Bark River Gunny Hunter CPM S45VN, Black Canvas Micarta hunting knife

The Bark River Gunny Hunter is a compacter version of the Bravo 1. Originally this knife was designed for (para)military use. Soon, however, it became evident that this knife was capable of a whole lot more. Today the Gunny is a popular knife amongst bushcraft enthusiasts and hunters. It is solidly constructed with enough blade thickness for the more demanding tasks. At the same time it is light enough for hikes. A perfect knife that can be used for many purposes. This special Hunter version of the Gunny is enhanced with a Saber grind. This means the grind is different from the one on the regular Gunny. The Hunter is slightly thinner behind the edge and therefore better suited for camping tasks and hunting purposes. The Gunny Hunter also doesn’t have jimping or a thumb ramp.
The blade is made from CPM S45VN. A premium type of stainless steel that retains its sharpness well. As you might expect from Bark River the knife is razor-sharp. The edge has been enhanced with a convex grind which you can maintain by [stropping it](/en/ct/stropping.htm).
The handle is made from canvas micarta. A strong and light-weight material, made from linen and synthetic resin. Feels comfortable in hand, even in wet or cold circumstances.
The Bark River Gunny Hunter comes with a leather belt sheath (max. belt width 5.0 cm).
Bark River makes all of its knives almost completely by hand. As such each knife is unique. Especially when working with natural materials a knife can differ from the photographs. The knife you receive can therefore be subtly different from the product photos. The model and type of material, however, will always be the same.
