Check out the great selection of Aurora LT in CPM3V

Thursday, November 22 Bark River knives is doing a run of Black Jack 125s. Every single knife gets a stack of laser cut spacers in the front and back. However, the aluminum spacers are water jet. All spacers are to the same specs.The spacers are pre-stacked and glued so can then just be slid onto the knife.

Nick is putting together a knife with South African marino sheep horn that just came in. The sheep are farm grown so it is very scarce. It is the only horn Bark River uses. When there are back orders for it they sit in the back order log until more sheep horn comes in. At that time all of the preorders with sheep horn are made. Today about 30 of knives will be done with the horn. All of the sheep horn is flattened individually by hand and then drilling can be started.

This week a run of 3v Lt Auroras is being finished. The stock is .170 on the spine. These are .150 on the spine enabling them to slice a little bit better. Of course, they are made of 3v.

Here we are acid etching the logo on the knives. We could laser it, but acid etching takes 2 seconds as opposed to two minutes.
