Well, let's see if we can't list a few models, with pictures, old and new, to compare things, and make things interesting...
BK&T No Number Reinhardt Kukri:
BK01 - Brutes - both of these have seen some love, though they don't show it a lot, tough guys, to be sure... Top one is recent Camillus with the desert tan handles. I may skin this one and have wood furniture put on someday. The lower one is an original model, sandblast texture, and is VERY nice. I'd buy more of either if I could find them. Wow.
BK02 - Campanion - CAMP-anion (not COMPanion ;>) - tough guys. Very tough. Several variants here... Left to Right we have: "SG" model - serrated, very nasty; "sterile" (no marking/id) epoxy-like coat; last generation Camillus standard with the optional micarta scales; nice and old original model, phosphate finish irc - sweet, and ye standard Camillus with standard handles.
BK03 - TacTool, TacTul, DiveTul, DivTool... Various names over the years, and quite a few models and variants prior to Camillus - Only one type of which I have - how'd that happen? Now we have a Ka-Bar version too. Earlier models had various doo-dads, nail-pullers, shapes, materials... I'll be posting old literature which lists these [soon!]
BK04 - see next section - my specialty!
BK05 - Magnum Camp (Design by Jerry Fisk) - Now that's a knife! Once again, old and new, new and old... The top model is an oldy but goody. Despite a few steaks, this guy hasn't marked up. The bottom model is a recent last of its kind find from Camillus.
BK06 - Patrol Machete - One of Ethan's favorites, he's pictured with it here and there. Evil man :> These have seen some "combat" in the back 40. Was afraid i broke one chopping hemlock - those draw *sparks*. Scared me good!
BK07 - Two variants, the "SG" serrated model, and the regular issue. One of these days, some nice person will sell me a BK071 desert model, and maybe a nicer person will provide the happiness that only a BK077 EXTREME model will provide. Maybe? Another 20 years will tell.
BK08 - Ah, the lengendary skipped number model. Only what? *5* made? Yeah, I wish this was my picture! Beware copycats!!!
moar!

Guess which one has the polished convex edge? There also exists a BK101 desert model. Haven't seen one of those yet.
