Thanks!
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

I think the broad arrow mark indicates British military acceptance.

Nice Charlie.
This is a Bark River Marauder Compaion made in Escanaba, Michigan by Bark River Knives. Bark River makes some outstanding knives. This one has a Blue Corn Silk handle with Blue Glow and carbon fiber spacers. The last picture shows that Blue Glow spacer in low light. Shown with s couple of my Olight Marauder Series Flashlights. Seemed appropriate.

I only have a few Bark River knives and wish I had more.
This one is one of my favorite patterns done right by Bark River, The Fingerling.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Bark River makes fine knives. That one above from Sasquatch is a direct takeoff from the old Schrade Sharpfinger. A very popular pattern over the years. And the next post by Rob shows a Barkie that I would have sworn was a Randall at first glance! All great knives. That blue light (I mean handle) special is a real looker, too.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I don't have a lot of fixed blade knives that qualify as "purty". Most of mine are plain knives but these two always get second looks.

I can't quite make out the name on your custom sharpfinger but it is certainly purty.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Does anyone have any information on this knife.
Looks middle eastern to me.
7in. blade, 11.25 overall.
The handle is horn and maybe ivory, if not ivory, natural bone.
The sheath is copper.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I like this knife. I wish I had kept all the Bark River knives I’ve sold off over the years. This is a gorgeous looking knife. I am going to have to look into that particular model.hardman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2026 11:31 pm Nice Charlie.
