Tag along with me and my husband, Dave Whipple (Bushradical), as we get a personal tour of the Bark River Knives factory in Escanaba, Michigan. Bark River Knives produces high-end custom knives that are well-known in the survival and bushcraft communities, as well as knife aficionados. Mike Stewart, the owner of BRK, gave us an inside look at how these beautiful knives are produced!
Thanks to Mike and the staff at Bark River Knives for the hospitality!
You can find their knives for sale at www.knivesshipfree.com- I highly recommend this outlet for your purchase!
Thank you for your views, comments, and support of this channel!

@federico02072 3 года назад

This was fantastic im gonna check out their website

@marekmasar5216 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this!!! For me Bark River is the best knife company (fixed blade) using best quality materials ,what I would call midtech fit and finish like mass-produced!!! There is no-one that do what they do... Big dream of my, unfortunately I moved to Indonesia recently and we don't have them here and if you find aftermarket it's gonna cost 2-3times the original price!!! One day I will have it and I go for CPM 4V

@semco72057 5 лет назад

I didn't know where their knives was made and I learned more the last two months and is glad that I did find that this company is in Michigan. I saw some of their knives on RU-vid channels and the owners love their knives.

@rbmac10 6 лет назад

Awesome thanks for this video I've been kicking around taking their weekend class grind in and after watching this I can't wait to take the class and make a knife what a nice guy and operation definitely be proud to carry their knifes.

@Myn6211 6 лет назад

Phenomenal. Every step hand done, my goodness. This tour has certainly given me a real appreciation for Bark River Knives. I must admit I kind of cringed when I first saw the prices of their knives but now I understand that you are really getting excellent quality and workmanship for that money. Thanks for sharing.

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

yeah but they're beautiful!

@archwhitemage 6 лет назад

this video convinced me to purchase a bark river knife in the future. Good Job.

@frogdogify 5 лет назад

Love my Bark River Bravo!!!

@TwoTracksOutdoors 6 лет назад

Great BRK plant tour and I felt privileged that owner Mike Stewart allowed you both to film the different processes of making a knife and sharing it with us. I found myself drooling over all his knives laying on the various tables and work stations throughout the tour. I was just as impressed when Mike indicated you could send your knife back in and have it repolished at no charge, except for the shipping. Don't know of too many companies that do that. You could feel the pride of work ethic on the part of all the employees as you took your camera through the different rooms and watched Mike explain some of the processes entailed in making a BRK knife. Kudos to BRK and all of you for making and allowing this video to be made. It was so great to observe the methods of manufacturing from one of the premiere USA knife makers.

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

Yeah it was awesome!

@hazetheherd2214 6 лет назад

Brilliant video 😊

@davekibbey7944 6 лет назад

The owner greets you at the door not in a three piece suit, but wearing a sweat shirt with grinding dust on the front. That tells me that he is hands on when running his company. To me that is impressive. Thank you for the tour.

@gosmoothgolight7567 6 лет назад

P.S. Congratulations to you both on 20 years of marriage! Two awesome people who found each other ... and living an awesome life of adventure together. So happy for you both! Thanks for the UP your ... I may get back there this year. We'll see ... :)

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

thank you!

@riverrunner23 Год назад

Great video, thanks. Just ordered the Aurora 3V green canvas micarta - matte finish, from DLT. My 1st BRK.

@zRockin1 6 лет назад

Hi Brooke, I watched Dave's video before this one and it sure is cool to watch both to get to see more, thanks for sharing, Rock On!

@therealgirlinthewoods 4 года назад

yeah they're great

@natek1993 4 года назад

I Love that Pine Cone handle scales. That would look so nice on any knife.

@rorystarks6910 Год назад

I was on the fence about buying a Bark River Knife, but this video persuaded me to go for it . . . even though I have a few other fixed blade knives!

@mrmkloven6183 4 года назад

Never bought a fixed blade but I’m gonna order one today. These look nice and the lifetime spa service makes it worth the price.

@fabieneldridge3414 Год назад

Very nice knives. I’ll be getting one.

@harrysbushcrat 6 лет назад

THIS IS AWESOME!! This is the shortest 22 minutes 27 seconds of my life. Mike is so nice man. I can feel his passion, enthusiasm, and dedication to his work. I don't say it's business. That must be his life work instead of "business". The new knife that has a finger hole is very attractive to me. I should check the DTL's site out right away. Thank you for sharing this video for us.

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

yeah it was awesome to get an inside look!

@NicoleApelian 6 лет назад

I love Bark River Knives...great video!!!

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

thanks Nicole!

@yakoobjunior9631 5 лет назад

A beautiful company that makes beautiful knives. I know, because I own a Bark River Bushcrafter ll knife and love it. Buying more models through DLT Trading soon 👍

@nomadicoasis9260 6 лет назад

Wow ! so lucky to get a tour like that. thanks I like the Classy woman model with the fur top boots... If she comes with a Bravo #1 I'll take her.

@nomadicoasis9260 6 лет назад

Was just checking out how lucky I was to get a hearted comment... I see the world is blessed today. feels like it to me, coffee in the sunshine & a whole day to do what I want. :) so I didn't see the way they cut out the blanks or do the heat treating - what kind of kilns do they have ?????????? ya I'm weird like that !? who really cares why , It's not to hard to live with my self. SO I was wondering if Bushy was bright eyed enough to catch the tail end of the shop you missed ??? please say he did ! that girl with the boots looked practical... I like that . but sadly it occurred to me she may not like being Fedexed anywhere bravo #1 or no . to bad finding some one is not practical... I'd settle for a decent treasure map, but who can assure my there's love at the end. I'm going out to the shop to build a sterling silver handle for my Wok lid ! that I CAN do . see-ya Brooke.

@cavetreasures5475 6 лет назад

Bark River knives are Great!

@timwoods603 6 лет назад

Another great video guys. I know where my next knife is coming from.

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

@brandona.6337 6 лет назад

Great video guys , I’m a big fan of Barkriver knives their quality is second to none for a production knife company and I currently have a Bravo 1 field knife in my collection 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

cool thanks

@scottb.0185 5 лет назад

When I come over to the USA, I would stalk BRK’s for sure!🇦🇺

@jwo1923 4 года назад

Love watching this tour. Great information on the process of knife making. One of my brothers makes knives that he sells at flea markets around where he lives. If you ever make it to Tennessee, be sure to go to the Smoky Mountain Knife Works located in Sevierville, TN. 108,000 square feet of knives, survival gear, kitchen ware, and antiques. With a few other goodies for the kids and family. It's definitely an all day visit to see everything. The place has multi levels of awesomeness. 😉

@therealgirlinthewoods 4 года назад

cool!

@TREX3151 6 лет назад

Great video guys! I'm a big fan of BRK. Every time we go up to Marquette I have to stop at the knife shops. Look forward to your next video!

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

yeah pretty sweet!

@johntaylor346 5 лет назад

As a knife smith I found this video inspiring. Thank you for this. I love the hidden tang knives they do. I've read that they do Black jack knives so it was cool to see them on the table. My favorite knife smith is Bo Randall. Also Swamp Fox. I make knives that are a mix of the two. I like to do full flat with convex edges mirror polished. Dont like slab knives they are too cookie cutter simple. I use 01 like most Randall knives.

@Pandemos 2 года назад

His son seems in the zone, moves like a surgeon on those buffers. You can tell he's spent thousands of hours on them.

@TheJohn93226 5 лет назад

Love the shop dog as well!

@marycmcnaught 6 лет назад

Wow what a set up! Seems to be a really great company that goes the extra mile for the customer. Bet you wanted several of those knives😁

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

yep!

@bobashmore6442 6 лет назад

Awesome video Brooke, thanks. Ladies first, obviously, but now I'm heading over to "Bushy's" channel! (I see that he's not cringing every time you call him that anymore)

@RAM-002 4 года назад

The best knives.

@axerxes3981 6 лет назад

Brooke.... I thought this would be as boring as snot, but you surprised me!! Excellent video. Lots of terrific information. Just wish I could afford something like that, LOL. Thanks for sharing.... great job. BTW... nice to see you didn't get rid of Dave too. Love ya....... Ax

@therealgirlinthewoods 6 лет назад

thank you!

@gary8033 2 года назад

@guns4funcajanajustin 6 лет назад

Hey Mike what is up brother! So many to pick from. Nice tour and interview..CPM 3V all day.

@AnthonyFister 5 лет назад

Awesome! Thanks for posting this tour of BRKT factory. Bark River is one of my favorite knife manufacturers. I sharpen knives as a hobby business and I'm often asked "what knife should I buy?". Depending on what the purpose is behind the question, my BRKT knives get pulled out to show them. I am sharing this video on my business website and FB page. Apex Knife Sharpening (Apex, NC)

@therealgirlinthewoods 5 лет назад

thanks anthony!

@sarge27271 5 лет назад

Well, I can swear my next knife will be a Bark River. For some reason, always thought BR was some large faceless corp. Am I stunned?! You actually tugged at my heart strings there a bit with the Airborn Knives division deal. Very big of you. Kudos. Well, time to check out which new BRK will grace my side. Awesome story. Can't wait for the knife build vid. Thanks for the great video. Cheers

@therealgirlinthewoods 5 лет назад

thanks much i agree!
