Survival Common Sense: UP Bravo Grail knife improved – Elk antler re-handle

Survival Common Sense: UP Bravo Grail knife improved – Elk antler re-handle

I cannot stop tweaking hunting knife designs. There is no reason for it – several of my knives are the epitome of blades that will work for me.  But cutlery enthusiasts are never satisfied, and we are always looking for that perfect blade/handle combination.

Here’s my reasoning: Knife handles have to be made to fit the largest number of potential users – i.e. the average person. No knife handle is perfect for everyone. Here are some ways to measure your hand for the best handle fit. 

For several years I used an Ambush Tundra, with a custom Pete Winkler antique walnut handle, for most of my deer and elk hunting. I ‘d never need another hunting knife.

Then the Bark River UP (Upper Peninsula) series was released. For a couple of years, I had lobbied for a knife combination Canadian-style blade/Bark River Bravo handle. I might have had a minuscule influence in that design – suggesting, then further whining, begging and sniveling may have helped.  Regardless, the UP Bravo and UP Gunny are for me the epitome of useful hunting/bushcraft/survival knives.

Leon gives us a tip of the hat within. Thank you sir.
