The New Bark River EPK is a Unique Addition to Our Line. It actually
can be considered in our Bushcraft Series and has crossover into our
Rescue-Survival Series.
As most of you know, Our PSK was designed to fit into an Otter Box 2000
as part of an Very Portable Survival Kit. The EPK is Designed to fit
into the Otter Box 1000 for an even more Compact Kit for Pocket, Pack, or Glove Box.
The Concept was a Collaborative Idea between Mike Stewart and Jason
Thoune of DLT. Developing a knife small enough to fit in the box with
its sheath and then be usable for any chore needed was an interesting
challenge. The knife had to be able to stand up to uses that are
usually never intended for a knife of this size so it had to have
enough thickness to be used roughly and enough geometry to still be an
excellent cutter.
We felt that the knife also had to be Stainless so CPM154 was chosen
because of its Toughness, Edge Holding, and it's level of Corrosion
Resistance. The EPK is a Welcome Addition to the Bark River line and
it will be a valuable asset to your own Personal Survival Gear.
Here is the E.P.K. next to the PSK for Size Comparison.
