Bark River

Mike Stewart, owner/manager of the Bark River Knife and Tool company in Michigan, was the founder and general manager of Blackjack knives until the company failed and then was instrumental in the revival of the Marble's Knife for Marble Arms Co. Mike left Marble's this past year and has established this new company. These are very nearly the first knives to come from them.

Bark River Lil' Nessy

Since 1884, people have been reading Woodcraft by George "Nessmuk" Sears. In Sears' childhood a young Narragansett Indian named Nessmuk ("wood drake") befriended him and taught him hunting, fishing and camping. It was from this friend that he took the pen name which he used through most of his life and which inspired the name for a camp knife design of the same name. Some variation of this design has been made by custom knifemakers for over one hundred years.

Bark River Sandstorm

Bark River's Sandstorm is a great utility knife. This is just about the perfect size to give a young person going to Iraq. When they come home it will work just fine as an outdoor and hunting knife.
