Hi brinky,

Your 35 Whelen loads match my 9,3x62 ones!
About BRKT knives I always liked most of their models. Specially the Bravo Lt 1 and 1,25, more the last, with 4 mm blade thickness and 5"(127 mm) blade lenght. Two year ago I found in one of the USA knives big sellers a Bravo 1,25 lt CruWear steel with full convex grind blade! I bought it. A year later the knife arrived home. I use it, lightly, processing lambs. But the true test was with this Red Deer!!! Pass the test with flying colours!!!

Best!
