    Well, i was on the prowl for a Bark River Bravo 2 but i couldnt find one that i liked.
    But i found these two instead at a discount.

    A Bravo 1.25 bone white micarta with black liners and a Gunny Hunter green canvas micarta. Both in cpm 3v steel.
    Cuttning nothing but paper and dry handling yet, i actually think the 1.25 became my favorit knife. As for now atleast.

    Unfortunately, my iphone camera dont pick up the colors right, but yeah..they are nice. My hope is that the white micarta will pick up some patina over time.

    Im sure they will serve me well for years and years to come.
    I still feel i need a Bravo 2 though. That one will be in A2 steel. Need to try that.
    But who knows, maybe i get to try that A2 steel with these two already:D

    I bet it won't take very long! Based on how quickly my green and black micarta has darkened, I would assume the white would be even quicker.

    Yeah, as a hunter, there will be blood involved in the process.
    When i saw it, it reminded me of a knife with white micarta my dad used to have.
