Those whit rivers are good look knives, I’ve never held one but the ergonomics look great
they put a lot of thought into everything on that knife. The choil, jimping, ferro rod striker, steel lined bow drill divot, the kydex sheath (although the leather one looks amazing too), the ferro rod holder (location, handle, and sheath mount).

Definitely recommend taking a look if you ever want another.

my only complaint with my bark river is the sheath, it’s a fine one for just chucking it into my pack but not a good carry sheath. I actually had to purchase this hand made leather sheath for it, had the guy add the dangler so I can carry my knife even while I have a pack on.

Interesting.

I have the kydex sheaths just to reduce rust risk while on extended trips but I can definitely see why you’d want that one.

The Firecraft as two sheath options but there are other companies out there that can make customs for their models.

which Bark River do you have pictured?

On the same topic of knives but with folders, just thought I’d show my 940 Osborne with custom scales and back spacer.

I just barely added the scales and spacer, but have owned the knife for a few years. I really like the 940’s blade geometry. It holds up really well to tougher tasks and has served me very well for EDC. My only complaint was the slippery aluminum scales which is why I wanted something more grippy.

The scales come from Rockscale Design and I also have their scales on a couple other knives. Definitely recommend if you are wanting to improve your knife.

A chef's knife may be the most important purchase you will ever make for your kitchen. The blade can range from 12 to 20 centimeters but is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 15. The blade is usually 3 to 4 centimeters wide and triangular. Their utility is what makes chef's knives so important. They can do everything from finely chopping onions to quickly chopping vegetables to chopping bones. I would also advise you to buy a can crusher; this is an important tool in the kitchen and knives. I bought it at https://www.amazon.ca/HomeBuddy-Can-Crusher-Recycling-Aluminum/dp/B08D6QV6B5. I like the device and the way it works.

Sometimes knowing how to use a chef's knife is survival.

I went hunting one year with a coworker who pulled out a steak knife to clean a deer with.

In my younger years of archery hunting, I whacked a deer and after tracking it, I realized I left my knife at home after sharpening it. Never put it back in my pack. I unscrewed a broadhead (the old satellite broadhead) and used the blades to gut it. It worked, but not the fastest and best way to do the job.
