Typically, I carry a Buck lockblade for trail riding and barn chores, but I thought it might be more convenient to carry a small fixed blade. I decided this little guy might just do the trick. 6.65" OAL, 2.9" blade, African Blackwood scales.

Thanks for looking! smile

nice looking knife. I find it interesting that it has the exposed tang with the loop and a tube for a wrist thong also.
It should be able to perform most any chore

I'm not sure why there are two options, Peter. I like the tang loop, because it keeps the thong off of the handle.

Thanks James. It might be a good knife for the Grand Canyon mule ride, since there is a weight limit. smile

Nice knife Tom.

Bark River makes some excellent small fixed blade knives. I've had their Nomad Hunter model for a couple of years, and, while I only used it once, found it perfect for handling camping chores. Great size, and, as a bonus, legal to carry in NYC. Here's a quick photo and the knife details.

Nomad Fixed Blade Hunting Knife
-Blade: 3.775” A2 tool steel in clip point profile. Stamped/etched “Bark River Knives Escanaba MI A2” and, on other side, “First Production Run”.
-Handle: Desert Ironwood. Nickel silver single guard. Aluminum butt cap with wrist thong.
-OAL: 7.75”
-Sheath: Brown leather belt sheath.

I agree, Bark River has some really nicely made knives. I have a couple in my collection.
