Bark River STS Blades by Nutnfancy

[@hupkat]

Another excellent KRV Nutnfancy. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work.

[@genxtell]

I have learned all I know about blades form you and continue to enjoy your videos. Thanks for all your hard work over the past few years TMPer for life!

[@TheOgieone]

knife reviews...the heart of the project! Good to see you getting back to the basics....great review.

[@0000Fred0000]

I love the zombie themed knife. Orange and green have always been nice edc colors imo. I like highly visible blades.

[@4TheMostHighJesus]

I must admit when I first saw a video over 21 minutes for knife review I didn't think I was going to watch it but you're very entertaining and I learned a lot about the knives.... I'm very interested in picking up the Bark River STS 8 now... lol ...thanks for posting

[@DannoCrutch]

I love my 154CM folder. Great steel. Tough enough, sharpens easy, pretty good edge retention, and good rust resistance. This is a knife I would love to own.

[@dragonram7]

Love the Sts8 and trail buddy. I can't decide which I want more. Thanks for great review.

[@rpaulpen]

Glad to see you are reviewing some of the Barkies. They make great knives. Started with one and now have 6.

[@AKarnold1010]

I like the 3 for 1 style of the table top. The kershaw tons was a awesome style of review as well. Thanks Nutn

[@kam2057]

I just watched a video from one of the guys who makes Bark River knives and he was talking about the Bravo-1. Designed with recomendations from members of USMC Force Recon who were using the original version called, (I think) the field knife. I just found these knives recently myself, they are awesome lookin! I really like the looks of the Bravo-1. Looks like it has some heft to it I hear razor sharp out of the box. My next blade! I really like your videos bud, good work!

[@ComfortablyNumb1969]

I have already spent lots of time at Bark River's website. Thanks to Nutn', more time will be spent.

[@milehighac2738]

It is very nice! Not a bad price either. I bought one, and I am thoroughly impressed with it. I really like the blade shape. And the handle is extraordinary. I highly recommend one. Everyone who has held the blade ends up wanting one. I want to know what Nutnfancy thinks of it.

[@tillty24]

I've found if you bolt the handles together while shaping it makes it easy to stay off the inner edge and also allows to match the 2 sides very very closely. Great review!

[@KorieG]

So nice to see Nutn pumping out the videos again! It seems as if it's been a while! Later...

[@DanielKao111]

Awesome review! Keep up the amazing videos! Its amazing how far TnP has come:)

[@richkestrel7416]

Between this review and the Sykcos review, there's a ton of kindling on a mountain somewhere out west. :-) Thanks for these reviews. I don't know much of anything about knives, but I'm learning through your great videos. I've already incorporated a Spyderco Tenacious into my EDC system because of your videos... now for a good, multi-purpose fixed blade.

[@Darkerloaf]

LOVE IT. Another awesome knife review! That's what you kick butt at: reviews.

[@clamum]

I love when you review Bark River Knives. They make some custom, quality, collectible knives and it's always kinda fun hearing my back-in-the-woods hometown (Escanaba) mentioned on the Internet, haha. ;-)

[@DanerC07]

I like the coloration of 4'' blade! I love orange and the bright green makes it pop!

[@justinjones691]

Keep up the good work nutn...as always i look to ur videos in my research before purchasing anything

[@ADKwarriors]

Bark River knives are incredibly excellent! The Bark River Golok is my primary wods carry for a few years now coupled with a Blind Horse knives Canteenshop Bushcrafter.

[@SuperCrammo]

Looks much like the Blackjack Tac-Ops series which comes in 3 sizes too. Also made by Bark River.

[@KAM1138a]

I love Allie chillin' while Nutn is batoning--"Oh, that again." :)

[@jeremiahwilson1781]

cool. i like your show and i just happen to like bark river knives. sweet. found a review. like both even more now. thanks.

[@GrimrDirge]

I was just yesterday wondering why you hadn't covered Bark River Knives. I have the Bravo-1 and it's absolutely awesome.

[@jackson041965]

Thanks nutn. You have been so helpful. I appreciat all your hard work greatful for what u do. Help me a lot in your videos. Thanks..

[@social3ngin33rin]

love the color of that handle >.> and the polished blade :O!!!

[@kunieb]

Another awesome review brotha!!! Keep'em coming!!!

[@jacob1714266]

I really want the smaller one, i think it looks awesome and would love it, but i don't have 200$ to drop on it right now. Great review nutn, keep them coming !

[@Squeezetifer]

Have you ever used a Mel Parry blade? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that knife.

[@hoytren]

Hi Nutn, since I started watching your knife reviews 2 month ago, I've spent 2000+ dollars on knifes that I have no plan or place to use, especially here in China where we have to register ID numbers for buying kitchen knifes, buying US made knifes is super hard, I get ripped off by importers all the time, like spending 250 dollars for BM 940, which makes me mad every time, but anyway , I enjoy all the reviews you put up here, wish more cool things come up , appreciate your hard work

[@razorspoon]

Say Nutn. How do you feel about knives that have blades made of softer steels that are used for survival knife? I mean that in the sense that you would be stuck in the wilderness indefinitely. The thought on it is that a softer steel is easier to put an edge on with a rock you find out where ever you are.

[@rmkartisan]

Love the Nutnfancy Films intro.

[@sonnyna3801]

Really wish a brown leather sheath were available for the sts8. Can't find them anywhere

[@davemathews1000]

Sonny na I make a sheath for this knife

[@3232mikeymike]

+Sonny na look up Dave Raffensperger on facebook. He does great leather work

[@aammcc14]

Wow! A Bark River review! I own a Bark River Bravo 1 SS. Movin' on up huh Nutn?

[@sl66ICEcuba]

DAMN that STS-5 just looks great... I have been looking into one for a while and thats the colour scheme I have been searching for :(

[@apkpicker]

Another great vid, Nut'n. I hear bead blasting gives great texture to Micarta. Maybe Mission Spec Camo could do it for ya!

[@moorshound3243]

Hay man grate vid as always, keep doing them doing them doing them doing them!!!

[@Kleinfreak]

Not CPM154 but rather in A-2 tool steel the Blackjack Tac-Ops 8 series is the same design also created by Mike Stewart. I own both the BRKT STS and the Tac-Ops and love them both. I do tend to beat on the A-2 carbon steel a bit more and worry about it less. I do find the Tac-ops handles a bit more comfortable for the average chore. There are still a few out there. Most STS have been sold out for a while.

[@Player_Review]

POU = To kick ass at killing wood. Though I prefer the drop point 3V, S35V and A2 variants... In other words, the Bravo series, ideally the Bravo 2. And, yes, they mill out their full tangs to save on weight... it is just hidden by the handles.

[@Player_Review]

Collectible, yet I'm going to beat the shat out of my green micarta Bravo 2 in A2. Yeah, it cost $207 on sale, but I'm not going to just look at it. BTW, it curls receipt paper out of the box (no micro-bevel).

[@TheOnlyRatDragon]

You might want to check out the Bravo series from Bark River. They're probably more your speed and the 2 is in your preferred size.

[@GabeMacDonnell]

Why do the screws on the STS-8 protrude so far from the handle? Big ergonomic miss, just like the sharp handle. Bark River usually does better on ergos, though their handles tend to be too small for me. But then, i think a Bk-2 is comfy!

[@tacticsurvival7278]

You every tried to stipple the handle scales boss? The same way many people do their clocks, Ka-Bar Becker scales, etc. I think it would look awesome on that blue G10 handle. Cool way to create traction as well as give a personalized feel to the blade.

[@emaxhengst]

Love the new opening!!!

[@varicodin]

Please do a review of the "Blackjack Tac Ops 8" Looks like a darn sweet knife.

[@Commonsense34]

Hey nutnfancy would you think about doing a video on the bark river Golok?

[@midwestcoastapiculture6777]

+Tristan Garwood Don't wait for it... get one. You won't regret it.

[@Commonsense34]

+McNugget Thank you for the reply. I bought one from blade Hq and I do love it well worth the money and the warranty really sold me.

[@JDYTC]

Awesome! Some superior convex edges! I think the Bravo series are even better. They will make a Bravo 2.5 and a Bravo 3 later this year. In 3V steel, which I think is much better outdoor steel than 154

[@gring55555]

Hi nutn, any chance of a survive knives review. with cpm-3v steel? Thanks in advance.

[@racedok]

How about Frog Lube for your knives? That way you can protect them and still use them for food prep. Love your work, Nut'n. Keep em coming!

[@GabeMacDonnell]

I'm not sure of 154cm in larger knives, but the SK5 Blackbird, by Ontario is 154, 5" for $100. Nice design, for sure.

[@ActionHero29]

Great design the SK5

[@jcv0220]

Checkout the Blackjack Prototype series, also made by Bark River, is similar in design but a bit thinner. I believe, made with A1 tool steel.

[@falcon207]

what is your take on the older Buck Buckmaster Knife?

[@fadugleman]

The knife show is back!

[@94tehseen]

I'd watch a cooking with nutnfancy any day of the week.

[@naturebc]

Hey nutnfancy, what do you use to sharpen your knives?

[@MrSF0RZA]

camera not focusing messing with my eyes.. keep the knife vids coming. Thanks nutn!

[@sarachen1457]

How do you oil tang of the knife? If It is pinned and cannot take the scale apart to oil the tang. Wouldn't it rust under the scale?

[@midwestcoastapiculture6777]

+Sara Chen The handle scales are epoxied to the blade steel when they're constructed... unless the epoxy breaks down (I.E. total knife failure) there's no way for moisture to get behind the scales. Same with the wood handles. Also, they use bolts, not pins. I own several, in several steels, and have never had nor seen nor heard of any moisture under the scale problems. Give them a try-they're amazing, and, if there's something you don't like about the one you receive, BRKT is usually no-questions about reasonable modification to suit your needs and ergo... you just cover shipping costs. I recommend the 3V steel... worth the extra $$ for what I do.

[@sarachen1457]

+McNugget thank you!

[@Fresnocp1969]

Great work like always Bro!!

[@nathanatramp]

Might you try WD-40 LTCI for corrosion resistance? I've heard good things.

[@clamum]

Cool. I lived at, and my parents still live in, the Soo Hill area. I definitely miss the Yoop but I had to follow the career down to Ann Arbor. Not a lot of software development careers in the U.P., though they do exist cause I did it for nearly 4 years in Esky.

[@clamum]

nutn: I posted a link to your review on Bark River's Facebook page, they said they appreciated the share! I wanted them to know that there's at least a few people that have heard of their great products. On a side note, would you ever consider doing a review of one of their Bravo series knives? Or Gunny?

[@rmkartisan]

Love the new intro

[@ozgundemirr]

I would appreciate a hd quality video though..

[@ogdenmgaming]

Hey nutnfancy what is your opinion about MORA knives?

[@GUERRILLACOMM]

The Bark River Bravo 1 is the Knife that the Marines Force Recon was associated with. Though not confirmed and could be interweb myth-legend.

[@TheDragorin]

What is your preferred tactical general carry knife.

[@oneromile]

Knife guy here! Thanks to TNP.

[@MichaelWheelock]

I love my Bark Rivers - FYI kniveshipfree is closing out a line called blackjack that is made by Mike Stewart of Bark River. Great deals on excellent knives, not a $30 Kbar, but maybe $100 off the cost of a Bark River for an excellent knife. Check the tac ops series - very similar to the Bark River STS. No affiliation except my tacops 6 just came in the mail :)

[@EdSchneeebly]

What do you spray it with, and why? nice video, thats a great looking knife.. going over to the websites now lol

[@lobo9er]

7:06 looks like a nice chip in the blade about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of the blade.

[@k1ngg05tl3]

Hey nutnfancy, I've been lookin around, these knives are beauties! but it's a bit too expensive for me. Could you please recommend ones just like these for a cheaper price? thanks :)

[@beyblayder]

where are the pocket blades nutn?

[@maxcoseti]

If the STS-5 weights 9 oz then it's really lightweight for what it is IMO, take the CS SRK: 8 oz, just 1 extra oz gives you a .270" thick blade vs 3/16" plus the convex edge makes it cut like a thinner blade. On the other hand I'd rather have more belly, but as you said, the knife's a fighter

[@sonnyna3801]

I dont understand why my kydex sheath scratches the blade. Everytime it goes in the sheath it comes out with a new scuff/scratch somewhere. Really pisses me off.

[@Ryomichi]

+Sonny na maybe there are tiny sand/ stones inside your sheath. hopefully after 4 moths you figured out.

[@UnusualTastes]

That doesn't scream "zombie" to me so much as it does "Nickelodeon".

[@KnivbutikSE]

About the blades on ebay, do you ship to Europe?

[@charlesjacques750]

Vs much cheaper Ontario SP 50 Gen ll? With Duracoat?

[@NRAbsoule]

Keep up the vids dude. Make a political one about all the bills shot down. I like the vids coming in at night makes for perfect late night television

[@jln6701]

Don't you have a big Falkniven SS blade?

[@DJFrostbyte]

They do in movies! But I have noticed "Zombie stuff" is usually neon color. Hornady Zombie Defense rounds (yes I bought some during firearmageddon) have a neon green tip, my Ka Bar Dozier Zombie is neon green (but I bought that for visibility). But no, zombie's do not exist... just a few random people strung out on bath salts that decide to eat someone's face.

[@milehighac2738]

I have to agree. IMO, a camping knife should not be expensive. I bought the Kershaw camp 10 for like $35, and I am going to put that thing to work.

[@aa39242]

How do i get the orange and green colorway on the sts 4

[@jearamie1980]

Which blade do you like better STS-8 or A2...?

[@nickramirez2995]

hello mr. nutnfancy it is a honor to oost a comment on one of your vids, but I have some paticular knives for you to try out so I can have a true and honest feedback about the knives. the two knives are the ones that joe teti uses in dual survival, which is the surv-tac 7 and the second one is the Tops firestrike fs46. that would be really great to see those two knives in your hands and just abuse the living crap out of them to see what you think the knives

[@vigilante1202]

I dont know where he gets his knives but the prices he mentions in the videos are high. You can get the 5 at about $220 if you look.

[@clamum]

A fellow Yooper, woot! They're about a mile from my parent's house too actually, haha. I'm a troll now though, but I do miss the U.P.

[@mysciencenow]

good review. hey nutn did you know my grandmother was the first auxillary policewoman in the u.s.... she had authority to arrest both civilian and soldiers at the air force base we had here in the 1930s

[@billpeart]

Blackjack tac ops series in 1095, pretty much the same thing but the price is over 100 dollars cheaper for the tac ops.

[@HarySeaword1]

handles look better smooth. I had a feeling you were gonna do that.

[@GabeMacDonnell]

For rust resistant large woods blades- it is REALLY hard to beat Busse's INFI.

[@Travis327z]

Mike did the handles on the STS 5 purposely that way for better grip/traction when used as a tactical blade as intended

[@tsnorquist]

I forget what the surviveknives gso10 has, but it's a sick 10" masterpiece.

[@milehighac2738]

Please review the Kershaw Camp 10, Nutn! It is a high value knife by Kershaw, and I know how much you like high value Kershaws!

[@92993jake]

review the mission mpk-ti it is a titanium tanto blade

[@wulfrictilley9533]

They have made a sts 7 which i have and would recommend :)

[@hcavn]

+Wulfric Tilley Just received mine today ;-}

[@jeffrose5284]

Why would you Baton on rocks?

[@scottmoore5839]

Hi First time writing to you, not sure this is the right place........Best reviews on youtube bar none..! Question: Could you please do a review on the Treeman 6" Ultra Phalanx flat black gun kote camo G10 handles bug out special.....whew long name. Yes it is very expensive = 399.00 And that is one of the reason I am writing you. I would like your advise, Could be a very fun review for you to do as well. Looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the great work...! Thanks Scott

[@turner82992]
