The **Bark River PSK**

  **is a practical fixed EDC knife. The PSK is namely one of the smallest Bark River knives on the market. Because of the compact and small size the PSK can easily be carried in your pocket or around your neck as a neck knife. However, don't let its size mislead you. The edge is incredibly sharp and with the finger groove you have a lot of grip over the knife. Bark River definitely called the PSK, personal survival knife for a reason. This knife is namely made to always carry with you. As such you will always have a knife at the ready during unexpected emergencies. Incredibly practical!** 

**The blade is made from Böhler Elmax steel. An incredibly stainless type of steel that retains its sharpness well. A type of ultimate combination of the wear resistance of carbon with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The edge has been enhanced with a convex grind which you can maintain by stropping it.**

 **The handle is made from Desert Ironwood. A type of hardwood mainly found in the United States and Mexico. Characterizing is the beautiful colour and the rich pattern. This stunning type of wood makes the knife look extra luxurious.**

 **The Bark River Bravo PSK comes with a leather belt sheath (max. belt width 5.0 cm). The sheath is designed as such that you can also comfortably carry it in your pocket.**

 **Bark River makes all of its knives almost completely by hand. As such each knife is unique. Especially when you are working with natural materials a knife can differ from the photographs. 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.**

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

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.

Cutting edge length

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.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
