Brian Brown Knives Raptor - Small Detains Review

Today we're taking a small-details look at the BBK Raptor! Specifically, this is from the first (and currently only) production run done by Reate (though the second one is underway right now with slightly thinner blade stock! This knife (along with a Yeager-M) was sent to me directly by Brian Brown, so huge, HUGE thanks to Brian for letting me check these out! Be sure to check out the Yeager video, too!
