Barrysail Knife Review: $20 Amazon Find with One Big Issue
Barrysail Knife Review: $20 Amazon Find with One Big Issue
Today I'm checking out the Barrysail knife from Amazon - another budget find courtesy of our good friend John Emerson who picked this one up for just under $20. This knife features a D2 steel blade with G10 handles and is clearly modeled after the popular Civivi Praxis design.
At first glance, this appears to be a pretty well-built knife that offers solid construction for the money. The materials are decent and the overall fit and finish seem respectable for a budget blade. However, there's one critical flaw that stands out and might be a deal-breaker for some folks. I won't spoil what it is here, but you'll see it when I break down the details. The real test will be seeing how this Amazon special holds up when we put it through our Redneck Cut Tests next. Special thanks again to John for adding this one to our testing lineup!
