BM 425 + 426 discontinued?

[KFLEISIG]

Anyone know why these knives had such a short production run? I had been considering the 426, but before the money came along, the model went away. Oh well, I just bought a 740 instead, and I like it even better.

I hope it's because there's an Axis 425 coming along, but that's purely a fantasy of mine.

I suppose that Snoody designed knives will all be producted under the HK brand.

THat's too bad because the 425 is one of the best knives BM has put out in the last couple of years. You could always get a Hybrid from Mike himself. If they are available....

I don't think so, have you heard something?

No. But if you browse H&K catalog, you will be surprised about "snoody's density" in it.

By the way, I have bought my 425 next day I have seen that it's discontinued . To tell the truth, it seems for me that 426 would be better for me, but they have never sell it here

By the way, Gravitator was dull until I have completeley reprofiled it with diamond stones.

P.S. Today I have bought in box 910 stryker from M2 steel. It seems today to be rare enough

MY guess is that it's because the 425 was a fugly knife with limited appeal and low sales. You can still find them online at several sites for around $80.
