Bark River Bravo EDC knives

Hi folks, I’m sharing a pair of Bark River Bravo EDC knives. One has a modest drop point design while the other has a swedge grind. These versions are in the Elmax steel, but they also come in A2 tool steel. The specs and details are listed below. Enjoy!

The Bravo EDC is a scaled down version of the Bravo 1, but it is even smaller than the Gunny. It came with a hair popping a convex grind and a micro bevel. The drop point version has a more robust point for drilling, while the swedge grind design has a more delicate tip for finer work and piercing. The 3.1 mm spine gives this knife good strength, but this girth also reduces its slicing ability. It is only a marginal slicer. The sheath is a bit bulky and lacks a snap closure.

In short, the Bravo EDC is a premium everyday carry knife. It offers good utility and can serve as a handy companion around the farm or workshop. It can also be used for whittling, carving or preparing small game. This EDC fixed blade is just one of many options on the market. There are many other choices, or you can always opt for a folding knife if that’s something that appeals to you more. I’m sure whatever knife you choose will be the right one for you.
