Weight: 150 grams


The **Bark River Gunny Hunter** is a compacter version of the Bravo 1. Originally this knife was designed for (para)military use, specifically for the U.S. Marine Corps. Soon, however, it became evident that this knife can be used for so much more purposes. Throughout the years the Bravo 1 LT even became a popular knife amongst bushcrafters and hunters. It has a solid construction and a thick enough blade for heavy-duty tasks. At the same time it is light enough for hikes. An ideal knife you can use for many things. This special Hunter edition of the Gunny has been enhanced with a *Saber Grind*. This means that the grind is slightly different from the grind on the regular Gunny. The Hunter is slightly thinner behind the edge making it the perfect knife for camping tasks and hunting purposes. In addition, the Gunny Hunter does not have a jimping or a *thumb ramp*.


The blade is made from Böhler Elmax steel. An extremely stainless type of steel which retains its sharpness well. It is the ultimate combination of the abrasion-resistance of carbon steel with the corrosion resistant aspect of a stainless type of steel. The edge has a convex grind which you can keep in great shape by [stropping it](/en/ct/stropping.htm).


The handle is made from Desert Ironwood. A type of hardwood often found in the United States and Mexico. Characterizing is the lovely colour with the rich patterns. This attractive type of wood makes the knife look extra luxurious.


The Bark River Gunny Hunter comes with a leather belt sheath (max. belt width 5.0 cm).


Bark River makes most of its knives by hand. As a result each knife is unique. Especially when you use natural materials the knife can sometimes look different than it does on the photograph. Something to keep in mind when you receive your knife! The model and type of material will, however, always be the same.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
