Knives Of Alaska?

Can anyone tell me anything about the quality of these knives? I like the D2 tool steel and a couple of the larger fixed blades. I need one for camping this fall. Bonehead

Bonehead,

I'd would ask how "thick " the blade is !!!!! Seems to me from what I read on their website the blades are .100 " thick. This is about 3/32 of an inch. To me that is not too thick of a blade that would hold up under a number of camping / hunting uses.

Just my opinion !!!

Well, after reading some more and getting a little more educated on the subject .... Bark River Knives are about .156 " thick. Which makes the Bark River Knives 1/2 again as thick as the Knives of Alaska. Much easier for me to visualize 1/16 , 1/4 or whatever vs. 1/10 of an inch.

Id say the quality is so so...
The only one I have has rubber handles attached to a slightly warped (very thin) blade. I returned to the store and looked for a straight one... They were all warped.

Bonehead,
Dean mentioned the Bark River knvies in his post. You might want to take a look at some of their knives if you are in the market for a good fixed blade. I'm very impressed with the two I have. (Bravo 1 and Gunny models )

Thank you all for the insight. I do want a camping knife but also american made. Sounds like Bark River exploration

Thank you kindly, Bonehead

Mike Stewart @ Bark River knives is making some of the best fixed blades for the
price range out there. When he was at Marble's from 1997-2002, they made some of the best knives
in their 110 yr history.
I have some of them in my store with 52/100 bladesteel, very top shelf steel
Check em out, you cannot go wrong with a "Barkie" tho
Good luck on your hunt

No matter where Mike Stewart goes, from Pacific to Blackjack to Marbles to Bark River, GREAT knives go along with him.

I already have several Effingham Blackjacks and a couple of Gladstone Marbles, all from the Mike Stewart years. Now I'm saving my pennies for a Bark River Gunny or maybe Bravo-1
.

Jerry those are the two Bark River models I own. I don't think you'll be disappointed with either one.

I can also vouch for the Bravo-1, as well as the Northstar - a great bushcraft style knife.

You can't go wrong with Bark River.

My only comment about "Knives of Alaska" is they ain't from Alaska!

Agree wholeheartedly that Bark River makes the best fixed blades. You can’t go wrong w/ any knife you get from them. These are “lifetime” knives, meaning that these will last a lifetime and then some. You can never go wrong buying the best quality that you can afford.
