Bow River distributor exclusive
Bow River distributor exclusive
Just saw this on KiethKevinKen's IG page...looks like a green g10 handle with black oxide or satin 8cr blade. A Blue Ridge Knives distributor exclusive.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I love the green handles! Also really interesting to see screw construction.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
Wow I didn't notice that! I wonder if they're planning to release other handle options, or if someone like Halpern might make them. That'd be great!

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I think there was talk about exclusives coming around when the bow river released, good to see em’ coming to fruition. Is this the first exclusive to come out of china? I can’t remember any others.
Lightly insane.

It definitely opens up the possibility for custom scales! :cool:
There have been a lot of Tenacious exclusives as well as numerous Efficient exclusives.Abyss_Fish wrote: I think there was talk about exclusives coming around when the bow river released, good to see em’ coming to fruition.

It might be the first fixed blade exclusive though.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
Count me in! I like those scales and screw construction. Getting some coating on that 8Cr13MoV will be great.
Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
Just saw this too and came here to post about it. They look good but, since I gave one away and still haven't used my first one I don't think I'll be buying another one. If they were BD1N or some other steel maybe
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I think Julia was just assuming it's DLC. Could be TiCN

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
Yeah, for sure. Sorry, I should've just said "black blade." Could be TiCN or some other coating.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
That's a nice looking knife! Anybody that has one, would it make for a good kitchen knife or is it kind of on the thicker side? (I know I could look this up, but I'm already mid post :) )

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
It's fairly thin, not as thin as my Japanese knives, but totally thin enough; I use one as a utility knife in the kitchen regularly. I like the blade shape more and more over time. I have a South Fork as well, but don't prefer the belly on the SF as much as the more gradual curve of the Bow River.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I use mine in the kitchen and for camping food prep. It does well. The blade isn't super thick and slices well. It's not as slicey as the Z-Cuts but it's less flexible than those so it works well for cuts that need a little more force. The handle shape works well in that application too (IMO).
Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I'm a sucker for that color combo. Gonna have to grab the DLC green one.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I'm a little offended that the Bow River saw a screw construction update before the Manix LW did

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
I've used mine plenty for cutting and prepping mushrooms. It's definitely not as thin as a Shun, but I've loved mine.

Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
Anybody know what dealers will have these?
Re: Bow River distributor exclusive
In for the screwed version for sure! I can't wait to build some scales for them. :)
