The Bark River Knife & Tool model Golok has its roots deeply set in the region of Indonesia where traditional tools are paramount. When it comes to bushcraft tools this style is all the rage and has been exceptionally useful for centuries. Despite the Golok's large stature it is very lightweight and easy to handle and carry. If you are looking for a knife that can clear a path, split wood, chop just about anything and take care of any camp clearing needs, then look no further. BRKT considers this gem "one of the best bushcraft tools on the market" so who are we to pass judgment. As far as field tools and knives are considered we agree with them on this one. It is great at drawing bark, batoning, clearing trails and general camp set up procedures.
