About 40 years ago, I held my very first custom knife, a drop-point hunter with white micarta scales. I thought it was the most beautiful knife I'd ever seen. That one was sold, so I begged the maker to make me another one just like it. The maker passed away before he could make mine, but I never forgot that knife. When the Westinghouse Micarta went away, it seemed like there weren't any true white knife handles anymore. The memories of that knife were put into the same place as those of my grandmother's blackberry dumplings - something I missed, but would never experience again. Fast forward to this year, when Mike Stewart posted pictures of a new run of Bark River Knives. Among them was one with white micarta scales. I messaged him to ask if it was truly available, and if so I wanted a Drop Point Hunter in it. He told me that it was available, and that a new run of the Drop Point Hunters was coming soon - and advised me to order one asap. Five minutes later, it was ordered. There was an issue with being able to polish the white to shiny without marring it with the buffing wheels, but I was perfectly fine with a satin finish. The guys from DLT (especially Paul Edgette) went out of their way to keep me informed on what was going on, and were very concerned that I was COMPLETELY happy with it. And I AM completely happy with it. Buying a Bark River Knife, with their amazing fit, finish and warranty through DLT with their amazing customer service is as close to a perfect, no-worries buying experience as you can get. I really appreciate everybody who was involved in the process at every step of the way in getting me the knife of my dreams after all these years. Actually, since this knife is made of 3V and has that amazing Bark River Convex, I'm sure that it is in every way superior to the one I fell in love with all those years ago. A five star experience in every way.
