I’m in the market for a new knife after my main blade was stolen recently. I’d like to support a Canadian company, and would place priority on Made in BC. I’ve been looking at the North Arms Lynx and the Frontiersmen Gear Mountain Series Lynx. Anyone have experience with these blades? If you had to choose which would you go with? Are there other made in BC/Canada blades I should consider?
I’ve owned many custom knives, and you’ll have to search hard (both sides of the border) to beat Bruce’s knives for quality, value, and the ability to customize exactly what you want.

Roy Garrath Blacktail Custom Knives and Game Calls
Medicine Hat.
If interested I will get his email and post it to you.
One of the very best!
Cheers,

I have one made by Roy. Very happy with it.
I’ve got the Lynx from North Arm. Absolutely love it. Holds an edge very very well. They just upgraded their steel again and I might have to pick up a 2nd. On a side note their fillet knives are also top quality. Great local company with great customer service. I got mine with the orange handle which has helped me from losing it a few times in the dark.
i also have a couple of knives from roy....blacktail custom... excellent metal and they feel great in the hand....Roy will even resharpen it to original sharpness for you if you sent it to him....i wont trust the post office with them but he has said on many occasions that he will sharpen them for free if you pay the postage
lol I think I sold you a couple of his knives I hadQuote:

I have the North Arm Lynx, really like it.
I have a used lynx in s35/carbon fibre im selling if you dont go with a custom. That being said on the BACknives website he looks to have a cru-wear belt knife with a bad ass sheath for sale at a great price.
Has anyone used the cutco Hunter dropped point with the double d edge. Was looking at getting accustomed made knife but quite happy with the Wife double d edge kitchen knifes
I just ordered a knife from Roy at blacktail custom designs
you wont be disappointed....Quote:

Best bang for your buck is a Swedish Mora knife..sharp and hold a good edge and cost effective .My hunting partner is a surgeon and says it’s only hunting knife he packs.Don’t get me wrong, I love a finely crafted knife, but they stay at home or in camp, my mora knife is what I pack in the bush
Ron Post has been making knives for over 40 years. You might want to check what he has to offer. High quality (154CM) and great prices. https://postknives.com/

I have purchased several knives from Rodger Hatt over the years... I know of no one finer.

Surprised no one recommended frontiersman gear out of PG
Check him out
I will add that you won’t go off the deep end if you loose it ! I would be upset if I lost a custom knife !
