PJ,

I had one a them Bark River Knives, beau coup bucks and the blade was warped when I got it. Contacted them and didnt get no satisfaction. The first deer that I dressed with it, the blade chipped from cutting thru the breast bone. Any $150 knife that wont cut thru the breast bone aint worth packin home by my way of thinkin. I mailed it back and they ground the chip out and sent me the same warped bladed knife back.

Had an old boy naggin me to do some work for me, and so I let him and I asked him if he wanted $$ or that knife, and he chose the knife. Good Trade.

All I'm say in here is that there are better choices. A2 is a good tool steel, but it aint the best knife steel. There are good knife makers right here on the forum, talk to them.

A-2 is a very fine knife steel. Knives should not be used to cut bone. That job should be done with a saw, or hatchet. If one insists on cutting bone with a knife, it needs a thicker edge, a softer temper, with wider edge bevels, no matter what steel it is, then you sacrifice some of it's performance when cutting flesh. It is an unnecessary trade off when there are other tools that will do a better job of it.
