Recently I recieve a new BK 11 csm to take its roll as my edc knife. The thing that drew me to this particular model was its laminated construction, not only functional with the ss outer (I live on the coast) but visually its impressive and thats important to me if i'm going to be carring the blade regularly.
That knife itself is fantastic, functional design, perfect size, great blade steel BUT crappy grinds. Looks like Kabar let a five year old do it. I'll let pictures show my disappointment .
For a $100 knife this is pretty unacceptable. When I researched this knife I did see other reviews with the same problems, but I hoped it was isolated early production problems. I was wrong.
Its not feasible for me to return the knife as I live in Australia, plus I like it (apart from the shoddy finishing) but I thought I would put this up here as a heads up to others and maybe in the hope that Ethan or Tooj might see this.
I would prefer the knife to have sharp edges rather than this mess.
