Bark River Ultralite bushcrafter in Elmax, I reckon.

The deal is done! Thanks very much for your help, mate. I’ve sent the money, just awaiting the knife now. I read a lot about Fehrman knives over the past couple of days and as long as it’s in good condition like the photos I’m very happy with my decision. That’s my hunt for a large 3v knife over.

Thanks mate, that’s a much better way of explaining things. I’ll do that.

I’ve been informed via a private message that bidding is rude. I didn’t realise that. I’m new to the forum and this is my first time looking at the stuff being sold. I’m not here to offend anyone.

Sorry? Are you referring to me?

Haha, quite possibly!

Perfect, that’s saved me the £5 signing up fee for Edge Matters. Thanks mate, I’ve messaged him.

I’m interested in the Final Judgement, mate. The top knife. I’ll give you £180 for it.

Thanks mate, I’ll sign up and give the guy a message.

Thanks mate, the link seems to be dead but I appreciate the help.

Cheers everyone, it’s much appreciated. I’ve contacted Dulo and a couple of the others mentioned, and checked every website linked. I’m closing in on this knife! @C_Claycomb just to clarify, a knife about 15” overall would be great, so normally a 10” blade or so. Style-wise, I want it 5-6mm...

Hi, Seeing as I’m having a bit of trouble finding this 12-16” 3V blade, are there any standout UK/Euro knifemakers you guys can recommend? Ones with plenty of fans attesting to their heat treatment and finish quality, a bit like Carothers? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Cheers for the tip, I’ve joined BladeForums too.

Thanks mate, I’ve got one medium/large Elmax blade so hopefully that’d be OK then. I’m still digging about for something large and 3v. I found this thanks to someone on Instagram... https://surviveknives.com/gso-10/ They make an 8” and a 12” too.

http://www.carothersknives.com/knives/10-heavy-chopper/ Any ideas where I can get one of these in the UK?

Yeah, I heard about Bark River (I think) having numerous issues with their 3V heat treatment a few years ago. You’re right though, you could buy the most statistically reliable car on the market and it could shear a valve head within the first month. I suppose you’re just reducing the chances...

Yeah, there will always be anomalies. From what I’ve read across several forums and youtube videos now, if you used the same size/thickness testing blanks and heat treated each steel properly, 3V would always come out as one of the toughest under test conditions, if not THE toughest.

Haha, jesus. That’s a strange one.

Yeah, I probably worded it badly. I just want a big knife from a tougher steel than Elmax. At the moment I’m thinking 3V is the answer.

Yeah I hope not. I just wouldn’t want any rust spots if I used the blade/sheath in the wet and missed some moisture before I stored it. I’ll have a look at camellia oil and ballistol. Thanks.
