I purchased this knife in CMP-3V. First of all I have no confidence in the sheath after the leather beds in. A secondary retention is needed. The knife design is good, with good weight and ergonomics. Now for gripes. 1. poor grinding around the heel (opposite sides of blade do not match). 2. this thing is not sharp at all (struggles to cut printer paper at times), certainly is not sharp enough to shave even a single hair when run down my forearm. For a knife that cost me $350 US delivered to me in Australia, I would have expected a little more in the way of pride of workmanship, and a knife that was sharp.

I am a knife nut. I have several Bark River, Fallkniven, Benchmade and Mora knives. I bought the 3V version of the Fox River for my hunting/outdoor knife. I used it for a short time as a bushcraft knife. I quickly realized the handle is of poor design. It looks very pretty but it is not very good in use. The handle is about 1/4 inch too short. And the sharp edge of the handle near your pinky will quickly give a hot spot. However, I love the blade size and shape. And, I love the Bark River convex they put on most of their knives. I do not recommend this knife until they fix the handle.

The best hunting knife I have ever come across, edge holding is fantastic, blows my Busse knives away for half the cost.

Just an excellent 4 inch fixed blade. Well balanced and very comfortable in-hand. Like all Bark Rivers, it is a slicing machine.
