That surely looks thicker than 1/8? sure you don't mean 3/8th?

 

[Battle Creek Knives]

hah, you're right it does look thicker in the last photo... maybe its just the picture, its 1/8"..

 

[grunt soldier]

photobucket is trying to hijack you good sir. I would love to see some pics

 

[Battle Creek Knives]

they were there a minute ago.... insane, never had that happen before.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT !!!! trying to get pics back up.... I've been bamboozled..

eta: I've renamed the file on PB and they show up there but when I post them here, it pops up then back to the box..

if anyone has any suggestions please send me a message, otherwise I will have to wait til tomorrow to snap more pics...

try going over to imgur. It should work as a short term solution.

It's your bandwidth use, brother. You need to upgrade on Photobucket.

PHOTOS are up..

okay, apparently photobucket doesn't care for my free business .... not like I abuse it... they made me get out in the cold today and shoot some more pics of the knife...

so temporarily I'm using flickr which I'm not entirely happy with already, but at least I have some photos up...

thanks guys.. !!!

I like it ,,looks mean..Nice deep edge, great looking wood.. Heavy pins for strength,,good steel.. Good thought put into the sheath..
Nice one. Waiting on 2 other knifes ,,or I would jump on it.....

Nice work! I got two EDCs from Rob recently and they are awesome, to put it lightly. I can only imagine the kind of damage this nasty piece will inflict on trees, vines, and whatever.

Thanks for the kind words!!!
I field tested this badboy and will say it bites deep, I tried it on some seasoned oak and from my experience I'd put it against a Khukuri any day, it has more speed and less heft yielding in a deeper bite with just enough heft behind it to push it hard....

it was still able to easily slice paper after about 25-30 swings.. this MANchete will come shaving sharp!!!

Agreed! I just received mine today and I was really impressed by the quality and the attention to detail. The value for the price was amazing. I couldn't recommend BCK's any higher.

 

[Blaid]

I will take this please.

 

[Battle Creek Knives]

Its yours Blaid...

Use it, abuse it, MANhandle it, collect it or whatever, I'm interested to hear your feedback on its performance overall..

its a beast...!! Enjoy!!!

Thanks!!!!
