Hi Michiel
Bark River certainly make a nice knife, I have a Mikro Slither and will shortly get a Micro Canadian. I hope to make myself a larger bushcraft knife but if I do not go down thay route a Bark River will probably be my knife of choice

I have a Huntsman. Really excellent blade but disappointing sheath . Very thin and flimsy.

I've made a thick plastic liner for mine out of an ice cream carton. Does the trick.

I've got a couple of BRKT knives, a PSK and a Micro Canadian. They are great blades and very well finished but the sheaths just don't match up. They are nowhere near as good.

I've got a Bark River Northstar. Love the blade. Don't like the handle - even re-scaled with bur elm it is still uncomfortable. Mine has the newer sheath which is adequate if not spectacular.

There is a new sheath for the Huntsman. It looks like the Aurora sheath (wich is a woodlore type sheath). BRKT had really bad sheaths, but the last 2 years they've been improving their sheaths a lot. They are now made by a guy named Bogdan in Serbia and JRE industries.
