Hi Folks, I’m sharing three large knives for those of you who like big blades, the Bark River Bravo II, Fallkniven A2 Wilderness Knife and Fallkniven Odin NL2. The specs are listed below. I’m sure whatever knife you choose will be the right one for you. Enjoy

This is a relatively new comer to my inventory. It came in a premium stainless that cleans up like a mirror. I may purchase a Kydex sheath for it in the furture.

Fallkniven A2 Wilderness Knife

LT Wright Knives still makes custom Kydex sheaths but you will need to ship the knife for a proper fit and finish. Godspeed Tactical also makes high quality Kydex sheaths. The ESEE pouch can be found at the Knife Connection. Send in everything together with specific instructions on what you want built (leather backer with belt loop, firesteel loop and accessory pouch mounted).

This knife gets very little use at all because the guard is a bit too high for me, but I will never part with it because it is built like a tank. The fit and finish is perfect.

Application/Use: these are large premium knives designed for heavy duty wilderness use. They excel in chopping, de-limbing, shelter building, splitting wood and other heavy duty bushcraft tasks. However, a high quality woodsman's axe will still out chop these knives.

JRE Industries and Skystorm Leatherworks both make high quality leather sheaths.

FYI – The build time for a custom leather sheath can be as long as 20 weeks or more.
