Bark River Custom Drake CPM Cru-Wear Black G-10 - White Liners - Black Pins - Flat Grind

Bark River Custom Drake - CPM Cru-Wear with Black G-10

Black G-10 with white liners delivers clean contrast without flash—a no-nonsense aesthetic for a knife built to work. G-10's fiberglass laminate construction handles abuse that would destroy natural materials: temperature extremes, prolonged moisture exposure, and hard impacts barely register. The textured surface maintains grip regardless of conditions, and black pins keep the overall look understated.

The flat grind on this 4.75" blade produces aggressive cutting performance with an edge that engages material immediately. Field sharpening stays straightforward since you're working consistent bevels rather than maintaining a curved profile. CPM Cru-Wear stands up to the thinner geometry that flat grinds allow—the steel's toughness prevents microchipping while its vanadium carbide content keeps the edge working long after lesser steels would need attention. Sharpening response stays friendly despite the 60-65 HRC hardness range, and corrosion resistance runs high enough for a tool steel that you won't fight patina between uses. At 5.96 ounces with a .125" spine, the Drake delivers capability across camp tasks, food prep, and game processing without specializing so heavily that it struggles outside its lane.
