The Bark River Ultra Lite Field Knife is a versatile knife designed to excel in bushcraft activities but capable of handling many other functions. Its clip/harpoon blade is made of CPM 3V steel, offering excellent resistance and holds its edge well, making it ideal for processing game and food preparation. However, it is important to protect it from moisture and acids, as it is not completely stainless; regular maintenance, such as cleaning and applying oil, is recommended to preserve its quality.

The handle is made from a wonderful desert ironwood burl, a precious wood that has a unique and variable appearance. Each handle is different, reflecting the value of the natural product. The entire design of the knife makes it an excellent tool for both practical use and for those seeking a distinctive item.

The Bark River Aurora II is designed as the ultimate bushcraft knife, a result of extensive testing conducted by experts in North America and Europe. This outdoor knife, perfected through feedback received, is notable for its balance and versatility. The blade, made of CPM 3V steel, is renowned for its exceptional strength and its ability to retain an excellent edge over time. However, it is important to watch for moisture and acids, as CPM 3V is not completely stainless. Cleaning the knife after use and occasionally applying oil is recommended to ensure its longevity.

The Aurora II, significantly larger than the standard model, features a pointed tip ideal for detailed tasks and a spine suited for use with a fire starter. These characteristics make it an indispensable tool for outdoor activities.

The handle is made of desert ironwood, a hardwood appreciated for its color and unique pattern, giving the knife a luxurious look and improving grip. Each piece is handmade by Bark River, meaning that every knife is unique and may have slight variations compared to the images.
