Oh hi there, I'm just a below average adventurer with above average curiosity and a loose-cannon sense of humor. I like testing out cutlery... but also restoring it and even making it. Cheers (and sneers)!
I've had no issues with the few Bark Rivers I've had over the last decade or so. The only one I have, as of August 2024, is a Little Creek 2. I find it to be fantastic. All my bad luck manifests in Spyderco.
I grind the knives at bark river and also own my own custom knife co. These knibes are hand ground and really hand made for the most part. Sometimes there can be differences in them. That’s why most kydex makers don’t do bark rivers without sending them your knife. I was a customer long before I worked there or started a shop before I worked there. These knives are worth far more than we charge. Convex is king.
Good discussion. I have only a Bravo 1.25 in 3V black canvas for about 8 years now, and it's perfect in every way. Years ago it fell from my hand tip first to concrete floor and the tip was untouched. Since then I trust my Bravo in every aspect. I got rid of the micro bevel and have sharpened it about 8 times, it goes a long way just with stropping. What amazes me about it the most it's the capacity to filet a fish and still be able to chopp wood with the same tool.
Thanks for the good review unfortunately not every knife made for batoning. I got for my self BPS HK1S bushcraft knife, and looking to get more premium knives from their website! Support Ukraine to win this craziness!

Hey madman. Just picked up a g5 at a garage sale. Looks like it’s never been used. Airs up no leaks however nothing happens. It’s like it’s not getting air. When you degass the asa it does bleed off so it seems to be pressuring but then you turn it on and eyes off or on nothing happens. Can hear the micro switch click with the eyes off. Any suggestions ??
I own about a dozen Barkies, each one of them fine tools. I’ve not had any problems with grinds, edge, quality of any type. And if there’s ever a problem, BRK will repair or replace, no questions asked. The only time I’ve ever had any problems with the company is their imprint line, like Blackjack, which run a little cheaper. The grind lines and ergos were seriously messed up. I’ll stick with the main lines and pay the extra money.
I recognized the music and the sosig dialog, and I went "OH, that's H3, I love that game!!" And proceeded to watch through the whole clip, even the little muxup with the sausage, Then I look down and read the title, and I audibly cackled like a goblin. Love your content, keep it up!!
Wow. What a wonderful knife. I've wanted one for years, but haven't yet. But your new one in scandi with the wood handle is stunning. You've re-ignited the flame inside me. The Aurora is truly a fabulous all-purpose field knife. Adding in the CruWear didn't hurt one bit. Probably my favorite. I'll be interested to find out what you think of the scandi grind compared to the full convex ... as well as the feel of the knife in your hand compared to the bone. In the meantime, happy birthday partner. And enjoy the new knife.
Yeah , I own 5 of them. I dont even use them because I have clinical OCD ,and dont use my knives and most valuable possessions (Yeah, it is bad I know). They are too nice. The only thing is weird is, the ramp on the bravos. It is supposed to be a ferro rod striker and not a thumb ramp. It works perfectly as a thumb ramp. Why? So weird. And where is the "designer" "Sgt Bravo". He should comment about the design at least. I should have never watched "Blunttruthforyou" vids. So much money gone lol
Didn't Dangerous Power lose a lawsuit for parent infringement for using Smart Parts patents and not paying for them? I thought that was why they went bankrupt and closed up shop. Can you confirm this?
Me and all my friends stopped playing back in 2019 and when the “pandemic “ hit we stopped and haven’t gone back since. We went from going almost every Saturday to not going at all 😢
Thanks for the story on Dangerous Power. I just purchased a used Dangerous Power G5 Spec R (01/10/2024). I got to be honest, the last time I played paintball was back in the 1990's and I still have my Tippmann Pro Am. I just got the marker to return to the game since my kids have both moved out. Now it sounds like I kicked my kids out to the curb but in true honesty, my wife and I taught them well and focused on their development. My daughter graduated cum laude as a registered nurse in 3 years and passed her boards. She now works out in Phoenix, AZ and makes bank. My son, our youngest child, is attending the University of Arizona majoring in Pharmacy and has a 4-year Academic Scholarship. This brings my story to picking up paintball gun activities and other activities. My Dangerous Power G5 Spec R so far is flawless and fires amazing. I do feel that the efficiency is not great from the 68 cu*in 4500 psi tank. I will have to find the time to get a count shot from a full tank to evaluate its efficiency. I saw a video on a Planet Eclipse LV2 fire 1,250 shots from a similar size tank which is very impressive to me. I am possibly looking at buying a new Planet Eclipse LV2 or CS3. I know they are expensive and the amazing thing I did not think of is when your child finds their independence, you discover that you get a raise. A raise not from my employer but by the mere idea that your child severe the financial connection to my wallet. So, I find a nifty $1200 to $1400 a month of disposable income or self-induced raise. So back to my paintball marker, I fear the parts and service repair on my Dangerous Power G5 Spec R may be limited or unavailable. What's your thoughts on continued ownership of Dangerous Power Paintball markers. I see this video was posted 2 years ago or 2022 so not sure if your thoughts have changed from then but I wanted to get your views on this matter.
No support for these guns doesn’t look good on the part of PE. If you have a 1.5 that you bought new right before the 1.6 came out it’s not that old yet if your noid goes which is common with these you now have a paper weight.
