Since our initial update, we’ve taken further steps to verify the remaining Bark River inventory we have. DLT and KnivesShipFree hold a large portion of the remaining new Bark River knives on the market, so we both took the lead in validating what’s still out there.
We partnered with KSF and had the inventory independently tested by Niagara Specialty Metals in New York, a trusted U.S. producer of CPM and other cutlery steels.
Samples were submitted from every Bark River model still in stock across both DLT and KnivesShipFree. Results:
All but one model tested exactly as marked
The only exception was the CPM154 Bark River Pig Sticker, even though it doesn’t appear to be a pre-made blank, it did not test as marked.
We will handle the Pig Sticker the same way as the previously identified models and take care of any affected DLT customers. While this is a significant undertaking, we’ve chosen to step in to ensure our customers receive exactly what they paid for.
