      I have had the bk2 for 4 years now also the bk7 and 9 and 1095 crovan steel is good steel it has to be sharpened more but it takes an edge easy but like any of us i bought a bravo 1.5 and a fallkniven a1 and after you use cpm3v or vg10 you see the pros to picking up one of them instead when your heading into the deep woods for 10 days but for the price i love beckers i would recommend them anyday for the price because my bravo 1.5 cost me 410 dollars canadian so ya not cheap

      I'd add that the benefit of CPM 3V is that you really don't need to worry about sharpening in the field because the edge retention is likely 2nd to none...maybe BRK Cru-Wear could compete.

    I got a BR Bravo 1 as a carry knife. It was late at night, I was tired, and I then found a super cool looking one; fancy pins, black scales with red liners, just beautiful. The only problem is I wasn’t paying close enough attention and the metal I chose was M-4...
    I live in a humid area (rust) and although this metal will cut forever, when its dull, it takes elite skill to resharpen (which I don’t have). Now I am afraid to even use it. It went from my “go to” knife to a safe queen. The lesson? Pay attention when you order a knife!!!

      BUY ONE! I promise you will NOT be disappointed. There are two hard things to take into consideration. One is just using such a great / sexy knife and concerned about hurting the knife (won't happen). The other is that after buying a BRK, you're going to spend more because you'll want to buy ANOTHER BRK! :D

    I own both knives, but my Bravo 1 is in A2. I have tried them both and the Bravo 1 just crushes it. When I camp I NEVER go without by Bravo 1, I use it for everything and I love it! I have knicked it on rocks batoning and taken the chip out quickly with strops and ceramic rods. The BK2 weighs about 1000 lbs on my waist also, so that seals the deal...especially with the terrible factory sheath. If we are just talking cost, the BK2 is tough to beat. Both just excellent knives, but I will take my Bravo 1 against pretty much the field.

    Well done. I just came back from a six day camp out. My Esee 4 with 1095 by the end of the week with little maintenance had a lot of rust which I expected. I wanted to test it compared to same treatment of my Bark River Bravo 1 in CPM 3V and my Bravo EDC in CPM M4. The 3V surprisingly had no rust despite being wet. M4 a few stains but no rust. The 1095 in same treatment rust all over. I expected it but it was my first time with these knives in being able to have this comparison. The 3V and M4 held their edge all week. 1095 required sharpening every day. I love my Esee knives but my Bark River Bravos are proven to be better for me.

    I'll take the BK2. Aside from the fact that it's much less expensive, the BK2 can do heavy camp labor better than the other one, plus I wouldn't mind beating on the BK2 because it's seems like an actual tool whereas the Bark River seems like a collectible that should be in a gentleman's display case. Yea, the Bark River can slice and dice better than the BK2, but plenty of knives can slice and dice as good or better than the Bark River.

      How does it look like a collectable? Its plain design with black canvas micarta. Its pretty no frills. Knives purpose is slicing and dicing. What is "heavy camp labor"? What are you doing at your camp? I bet the Bravo one with CPM 3v is just as strong or stronger than the BK2 in its chunky 1095.

    • @profd65
      @profd65 Před 3 lety +2

      @@lyman135 I wouldn't buy either of those knives because I wouldn't carry either of those knives backpacking--they're way too big and heavy. As far as I'm concerned, those are camp knives, or conversation pieces. I'm not lugging them around. The BK2 is ludicrously heavy, but even the Bravo 1 at a half-pound is too heavy. I'm not trying to be Rambo. I'm interested in hiking and scrambling in the mountains, and carrying a big-ass knife is not part of my plans. The Benchmade Puuko is about the heaviest knife I would think about carrying. I'm not sure what "bushcrafters" do, but to stay warm in the wilderness I use a down sleeping bag and a good tent.

      @profd65 Před 2 lety

      ​@@lyman135 I brought up backpacking because knives are tools to me, and I judge them on their practicality, not on their coolness or collectibility. And backpacking is one of the scenarios in which I would have a knife. You following along yet? It would be cool to have knives like that backpacking, but they're too big and heavy to carry...especially the BK2. I could maybe see bringing the Bravo 1 along backpacking, but the Benchmade Puuko is half the weight of the Bravo 1 and serves the same function.
      So in which situation would the knives in the video be the best tools for the job? Not half-ass tools, but the best tools?
      What about using the BK2 or Bravo 1 at home? I think it's pointless to do so, because if I want to split lumber I'll just grab an axe or a maul, and if I want to cut or chop food I'll get a knife from the kitchen. So where would you use them? The only practical use I see for knives like that is to be on standby in an emergency kit that I kept in my car; since the car in that case is doing the heavy lifting, I might as well throw a big ass knife in the kit.

    Can you do this test with the Bark River 3V vs the A2?

    Hey dudes. I generally love your channel. But, I didn’t think that this was a fair comparison as these two knives were designed for different purposes I think. Anyway rock on! I love the cooking stuff and mickey b. Could be doing the music. Bushcraft guitar anyone?

    I feel this test would have been more accurate if the Bark River 1.5 was used. Matches up with the Becker better in my opinion.

    I'm going to make the BRB1 but with a longer blade.
