I have owned this knife for over a year now and taken it in the woods many times. I love it. I love the bravo line. My EDC knife is the Bravo EDC in M4. I usually use my Bravo one in 3V however, when I want an all purpose knife with me I carry My Bravo 2 in 3V.
The Bravo II in 3V has been my favorite knife for a couple years now. The factory sheath now sits on a shelf. I carry it in my modified Becker BK7 sheath as a drop leg rig. It is always on my leg if I'm in the bush. I am getting a custom leather drop leg rig made by Albion Leather with one of my JX6's in CPM-154 as a companion, Basically it is what I always wanted my Becker BK7 to be. It batons like a champ, feathersticks very well and chops well enough. The more you use it , the more you will like it
I own the Bravo edc, Bravo 1, Bravo 1.5, Bravo 2 and Bravo 3. The only one of those that is dissapointing in any way is the bravo 3 (too blade heavy, handle too small for my personal liking). The Bravo 1 and 2 are outstanding preforming knives. They are paired up in one of my camping kits as my go to hard use knives.
I love my Bushbat and my Bravo 2. My friends and I being from Texas never heard of Bark River Knives, now we can't get enough of them.Thanks for your channel and doing what you do.
Dude, you guys, as well as us in the states need to de- nut the idiots that we "allow" to represent us! I feel for you guys that gave up your rights whether your pencil was sharp lol or not!
@@LegionTacticoolCutlery Thanks to you and all the above responses, I in fact agree with everything every one of you has said. Frustrating - to live in a country where it's not possible to carry any useful form of defence!
I never understood why the bravo 2 didn't get any love either? I bought a rampless one in 3v with a spear point and it's the best knife I own hands down! Good to see you picked one of these up Chris. Great review!
Just ordered the same one... looks so good. Update... this knive it's just beginning before I'll buy Bravo 3 not smaller one. So Bravo 2 it's very good knive. Another update on this knife after more than a year ... It is so simple and balanced in proportions for me that 20 years ago in the army bayonet from AK47 there is no chance with this knife today. What pleases me about it is good weight, including kinetic strength and simplicity without any goodies weakening its design. In the hand lies perfectly and the maneuverability of the wrist has no delays or resistance. I grew up from a small age among knives when they were still the size of my elbow. It is certainly one of the few that inspires admiration in me. Ideal.
Been using one for 3 years now in 3V I love it. Now granted I lived in the desert where a 4-5 inch blade does very well even a 3" blade does the job. But in those moments when I need a bigger knife I go to the Bravo 2. I mainly use my Bravo 1 in 3V but I am considering a LT model.
Two months ago I was looking for a video of the Bravo2 from you, I was surprised you didn't had any Bravo2 videos, a month ago I pulled the trigger on a Bravo2 and surprise now you make a video and here I am with the Bravo2 watching your video of the Bravo2🤦♂️🤣
My first ever Barkie is a Bravo 2. I got it mainly for woodworking, it's basically a very light and long axe which is what I wanted. I make spoons, cups etc and this thing is perfect for getting 80-90% of the shape done. You can do some extremely precise chopping. The blade is straight so you can easily get flat surfaces and since it's long enough it works both as a push and draw knife. Since the spine has only a very shallow drop it works well as a chisel. And I really love the blade thickness since you can get all kinds of grips on the blade part without the need for gloves. Since the tip is also thick you can brace your thumb to do all kinds of heavy leaver cuts and it doesn't fatigue the finger. It's perfect for what I wanted it for. It really does replace a whole bunch of dedicated tools. It's heavy to carry on a belt, but works on an equipment belt just fine. It's not long enough to be a good trail clearing tool, it's too long and thick for most other camp tasks. It can do all those things, but it doesn't shine in anything apart from splitting wood and making anti-vampire equipment. And you also need a companion for it to do the finer tasks as it's too heavy, too long, too thick for finer tasks.
I own bravo 2 in 3v for years. This knife is so great i even retire my plsk1 by blind horse. The way its grind saber to convex makes it so easy to maintain, and edge incredibly strong. I have been using and obusing this knife extensively past 3 years , and i never even once took it to sharpening stone , i just clean it and strop it ,!!! The only thing i did to my bravo is made sheath for it. Leather sheath its come with it is not realy good, i did accidentally cut off that sequr strop right at the first time i drew it out . No big deal and all !!! I got orange plastick bucket out of walmart for $5 , some hardwer and made exelent sheath out of it, !!!! So guys Bravo 2 is only knife you ever need . Bravo 1 is a little to shert , bravo 3 is to big. Bravo 1.5 is good to but nothing can beat bravo 2.,!!!
I love it. You're right it does look like a beast, but I could see that being an excellent semi-permanent camp sort of knife. Several uses there I would think.
Hi Chris, i'm a big Bark River fan and have several. I have a 1st production run Bravo 2, it's 3/8th in thick. I have the 1.5 as well it is a more comfortable size knife.
Where I live, we have predominantly hard woods too, at least in the woods I frequent anyway. Western NY state. I have always liked big knives, so it's right up my ally. I recently bought a BK-7 and customized it too..my very own Jessica, lol. I'm loving it too. Lon Humphry did a Bravo 1 rustic..it's in 1095 though. Not that 1095 is bad, but it's not your 3v. Thanks for showing us this one..I've always wondered about it. As you said..nobody ever really talks about the 2., just the 1 and 1.25 mainly.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Bravo 1.5 & Bravo 2...such perfect survival blades that can do it all! I want the 2 more than I want dessert...and that's saying something! God bless y'all
Very good knife… for trekking… (& builds emergency shelters in a hurry). Have the model before that one… wee thinner stock & not as big “assed”. Hanging from the belt, it still “docks” into the jeans pocket: easy to sit & ride in the pick-up with it on.
I've had my Bravo 1.5 for years, and it's still one of my favorite knives that I own. I actually just recently bought another 1.5 with orange handle scales and the new sheath. I've also been considering the Bravo 2 and I think you just pushed me in the direction of getting it.
This is a a great camping/ 1 day hike knife, paired with a folding knife it covers all my tasks in a day, normally id do a bigass chopper like a jx5 paired with a folding saw and mora kansbol but if i had to carry one blade this would be it purely because its a high end bk7 more or less. My bk7 has gone above and beyond covering all sorts of tasks in one packagaes even though that style of knife iant popular anymore i still love it. The bravo 2 fills the same bill, plus its a batoning monster.
I have had my Bravo 1.5 for about 2 year and that is the knife I often bring when I am in the woods. Together with my little Bravo EDC, the two are a very good couple that solves most of the challenges one faces.
I agree the B1LT is a great knife. Problem with the B2 is the blade is too narrow. The Survivor looks better in that respect, but it has that long swedge. What I'd like to see is is a Survivor with some taper in the primary grind, and no swedge.
I love my Bravo III but I believe mine has A2 steel (it's a few years old). It is the closest design to the true Jim Bowie knife design from the sand bar fight. Really one of the only true mountain worthy knives. Good luck with yours sir Thanks for this post, really enjoyed it Best wishes
I have the bravo 1.5 ramp-less, and I have always wanted a bravo 2. Where I live in KY. This particular knife could be carried with a Mora while leaving the tomahawk and folding saw at home for long trek camping...also a perfect secondary weapon in the forest because --well, it will never run out of bullets.... : )
I asked Mike Stewart about a LT version he said buy a recon. I like the shape of the bravo 2 way more than the recon. Maybe put in a request at DLT they might be able to make an LT happen.
I really want this knife. I guess people got the message since you did this video because I don’t see it available anywhere. For now I will “settle” for the Aurora II
I think the ramp on the Bravo 2 looks better than on the shorter knives... I have a Bravo 1 with no ramp and love it... Bark River makes excellent knives... Even a Buckeye would approve...
I have been carrying a bravo edc in elmax everyday.. I just bought the bravo 1.5 in 3v and I'm loving it. I think the bravo 2 would be just too big for me to carry everyday. I sanded the polish bark river put on the handles off of both the handles and it's so much better for grip.
I like this knife. I've been looking at some of the TOPS knives in the .25 blade width and I'm still not convinced a Buck General couldn't do the same job. Your take?
You should try to get Ethan Becker and Bark River to start producing CPM 3V versions of the BK7 and BK9... maybe the BK16 and bring back the BK1 too. That way, Kabar can produce the classic models and Bark River can provide a higher end option. If I'm not mistaken, Mike Stewart made the original prototype becker's for Blackjack knives. I know I'd buy then as Becker's are still my go to over the new super steel knives (and I own quite a few cpm 3v, s30v, s35vn, m4, Z-Wear PM, etc) because of how great the work.
I have to be honest here Chris,I carry the JX5 on my belt,and the Bravo2 is my backup knife.I love them both,but the JX5 is the more versatile of the 2.
Its a nice blade man. But in the same sorts category id pick the tope recon any day. a B2 LT would basically be a tope recon just shaped differently. Good stuff man!!!
Enjoyed the video. I’d like to see a video on the cold steel trailmaster in 01 steel. I already have one but it would be interesting to get your take on it.
Hey a big fan I live in west Virginia I stay out on the mountain sides 2to3months at a time all I have is tramontina machete I cut it down and Wilson wrapped it like yours and I got east wing hatchet my bk9 got stolen my wish list 1day is another bk9 ,condor bushcraft parang and tops msk skullcrusher and a small mora I'm trying to save for it sucks around here for steady work any way a big fan
LOL, 13:30 Magic Fire Trees, And I complain about all the resin-saturated wood that covers you in pitch to you when you get within a foot of it. Maybe great for getting a fire started; Blows for sitting around a campfire and it's all you have to burn.
Thank you for another great review! Nice knife, I bought one recently. But really don't know what to do with it rather than play... like you said I'm not planning to go to the middle of nowhere with one knife only :) I watched most of your videos, but you never gave an opinion on different grinds. It would be very interesting to know what do you think, and how do you compare them. For instance, what is good about convex? Mike Stewart says it supports carbides, but none of my friends metallurgists know what's the hell does it mean. I'm too shy to ask Mike, probably he won't answer me :)
I do like it but the blad needs to be wider another 1/2" or 1" and than the possibility of it being a mad chopper would come to light. Plus with that added width they could fine tune its geometry to match the abilities of the bravo 1. But im no knife maker just a dreamer.
1.5" wide blade??? I agree maybe go up to 0.35" or something just a little bit more weight but with a skilled chop you could probably split wood ass is if the wood wasn't too big.
I absolutely love the BK9. How can I get Bark River to sponsor me so I can get one of those to do a review on my small channel? Come on Chris, hook it up.
wow that is a nice piece of steel A kabar gone ballistic it will do anything enjoy Now what performance does this knife give you that you don’t already have from the Crusader
@Eye of the Tiger yeah i really like the look of how it molds to your hands. Nah not at all im from Tasmania so its not humid at all. Id like to get it in Elmax steel if i can
I don't have a Bravo II, it's on my list. The Bravo 3 and 1.5 lt will come first. my Bravo 1.5 seems to have a small handle, is the bravo 2 handle larger? My fav Bravo is the 1.25 LT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo 1.5 the edge is too thick, it starts biting at 35 degrees, and the other side bites at 15 degrees, and my skanvie edge is like a chisel, bites at 0 1 or 2 degrees
Like it but can't afford to get every BRK that I like. With how little I get out into the woods, would have to stick with my JX5 as my larger knife. ;)
Why don't you do a video showing people how to use the snap on bark river sheaths? I see this all the time on the facebook page about people not being able to snap there sheaths for the first time.
I have owned this knife for over a year now and taken it in the woods many times. I love it. I love the bravo line. My EDC knife is the Bravo EDC in M4. I usually use my Bravo one in 3V however, when I want an all purpose knife with me I carry My Bravo 2 in 3V.

Would love to have this knife but I am from the UK and I'm already in prison for having a sharpened pencil!!
Dude, you guys, as well as us in the states need to de- nut the idiots that we "allow" to represent us! I feel for you guys that gave up your rights whether your pencil was sharp lol or not!
Damn... that’s even worse than the laws in Germany... and you liberated us
All political leaders should hang. Corrupt cock suckers.
@@LegionTacticoolCutlery Thanks to you and all the above responses, I in fact agree with everything every one of you has said.
Frustrating - to live in a country where it's not possible to carry any useful form of defence!
You managed to sharpen a ✏️ I can't even buy a pencil anymore.
I never understood why the bravo 2 didn't get any love either? I bought a rampless one in 3v with a spear point and it's the best knife I own hands down! Good to see you picked one of these up Chris. Great review!

Bravo 1.5 is good to but nothing can beat bravo 2.,!!!
I love it. You're right it does look like a beast, but I could see that being an excellent semi-permanent camp sort of knife. Several uses there I would think.
First rule of the Bravo 2 Club: You do not talk about the Bravo 2. See, here I am NOT talking about the Bravo 2.
Hi Chris, i'm a big Bark River fan and have several. I have a 1st production run Bravo 2, it's 3/8th in thick. I have the 1.5 as well it is a more comfortable size knife.
still my favorite 7 inch blade thus far. for fire prep its awesome to say these least !!!
That was my first Bark River. I wanted a big do anything blade. I love it. Have added the Bravo EDC and the JX4 to my collection. Great video Chris.
Just my opinion, but hatchets are mostly for chopping. $300 knives-not so much. I want one anyway.
Got one and love it.
very nice kitchen knife that you can take to the woods. Really like it
The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it looked like a sleeker, better-looking BK7.
The survivor looks dead on a bk7
Where I live, we have predominantly hard woods too, at least in the woods I frequent anyway. Western NY state. I have always liked big knives, so it's right up my ally. I recently bought a BK-7 and customized it too..my very own Jessica, lol. I'm loving it too. Lon Humphry did a Bravo 1 rustic..it's in 1095 though. Not that 1095 is bad, but it's not your 3v.

So funny, I wondered the same thing some years ago. Bravo 1 is great the 2 looks a bit big but a must have
This is a a great camping/ 1 day hike knife, paired with a folding knife it covers all my tasks in a day, normally id do a bigass chopper like a jx5 paired with a folding saw and mora kansbol but if i had to carry one blade this would be it purely because its a high end bk7 more or less.

The bravo 2 fills the same bill, plus its a batoning monster.
I got myself the Fallkniven A1X, same thing, an absolute beast.
According to Mike Stewart, the reason for the Bravo design and blade thickness was that it was originally intended for Marine Recon.
Didn't know that, thank you.
can you make a Fällkniven A1 VS Bark River Bravo 2 video/review?
I have had my Bravo 1.5 for about 2 year and that is the knife I often bring when I am in the woods. Together with my little Bravo EDC, the two are a very good couple that solves most of the challenges one faces.
Just ordered one on your review.
I think the longer one makes more sense. Original was always too thick for me but thickness makes more sense in a big f*ck off configuration
Oddly enough the 2 is my primary choice of BRK Blades....
I agree the B1LT is a great knife. Problem with the B2 is the blade is too narrow. The Survivor looks better in that respect, but it has that long swedge. What I'd like to see is is a Survivor with some taper in the primary grind, and no swedge.

Yessss. The GEN 2 bravo 2. Pretty much a redesigned handle. I picked one up in green canvas micarta matte. Amazing handle.
I asked Mike Stewart about a LT version he said buy a recon. I like the shape of the bravo 2 way more than the recon. Maybe put in a request at DLT they might be able to make an LT happen.
I really want this knife. I guess people got the message since you did this video because I don’t see it available anywhere. For now I will “settle” for the Aurora II
The Bravo 1.5 I just purchased is as big a knife as I would ever carry. It’s crazy thick blade in CPM 3 V is stout enough!
Great now I gotta get a Bravo 2 in 3V!
I love the look of this knife, but it doesn't seem to be that sharp, is that because the wood you used is super hard.
I had my ramp removed at BR. They also sharpened the spine . It is so much better.
No one talks about the Bark River Recondo either, but hell, bought one anyway, be here tomorrow.
I like my bravo 2 as a quick chopper, just small jobs. Will feather stick but I agree with the video, I never have just one knife...
Perfect timing!! Thanks brother for your insight...all weekend I’ve been thinking about picking one up!
I think the ramp on the Bravo 2 looks better than on the shorter knives... I have a Bravo 1 with no ramp and love it... Bark River makes excellent knives... Even a Buckeye would approve...

Thanks for this review, Chris, I have exactly the same questions about Bravo II. The sheath is oiled by you?
Awesome review Chris!!!
Bravo 1.5 is made for slicing, so a slicing edge is good, and this 1.5 I got is like my carving axe
Those convex grinds they do are just amazing. Look at those feathers.
I have to be honest here Chris,I carry the JX5 on my belt,and the Bravo2 is my backup knife.I love them both,but the JX5 is the more versatile of the 2.
Its a nice blade man. But in the same sorts category id pick the tope recon any day. a B2 LT would basically be a tope recon just shaped differently. Good stuff man!!!
You are doing great. I think your better at bush crafty stuff than you realize.
Enjoyed the video. I’d like to see a video on the cold steel trailmaster in 01 steel. I already have one but it would be interesting to get your take on it.
Agree also would like to know whats Chris opinion about one but he kinda dont like full flat grind .... Maybe he will review one
Hey a big fan I live in west Virginia I stay out on the mountain sides 2to3months at a time all I have is tramontina machete I cut it down and Wilson wrapped it like yours and I got east wing hatchet my bk9 got stolen my wish list 1day is another bk9 ,condor bushcraft parang and tops msk skullcrusher and a small mora I'm trying to save for it sucks around here for steady work any way a big fan
Bravo 2 was my first BRK!!! Lg survival knife no doubt
I progressed to the STS 7.5. Just like u were saying it's slightly thinner/lighter for most tasks when u dont want the beast Bravo 2
I got one too I like it..If you want a lt VERTION get a Aroura 3. It's awsome too.
Great Review ! if I had only KINFE that would be a LIGHT SABER ?
Thanks for the reviw/impressions, not much out there on this its true.
I dig it. Sold mine though. Kept the bravo recon as my "one knifes only evers" knife.
Iirc there was talk of an lt version. Not sure if they were going to make it or not but I think they were going to, eventually
I love big knives
My latest is the Raptor
.285 thick 18 inch knife full tang 3 inch top to edge
If we could get BR in Australia it would be great
LOL, 13:30 Magic Fire Trees, And I complain about all the resin-saturated wood that covers you in pitch to you when you get within a foot of it. Maybe great for getting a fire started; Blows for sitting around a campfire and it's all you have to burn.
I can't chip carve very easy though, I'm fixing the edge issue though, has surrounded over kind of,
Thank you for another great review! Nice knife, I bought one recently.

1.5" wide blade??? I agree maybe go up to 0.35" or something just a little bit more weight but with a skilled chop you could probably split wood ass is if the wood wasn't too big.
I have the Tope recon bravo1 LT and gunny. Would rather have the tope then the 2 or 3. Tope is light and can chop well.
Been asking Mike Stewart for 2 years for a bravo 2lt in stainless like cpm154
I absolutely love the BK9. How can I get Bark River to sponsor me so I can get one of those to do a review on my small channel? Come on Chris, hook it up.
Price and blade thickness. I can't see what's this knife good for. But it looks beautiful.
LIST your favorite 3 knives of all time... and make a video about it!!!!
Best knife they make
Bark River just makes good knives.
Also a blade is a little thicker then the gen 1 bravo 2
wow
that is a nice piece of steel
A kabar gone ballistic
it will do anything
enjoy
Now what performance does this knife give you that you don’t already have from the Crusader
I really want to get a bark river knife, so expensive to get them in Australia though :(
Yeah i got the same knife 2 weeks ago it is expensive to get one here
@Eye of the Tiger awesome bro i have my eye on the bark river adventurer series hoping for a black Friday deal
@Eye of the Tiger yeah i really like the look of how it molds to your hands. Nah not at all im from Tasmania so its not humid at all. Id like to get it in Elmax steel if i can
@Eye of the Tiger thanks mate
What a beast. Looks like you could punch a hole in a Tiger Tank with that thing.
I don't have a Bravo II, it's on my list. The Bravo 3 and 1.5 lt will come first.
my Bravo 1.5 seems to have a small handle, is the bravo 2 handle larger?
My fav Bravo is the 1.25 LT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo 1.5 the edge is too thick, it starts biting at 35 degrees, and the other side bites at 15 degrees, and my skanvie edge is like a chisel, bites at 0 1 or 2 degrees
Love that knife !!
Like it but can't afford to get every BRK that I like. With how little I get out into the woods, would have to stick with my JX5 as my larger knife. ;)
Good knife for a giveaway 😉
Thanks for the info bro.
I was gonna order one until
I saw the sheath
I consider this a small heavy knife/splitter
Здравствуйте оставьте пожалуйста ссылку на этот замечательный нож. С уважением.
Why don't you do a video showing people how to use the snap on bark river sheaths? I see this all the time on the facebook page about people not being able to snap there sheaths for the first time.
I love my bk 7
Been trying to get mike Stewart on board about a bravo 2lt in cpm154
Chris, do the TOPS CAMP CREEK.
Nice big knife! :)
I like it ,just like my Bravo 1
I love the bravo 2 .it's the cost that stops my purchase.
It's a nice looking blade
