get ne wolronh, It feels at home with my G.B. Small Forster Axe or my 17" H.B. Agdor Hatchet plus a Saw. I've used my Bravo 1 in many configurations and it preforns great in anyway I use it. Yeah, Its a great knife and design, I could really understand why its so popular. It's Simply TiTs.,,.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

+paulie 4x I agree. We don't need a lot version. What I especially don't understand is that they made a lot version of the aurora. I actually like a little weight on my knives. It gives them a robust feel.

[@paulie4x1]

True That. I really enjoy Your Channel. Keep up the great work.,,.

[@williewalter2608]

hey lil pauli4skin it sure would be nice to see a you make a video of this ghost green jade handles your alway babbling about also the 2hawks you know your full of shit mate all you got is a bunch of cut and pasted pics of other peoples knives on your google plus page you fucking deganerate. when your not smokeing crack and dressing up in ladies panties ,.,, make a vid ,that would be aces,.,. heh heh heh you fucking looser,.,., ps,.,.
