Seems to be a great knife (hard to go wrong with Bark River, and this is my first knife from them). This is a first impression video as I have not had the time to go and use this knife in the woods.
At $250 this is a knife many won't buy, but it is worth the money as it will last a lifetime.
I will not carry this as a backpacking blade due to the weight, but if one wants a knife that they can build a shelter and fire quickly with, this is the blade. It takes the place of an ax in my book, and should still be paired with a smaller 3-4" blade as 12" is a little big for spreading peanut butter on bread.
