Do you like it with or without liners better?

Does the liners make it to thick for comfort in your opinion?

[virtuovice]

@nulisticONE I personally don't like liners very much. I have experienced tiny peeling scales with liners. They are just cosmetic and don't increase the scale adhesion to the tang. Bark River handle thickness differs piece by piece regardless that it has liners or not. It must be contoured after assembling. Thanks.

Wako, I think the balance of the 3V might be affected by the swedge on the blade. It lightens the blade and might have shifted balance point and made it slightly more handle heavy instead of Bravo 50/50. Just my opinion when watching your video.

@knivesfishwild I think you say the point. But I didn't feel any problem on it in the field. Thanks.

The design Sheath is TERRIBLE for such an expensive knife. Bark River should be ashamed of that and so should their dealers for selling such crap! I have a $50 KABAR USMC knife with a better designed sheath! Reid Heikken, the owner of Sharpshooter systems who builds those sheaths should be ASHAMED of himself for making such a FLIMSY and WEAK loop design! Virtuovice was being VERY polite in his review. It SUCKS. IMHO Bark river needs to GET A NEW SHEATH MAKER!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they sent you that lousy sheath with that expensive knife. Maybe they sold the company to someone. I love the knife though. I love the color. Ir is the most perfect knife for skinning, yet. I can't wait to see your durability test. Thank you for sharing. I won't be buying any Bark River products until I see the new sheath an the durability test results. The edge sharpness was phenomenol.

@virtuovice Wako, just recently I received my new Bravo 1 in CPM 3V with the same handles and a regular blade shape without the swedge. The knife is still handle heavy, so it must be due to the micarta, not the swedge grinds.

I am eagerly waiting for the video with your report on long term 3v steel testing, its edge holding and sharpening ability. Love your channel!

I just received a bottle of Japanese Choji oil to keep on my carbon blade knives. I have never used it before.

@virtuovice I didn't think u will too. Most great knives are not balanced 50-50 too. And most bushcraft knives are also handle heavy. I hope u will have fun with this new knife :)

[jambiyaSlaughter]

The more I watch your videos, the more I feel that the Japanese people are running into the same opressive government regulation present in Europe. Don't feel to bad, It's coming to the U.S as well.

@mrmonkeyman50 From KnivesShipFree. But other stocking dealers like DLT Trading, Crystal Falls Trading, or The-Knife-Connection will have the same ones in 2 colors or EEP waterproof. Thanks.
