Title: Another new knife
Post by: Ron LaClair on August 28, 2020, 10:46:10 AM

I received this in the mail today. I have a reputation for liking big knives but Surprise Surprise it's a little knife.

Bark River Bravo EDC CPM-154 Orange Cyclone Mesh - White Liners, OA length 7" Blade length 3.5". I was able to get it with a left hand sheath. It'll make a good every day carry knife.

Nice looking knife Ron.  I like smaller knives like that and think that one is a beauty.

I may have a reputation for carrying big knives and I must admit I do like them but I like all knives, even the small one's.

I have knives with 8, 9, and 10" blades and those knives can be carried and used in the outdoors but you don't go into the grocery store or the bank with a small manchette swinging on your side.

This little knife will be carried discreetly under my T-shirt where it will be handily accessible for any cutting jobs that may come up throughout the day.

Light Ironwood burl is between the top curly maple and lower bodark in color looking forward to early July.

Custom order wait time 10-11 months, gives me time to scrape acorns into a pile.

I got an email from Lucas yesterday, I had a vintage Kephart on order that wouldn't be ready for a long time yet. A person had ordered this knife and changed his mind on his order so it became available. As soon as Lucas can get a left hand sheath made it will be on it's way to me.

Blade length 4.5", aged oak handle
