This is a one-off, right??? Because... uh....
hmm?
 
I voted yes by the way. Haha
Honestly I think 8 out of 10 of Bill’s knives could be production Ka-bars. Ka-bar builds tough knives and Bill’s are about as tough as they get. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet to be honest.
 
Bill making a Knife with BKT/KaBar? I'm in, as long as it's 5160 or 4040 or similar

really did envy/miss out on some of Bill's Becker handled makes, though i *DO* have one of his Khukris :D
 
I'm Just wanting KaBar to make more of Their Own knives......so many models they previously made, that i want and may never get.....

bringing in more people isn't necessary.

Slapping Becker handles on ANYTHING already makes it something special...... I know.......I already have. ;)

Well, I want Becker handles on Becker designed knives FIRST and foremost... Lordy knows there are models that can be brought back, improved, embiggened, thickened, and new stuff too. Ethan has more love to give.

Collabs are cool as well, if done well. Steve Johnson's handles on a range of zombie product - though the execution of those was a trifle ... off so I'm told, it's still super cool.

Siegle has shapes that are desirable, people love, and definitely should sell a few, even as "custom sprints"... even without Becker handles, they'd be winner winner chicken dinners. KaBar would be silly to ignore the chance. They've taken on other names for collabs in the past, with differing levels of suggest (some pretty good to be sure)...

Bill makes a good knife and he is never dull. He is constantly experimenting and tweaking his designs. I have been following him for over 20 years and his stuff never gets old.

I think I got a custom from him in 2008? And a Busse FBMLE he had hand shaped the handles and added a swedge to it.

That trade pulled me into high end productions, and more customs (I bought my first cusrom.knige at 12 years old...30 or so years ago, so I already had a taste) started me making leather sheaths, and making my own knives..

I like that he still plays with other makers knives/designs and is just a general "knife lover" like the rest of us.

His farm bowie would also be a great basis for a collab!!
