Bark River Custom Drake CPM Cru-Wear Blue Glow G-10 - Sea Blue Liners - Sea Blue Pins - Convex Grind

Bark River Custom Drake - CPM Cru-Wear with Blue Glow G-10

Blue glow G-10 adds functionality to appearance—the handle absorbs light and emits it in low-light conditions, making the knife easier to locate in a dark tent, pack, or campsite. Sea blue liners and pins complete the color scheme for a cohesive look that stands apart from typical field knife aesthetics. The G-10 base provides the same fiberglass-laminate toughness and weather resistance that makes the material a staple on working knives.

Bark River applies the convex grind to this 4.75" blade, building an edge profile that curves smoothly to the cutting surface. The geometry leaves more material supporting the edge than flat grinds allow, translating to improved durability during demanding tasks while still delivering efficient cutting performance. CPM Cru-Wear complements this approach—the steel's exceptional toughness prevents edge damage under stress, and its carbide structure maintains sharpness without the brittleness found in harder alloys. The powder metallurgy process creates consistent performance throughout the blade, and the sharpening response stays manageable despite hardness in the 60-65 HRC range. Corrosion resistance exceeds most tool steels thanks to 7.5% chromium, keeping maintenance reasonable. At .125" thick and 5.96 ounces, the Drake balances cutting authority with practical carry weight.
