Bark River Bravo 1 LT: In Field Review

[@vr66luke]

You’ve really come a long way Pete

[@silverback4434]

Hi , i have tested the regular bravo 1 and my esee 4 split better than my bravo 1 . I think its because the bravo 1 is too thick . My esee 4 enter better and deeper in the log vs my bravo 1 it is a little bit difficult to enter in the log . I can't wait to try the bravo 1 LT in 3v . Thx for your video .

[@valkry007]

Have the same knife same steel with the desert ironwood slabs, carry it with me every time I go out, perfect size feels great works great, love it.

[@greekveteran2715]

Either that's the softest wood on the planet, or this knife cuts into it, literally like butter..! This or the Gunny 3V? Which cuts--slices better?!! Thanks in advance

[@mrc2205]

Wow that knife is a chopper and just beautiful. I may buy myself one of those.

[@Kman31ca]

I just ordered the Bravo 1 25 LT in 3v with the new sheaths. Stoked to get it. Got it for a great price too. 225$ can

[@aidenlin9878]

How is it? I'm not sure if I should get the bravo 1 lt or 1.25. Does the longer blade make it more difficult to do more precise cutting tasks like carving?

[@BaconNBeer]

I have the Bravo 1.5 ramp less which came with a cheapo sheath. I got it from a pawn shop. I got the Saratoga model from Patriot Leather. The whole thing just feels like supreme quality. A top end knife in 3V and a top end sheath. So nice I have a hard time using it. I got a sanding pad for sanding sheet rock. It has a handle and a foam pad that the sand paper goes over it is perfect for the convex edge then hit the strop and Oh Yeah baby!

[@jmunsamy]

Enjoyed the banjo music during the feather sticking stage, quite relaxing stuff.

[@jn3750]

Please test the 5 inch version of this knife

[@jouzel8951]

Hi, nice video! what watch is that? I have a Seiko that looks the same.

[@michaelblanco2668]

I find your videos so entertaining! Truly wonderful content. Best knife guy on the web.

[@johnsonmike527]

Sagewood gear makes a beautiful series of sheaths for the BRK Bravo 1. I had to send my BRK Gunny back to the company had the the thumb ramp removed.

[@jackfarmboy]

That song will surely be a hit 😂 Sir this whole video was great and entertaining 👍

[@mrc2205]

Pete I follow you from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. You always amuse me. I am a female who loves knives, and I have half a dozen Barkys. And about a dozen Benchmade folders. Keep up the interesting vids.

[@Prodigalson0078]

I'm only halfway into this video, but I must say, I had to subscribe as you are an entertaining and humorous KZbinr. Great review so far!

[@stuartknight2174]

Thats why when I ordered mine, I got the ramp ground off ! hopefully I won't have any of those sheath problems !

[@jimbernard8964]

Epic Highlander reference! HUGE extra credit for that!

[@CryptoChristopher]

Interested in hearing your thoughts on the rust/corrosion resistance of 3v since you used it near water and have done other rust tests with other steels.

[@jay-rus4437]

Those sheaths absolutely suck. First thing that I did for my Bravo 1.25 LT was order a JRE sheath like the LT Wright knives come with. The JRE sheaths are WAY better. Bark River needs to do some serious sheath evaluating

[@grizzlycountry1030]

I bought a knife on ebay that came with a jre sheath. First thing I did was throw the jre sheath out and order a sheath from another company.

[@1800moonSugar]

Well that was stupid ​@@grizzlycountry1030

[@kevinAuman1]

Hey brother, what kind of watch are you wearing here?

[@charlescollier7217]

Nice knife! I keep wondering though, are crocs not an issue in your area?

[@CedricAda]

Charles Collier thankfully not this far south in the murray!

[@charlescollier7217]

CedricAda Gear and Outdoors Good to know!

[@edwardlee3276]

Trying to get myself one of these knives, but also located in Australia. Where did you buy it from? thanks

[@CedricAda]

check out www dot aussieknives dot com they are our ‘official’ type dealernit seems

[@edwardlee3276]

@@CedricAda Thank you, it seems that they do not currently have stock of the bravo 1 LT

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Cedric, Actually, your Thumb goes over the Ramp according to Bark River, when I talked to them. Infact I have (3) Bravo 1's, One in A2, Two in 3V. Dilly Dilly.,,.p

[@shadeshiest22]

Wow I’ve NEVER seen such a small knife chop so good! You weren’t even swinging hard, or choking back on the handle! That thing just digs into wood!! Well looks like this was uploaded was years ago, how has the knife held up?? Still like it/own it? Would you buy it again(without the thumb ramp of course) all over again???

[@timbo4374]

Damn..you don't fool around when you make tent pegs..I never saw anyone use flagpole size logs for pegs, lol.. Hey..whatever works for ya..good review.

[@JunkyardFox]

Great review, bro! funny yet educational. Knife looks badass. I always like humps on knives, remind me of the crests on the skulls of carnivorous dinosaurs: allosaurus, giganotasaurus, etc, though I've never used humped Knives, so I'd probably hate using them no matter how cool they look lo

[@semdijkstra9784]

Funny...were both dinosaur and knife lovers

[@semdijkstra9784]

Hmm curious..i never had a problem with a bark river sheath

[@EDCwithAaron]

I've been planning on getting one, probably without the thumb ramp... either matte black micarta or snakeskin micarta like my bushbat (which is for sale if anyone is interested!)

[@johneykennick102]

Great video! I would love to visit Australia some day.

[@listenup455]

Great review as always 👍 What're the odds of us getting a Bravo vs S1 shootout soon? (Hint hint)

[@CedricAda]

Matt K great idea!

[@mrc2205]

Our timber is bloody hard.

[@ozyrob1266]

Funny as Mate, Good to see your subs growing. Keep up the great work :-)

[@BCJerbs]

That wood your sawing was no joke! What kind of wood you say that was? It looks like it would be great for handle scales! Thanks for your review....i have one in route to me as I write this and seriously can't wait! Stay awesome! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🇭🇲🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼

[@bigfrank2959]

Can you get a scagel large hunter and test it for all of us?!?!?

[@barrybueler3356]

I personally would love this knife even more without the polished handle I definitely prefer a good grip over shiny handles.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

That’s an easy fix mate, just give it a light sanding

[@shahirbear]

Nice to see at least one other person using a victorinox multi tool haha. Love my Spirit.

[@explorethebush]

Best dressed bush crafter on KZbin, are you a Real Estate Agent from Double Bay? I like this knife though

[@Gizmo_The_Familiar]

arse cam earned you a sub

[@rsb6479]

Great review

[@321654987510]

haha got a laugh when you broke the stake a good honest review 👍

[@aidenlin9878]

i lost it when he impersonated gideonstactical

[@D45VR]

'epic wood between my legs right now'

[@chongrobertjones]

Cool vid, man

[@relaxeful]

Crazy chopper for its size

[@banditgriot2000]

The non-LT Bravo 1 is less than .25" thick, it is closer to .20. Great video I just subscribed.

[@dubasciver3234]

Man you are a funny guy. The whole time I'm thinking a crocodile or huge lizard is going to come up from behind you. I just ordered a BR1 LT but in Royal Pearl Kirinite. Love wood handles but I couldn't resist the funky colours. Anyway, as a Canadian I couldn't help appreciate your good humour. And yeah, the reviews on the sheaths aren't that great, eh.

[@CedricAda]

+Bryan Tinlin thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah the sheaths are such dissapointment. I ended up keeping the fallkniven S1 instead, im one of those crazy fuckers who likes the fallkniven zytel sheath for what it is!

[@Onedayilbeok]

Bryan I'm the same as you with kirinite but mine is Desert Camo they are pretty slippery though

[@SarahRileyThomas]

The dlt dress sheath for bravo one is a great option in my opinion but leather will always be subject to the elements.

[@ClimbAClassic]

Dude good video but wow your hands are always waving around the blade and I keep thinking oh no -- he's going to get zapped any second. Stay safe! Great work!

[@andrewkelk8414]

Bushcraft is basically ' dicking around in the bush ' 🤭

[@1987jkilla]

I hate the thumbrail. Sold my beautiful Chakte Viga Burl Bravo-1 with ramp and ordered a Bravo-1 LT without ramp. I hope the cholla & turquoise handle will be even more beautiful.

[@gaismaszeme7465]

Man, esee knives don’t have rough handles. They are practical.

[@momo-hs5jn]

So i guess its a cliche that when you´re living in australia you always need to be careful of all kinds of dangerous and poisonous animals out there to harm you...

[@shane4176]

Good video!

lmao, the attempt at a shabazz accent had me in stitches

[@The_last_boy_scout]

you said doodoo

[@leyton3018]

why the bloody hell are you dressed like that while in 35 degree temperature and kayaking

[@CedricAda]

sun protection mainly (roll down the sleeves when on the water etc) and also because its a well made shirt that is less likely to fail. Last time I went, an el cheapo Woolrich shirt (from their chinese made selection) burst at the shoulder on a stroke and was very annoying! I know it seems odd going out in your sunday best but it actually went pretty well👍🏻👍🏻

[@eachday9538]

CedricAda Gear and Outdoors I'm with you, no need to break out the thongs, blue singlet and stubbies we are issued at birth until it hits the mid 40's.

Kit Bloke exactly, plus theres plenty of funerals and parliamentary sittings to wear those at along the way

[@eachday9538]

CedricAda Gear and Outdoors Ha ha! I was going to say weddings, but didn't want to get too sidetracked on discussing local customs, I like to keep my comments sharp and on point, as you know.

[@SeanJohnson-qm4pu]

Be careful of crocodiles

[@frankwoods135]

I'll take an essee over that bark river as far as function and durability that sheath is cheap and i prefer kydex which I would be getting with an essee good video liked and subscribed do more knife tests like this 👍

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Good knife. Horrendous sheath !
