Happy Birthday to me! Bark River Bravo-1

I woke up this morning and my wife gave me a wrapped box. I was pretty pleased when I unwrapped it to see what was inside:



Bark River Bravo 1, black with the moon glow spacer, with my name and the year on it. I obviously haven't used it much yet but it came shaving sharp and feels great in my hand. Can't wait to take it out and see what it can do.

I got to play with it a little over the weekend, just doing some random cutting and making a few fuzz sticks. The knife worked great and is still as sharp as new.

Would I be correct to assume that the spacer glows in the dark after exposure to light?

That is correct. Very bright too. I haven't played with much "glow-in-the-dark" stuff since I was little, but things have come a long way. I woke up to use the restroom a few nights ago at about 2 and that stripe was still glowing bright.

makes me think of Chopin Polish vodka, named after the composer.

Our house is well stocked with the stuff In the past 3-5 years there has definitely been a change when people see my credit card or ID. They used to say "Oh, like the composer?" Now more often than not I hear "Oh, like the vodka?"
