It would be difficult to find a knife company that is more American than Bark River Knives. The shop is tucked away in Escanaba, which is in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. There, the company employs more than 40 hardworking men and women who assemble, sharpen, polish, and package tens of thousands of knives a year.
Its most popular knife is the Bravo 1, which was designed specifically for the United States Marine Corps Force Recon. When they requested a scaled down version, Bark River came out with the Gunny, which is the exact same knife, just a bit smaller. The Mini Gunny is, as one might guess, one more size down the chain.
The Mini Gunny was the brainchild of Jason Thoune, owner of DLT Trading. He has spent years not just handling and using knives, but listening to his customers and helping them determine the best blades for their needs. He wanted something compact enough to be carried easily, yet able to handle field work without a problem.
It might just be the best fixed blade for general EDC that I’ve come across.
Handmade in Escanaba, Michigan.
Leather sheath included.
