Anyone own one or use one? 3v is my favorite steel and the LT Wright GNS is my go to knife, but I was intrigued by the thinness of this blade. My only concern was that on a lot of the images the knife doesn't have much of a point, which I use a lot to remove slivers, poke holes, etc.

Not much traffic here in this group, so I hope you get a response.
Bark River seems to have a good reputation.
That's almost what I'd call a spear point might make a good Rendezvous knife - with a fancy handle.
It looks like it would serve you well.

Karl,
Thanks for your response. I had to look up Rendezvous knife. Don't know if you mean mountain man or throwing knife, but I imagine the first. I agree with you on the spear point. Bark River lists it as a drop point, which I can't see. Never used a spear point, but it just doesn't look as useful as a drop point. Hopefully someone who has used one will chime in.

I own this same knife with the only difference being black micarta scales. Really like the knife and find it pointy enough for my uses. I can clean fish with it and it is slicey which helps with cooking chores. I do not baton with it. The spine works well for using a fire steel to start a fire. My only complaint, is not the knife, but the sheath. It is OK. Mine did not come with a fire steel loop and it does not have a dangling loop which helps when sitting in a canoe. Otherwise, very nice knife.
