The **Bark River Bravo 2 Burgundy Canvas Micarta** was designed for military use, specifically for the United States' Marine Corps. Soon, however, it became clear that this knife could do so much more. Today, the Bravo 1 is a beloved knife amongst bushcraft enthusiasts and hunters. It has a rock-solid construction, with enough blade thickness for heavy-duty tasks. Perfect for woodworking, gutting game and many other outdoor tasks. This is the bigger version of the original Bravo 1. The blade of the 2 is 18 cm long. This is the only difference, the position of the thumb ramp and the handle are the same.

On the spine of the blade you find the so-called ramp, a small protrusion with serrations on one side. Intuitively, the ramp appears to be a little too far back for natural placement of the thumb. However, you are meant to place your thumb just in front of the ramp. This makes it easier to apply force during tasks that require greater precision. The serrated edge of the ramp is shaped in such a way that producing sparks with a firesteel becomes a piece of cake.

The blade is made from CPM 3V steel. This is a type of tool steel that is known for its exceptional strength. It won't break and will retain its sharpness well. You do need to be careful with moisture and acids: CPM 3V is not completely stainless. Make sure to clean the knife after use and occasionally apply a drop of oil to keep it in great shape. The edge has been enhanced with a convex grind which you can maintain by [stropping it](/en/ct/stropping.htm).

The handle is made from canvas micarta. This is a strong and light-weight material, made from linen and synthetic resin. It feels comfortable in hand, even in wet or cold circumstances.

The Bark River Bravo 2 comes with a leather belt sheath. It can also be worn horizontally.

Bark River Knives makes all of their knives almost entirely by hand. As a result, each knife is unique. Especially when working with natural materials, a knife will have a unique look. The knife you receive can therefore be subtly different from the product photos. The model and type of material, however, will always be the same.

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.
