    I like the smaller knives. It’s a folder with no moving parts to break. I got a ULB for Christmas 😀🕺🏻. Hard to get used to convex. I would like to have this knife. Moved over to small axe/ hatchet for most of the work so the smaller knives are just more practical for notches and carving

    Of course that is only 1095 and not nearly as fancy.
    I dig the BRK. Would be cool to see then side by side. Im guessing they are probably close to the same size all around.

  • @markjg2275
    @markjg2275 5 років тому

    I wish Bark river would make more rounded edges on many of their handles they are too flat and seem uncomfortable for using during long cutting use. Lt Wright makes the Patriot similar to this knife size but at least it has a nice rounded handle. The LT Wright Frontier Valley is my favorite small knife. Though this PSK Elmax would make a good backup knife or neck knife to a large fixed blade for smaller cutting chores and it is better than any folding knife.

    The prices of these small knives are downright exaggerated it would be nice if BRK goes down a bit of their little cloud, they do not make jewels, it's just knives and the smaller they are the more expensive they are.
