Seems the older you get, firsts happen less and less. Well I got two firsts in one shot...

1) My first Bark River
2) My first blade in A2

Really nice knife, jury's still out on the steel.

Bark rivers A-2 is a great steel! I have a few Barkies. A Gunny, a City Knife, a Jx-6, and a PSK EDC.

Three Barkies in A2 here. Love ‘em. Blades touch-up very easily.

I blued the A2 on my Bark River, that steel seemed to want to rust/stain very easily.
