Woodland Special
This is my first Bark River knife - Woodland Special Black & Green Linen - Solid Pins: Blade Steel: A-2 Tool Steel Hardness: 59-60RC Blade Thickness: .170 inches Blade Length: 3 inches Overall Length: 6.8 inches Weight: 3.2 ounces I am impressed with the quality and stoutness of this small knife. It just feels right in my hand. So far I only tried to peel some oranges -- it cuts through them like it's butter - even the seeds are split in half without any tear. I've worn it on my belt for few hours and you can't even feel it - the sheath is perfect - riding just high enough for my taste with knife placed very close to the body. This knife features Convex Grind there's a special way of sharpening such a blade so be sure to read through an FAQ link found here: Knife Maintenance And Sharpening Tips I purchased it from http://www.knivesshipfree.com - the service was top notch! Derrick is a pleasure to work with.
