Ka-Bar was kind enough to send this little badboy out to Beckerwest.
I wasn't even aware it was in production!
Apparently Ka-Bar will be doing some quarterly realeases....very interesting.
Maybe OKB or Ethan could pop in here and give us a little more info?
I don't have much info on this knife other than my initial thoughts and a quick review.
Here are a few quick and dirty specs
-blade length: 3 1/4"
-total length: 6 1/2"
-made in China
The first thing I thought when I saw the BK23 Skeleton was, "Wow, that's a cool looking knife"!
It definitely stays true to the blade pattern of the BK9 and BK10.
The second thing I thought was, "Finally! An option other than the Remora as a companion knife"!
Don't get me wrong. I like the Remora well enough, but to be honest I just don't use it very much.
The Skeleton just feels like it was meant to be put to work.
Here are a few pics:



I can't quite get a full 4 finger grip, but it feels OK locked in with 3.



Here's a size comparison next to the BK9:

The flap isn't quite long enough to cover it on the BK10.

It fit's pretty well in the BK4 sheath and I assume it will in the BK9 as well.
