Crowell/Barker Browning knife: Collectible Chopper
This video reviews the Crowell/Barker Competition Knife by Browning, a large collectible knife designed for chopping and wood splitting. It highlights the collaboration with American Bladesmith Society (ABS) World Cutting Championship winners James Crowell and Reggie Barker. The review covers its heft, balance, blade length, and thickness, comparing it to other large knives. The pros include its functionality as a chopper and wood splitter, and its attractive design with a satin-finished 1085C blade and black micarta handle. Downsides mentioned are the carbon steel blade's susceptibility to rust, non-removable micarta handles, a potentially short handle for large hands, and squared grip corners. The reviewer rates it 7 out of 10, finding it a slick, impressive, affordable, cool, and functional collectible.
