bushvid 003 — Bark River Canadian Special Vid #1

A dozen members of the iKnifeCollector forum are having a week each, hands-on, to evaluate a Bark River Canadian Special knife in a "Pass Around". Each will conduct their own tests and report to the group. Here is my first evaluation, and why it's favorable.

Thanks for the video! I was thinking about getting the one with the two-toned micarta handle, myself.

If it's not too much trouble, how do you sharpen yours? That convex grind has me a bit confused...

[bushvid]

I looked up some of the many good YT vids on convex sharpening. It's easy with a little practice. You'll do well.

Hey Andy...did Jenna do the Lanyard?

[bushvid]

Turns out that Pat, the guy before me on the pass around did it. I just Jenna without knowing.

Dude.... you have got to be careful..... you could put an eye out with that thing....

I've seen this ivory handle model for sale which said it was a good camping/field knife.. would you agree? I ask cause you mentioned it only as a kitchen knife... I'm looking for a good all-around knife that is non-folding

I like the color of your knife, looks like the yeller handles on sodbusters :D

The Canadian Special is my FAAAVVVV of all the barkies :D

I traded a Gunny for a Canadian Special recently. I love the Canadian Special. Feels great in the hand. It's an all around great camp knife for battoning, food prep, etc. It will probably do well at field dressing game and cleaning fish as well. I'm extremely impressed by this knife. One of my favorites so far.
