I'm pretty sure you are the only one that leapt to that conclusion.You mean the response in which I quoted in my post...
All I am saying is making a big detailed post on how you received a product that was not to your liking before giving the company proper time to fix the situation makes the company look bad for people who are possibly going to buy from them in the future. People make threads all the time here in which they receive something not to their liking and when asked have not even gone through the company's customer service to remedy the situation. Its like if I ordered something at a restaurant and it did not come out right so I told the waitress, and before she could have me brought out something else/talk to cook I started showing other people sitting down what was wrong with my food. I have no stake in either company, or own any of their products either. Just doesnt seem like the moral thing to do.
True enough.Because unless you really research it to see the reviews and learn about the ongoing problems, you just don't know about the history. I'm sure most people see a knives that are priced right along with BHK, LTW, etc... and assume they are of comparable quality.
Remember, BFC members are a small microcosm of the knife-buying world. I'd bet that even plenty of BFC members aren't savvy to the BRK's problematic history.
This is accurate. Thank you. I’ve been posting questions throughout the thread, but people seem to prefer bickering amongst themselves.I'm pretty sure you are the only one that leapt to that conclusion.
Also your scenario isn't accurate. He's not bashing anything. It's more like if he was trying a new food for the first time and the food came out smelling funky so he decided to ask people around him if they've ever had that food and if the smell was normal.
Not throwing a fit, not making a scene, just asking for information from people with more knowledge on the subject.... Which is a big part of why forums exist.
Unfortunately, after looking up what others have suggested, I still like the appearance, dimensions, and specs of the Gunny more. Convex, 3V, around 4”, for bushcrafting. What reputable custom knife company can you recommend?
I’m assuming that based off everyone’s reactions, that 3V should not be rusting the way my knife is. What will cause a 3V blade to rust normally then? Do I need to worry about rust if I were caught in the rain and got the knife and sheath soaked on a week-long camping trip? That would be a common scenario. Will the salty ocean air corrode a 3V blade if I were to take it sailing?
I assure you knives ship free is not affected by this. They are stand up company and has resolved customer issues. Nor does it seem like the op was bashing them either. This problem is brkYou mean the response in which I quoted in my post...

I have a weird fixation on convex edges, but I’ll look into your recommendation in more detail. Thanks, 91bravo.Why are LT Wright knives ruled out? The one I posted earlier is a great knife in real 3V!
Recommendations so far:This is accurate. Thank you. I’ve been posting questions throughout the thread, but people seem to prefer bickering amongst themselves.
I’m quoting myself below and am still looking for recommendations based on my criteria and still have open questions regarding 3V steel.
Thanks, all.

I'm fairly new to the bf, and I don't see any signs of a conspiracy against BRK or MS
Not very difficult to convex a saber ground LT Wright blade! I have an Outback JJ_Colt45 sent me to try out and it's excellent! He may have a hard time getting it back from me...
That's my take on this whole deal. The knife needs to be replaced by BRKT. This goes beyond warranty....3v done half right won't do what is in the OP. So that begs the question....Is it 3v done poorly or is it not 3v? Which is worse? I'm betting it is A2. Very good steel but you should get what you pay for.
So at least the two BRK knives I have: the bravo LT and the aurora LT, one simply cannot deny the design is genius and those two knives can compete with anything on the market for a bushcraft knife. Even if one doesn't like the owner and even if there are 100 posts from ghosts bashing the company.
I have a HDFK and I think it's a great design, especially the contoured micarta grips. What puts the BRK over the HDFK?
