    These bowies are for the enthusiasts and heavy users. You can get 4 Wild West cold steel bowies for the price of one of those. Of course the quality of bark river is far greater and they will last longer. The convex grind is king also.

    I've searched for years to find my knives to fit me. Now I have knives for different jobs like my Bushcraft knife is the Jessmuk , neck knife a scandi ground Patriot, This knife is my do all knife when I'm out, it is worth every penny I've had mine about a year cooked,carved, bushcrafted, clean fish and game both have not found a weak spot in this knifes useability and design although I'm 6'5" and have very large PAWs the handle could be alittle longer but with the finger school I make it work, also I'm disabled so this knife works twice as hard, thank you Bark River, I also have the bark river cub as a back up cause I couldn't get a dam dark timber grizzly made by Pete.tried for years had money in hand even got on the waiting list after Chris got his but never got a phone call even been friend with Pete face before his fame.now I can't afford one it's my white whale...but the Crusader in 3v is a great knife...peace

    I sharpened the swedge on my 3v crusader which makes a big difference with it's penetration, and gives it a true bowie back cut.

    Awesome knife, I absolutely love mine. I knew it was a big knife when I bought it, but once you get this beast in hand, you really feel the 3V weight and solidness. Bit worried about dropping it on my feet at times whilst swinging - it would prob go straight through boots

    Honestly. Truely innovative wilderness goers while take advantage of all option possable. I carry a smaller MSK 2 kneck knife from TOPS, a customized Condor Hudson Bay Survival Knife, and my Gran Forks Bruks Small Forest Ax. Between these three blades I have every need of mine for primitive Bushcraft covered. I like them all. But I like to practice with a small ax and specialize with it. It's easy to build with naturally smelted iron. Therefore could produce a steel ax with primitive means ( or a tomahawk type hatchet at least ).

    I don't need it but if i had that with my benchmade pukko 200. Then i wouldn't actually need any other knife for probably the rest of my life. Though its a lot of money for me and i would still want more knives. However i am super impressed. I find not a lot of cheaper companies make blades that shape and size. They made the knife that's been in my brain my entire life.

    I actually used this knife as a base and am having a custom made up (added 1/2" of blade length, changed up the choil a bit, still in 3V but at guaranteed HRC60, and made by an Australian knife maker, so better for me as an Aussie) going to be a beast as well I am thinking.

    Great video, I bought this last run and it’s actually the first Bark River I’ve purchased. To me the price is relative to what I need it for and didn’t even blink at the price. I’ve been extremely happy with the performance and quality of this tool, I’ll definitely be picking up a smaller Bark River for game processing. BTW I wrapped mine as soon as I pulled it out of the box, thanks for the tip.

    Great review. I have a JX6 Companion in Elmax set up as a necker and love it. And as you indicated in the video it is a perfect companion to this knife. I think the word(s) you were looking for is "financial interest". And I have no problem with a change in "best of" name designation. You can actually flip that to mean the other end of the spectrum. The Schrade Jess-X might feel right at home on that list.

    A knife guy would have to have the resolve of a Benedictine Monk not to run out and start chopping with it ! You are right this knife will out perform a 75.00 - 100.00 knife ; there comes a point where there is the law of deminishing returns. If you spend more let's say for this knife.

    This knife is just a bit larger than the Bravo Survivor. I prefer the Survivor to the Crusader, plus, I've paired my Survivor with the JX5 (which I use for limbing and taking out small saplings). The Survivor does the bulk of batoning and alternates chopping duties with the JX5. T me, the Bravo Survivor is just a bit more nimble and is just sized better than the Crusader.

    G'day Chris, Yes, I'm a winner because I was lucky enough to get a 1st run JX5. Significantly cheaper than this beautiful knife that runs out at AUD$450 for me! Happily, I don't need a 2nd run JX5 because the one that I have will last a lot longer than I will. So thanks again for the JX5 because if it didn't exist I'd be lusting after this knife and the one you did the other day; both of which I can’t afford. Cheers, BH

    • @preparedmind101
      @preparedmind101  Před 5 lety
