Bark River Handy Hunter A2 ~Desert Ironwood #5 ~"First Production Run" 2021
Specifications and Materials
The 2021 production run utilized A2 tool steel, known for its extreme toughness and ease of sharpening in the field.
- Blade Steel: A2 Tool Steel hardened to 58-60 HRC.
- Blade Dimensions: According to Bark River Knives, the blade is 3.98 inches long and a robust .217 inches thick, significantly thicker than standard hunting knives.
- Overall Length: The knife measures 8.5 inches total.
- Weight: It weighs approximately 5.7 ounces.
- Handle Material: Desert Ironwood #2, a dense hardwood from the US and Mexico prized for its rich color and unique grain patterns.
- Grind: Features a convex grind, which Bark River notes provides a balance between cutting resistance and edge strength.
Key Features
