Let's start with the specs.
BB13 INFI 25.1 oz .228 in front of handle and .223 spine thickness in center of blade
BB13 SR101 21.6 oz .205 in front of handle and .190 spine thickness in center of blade
REK BB13 INFI 18.5 oz .228 in front of handle and .208 spine thickness in center of blade
1311 SR101 18.5 oz .206 in front of handle and .190 spine thickness in center of blade
1111 SR101 20.9 oz .269 in front of handle and .266 spine thickness in center of blade
B11 INFI 16.9oz .253 in front of handle and .244 spine thickness in center of blade
The REK BB13 feels better balanced in the hand than the standard BB13, faster and lighter. The REK BB13 is the exact same weight as the 1311 which is also very well balanced. The work performed by REK is outstanding and is scary sharp.
Looking forward to a comparison chopping test as soon as the weather cools down.
Here is a quote of exactly what Josh at Razor's Edge Knives did to the BB13:
"So what I did was regrind to a full flat, then do a convex edge blended into the flat grind so you won't see a transition point for the edge, then I applied a microbevel on the Wicked Edge for the final apex stability. You will notice 2 tick marks near the edge on the blade, this is the sweet spot for chopping where you will be doing your harder chopping. In between the tick marks I did a mirror polished micro-bevel because a polished edge is better for chopping, whereas I left the rest of the blade (heel and tip) with a 1k grit edge on it which will be perfect for cutting rope, or hacking weeds/underbrush (for a machete type use). I also didn't leave the tip overly thick since I figured you would be using this in a jungle type setting you would want precision cuts on light vegetation as well."
