I should have know this sort of thread would almost go into Snark mode! I guess we have to keep up the Beckerhead reputation...

Anyway, for real the BK5 is on its way out? A lot of people love that thing...

Yeah, pretty sure it is.

Its a great blade, one of the best, but its not a huge seller like others in the line. Plus, it takes quite a bit of milling to get one made.

Its cool though, there are enough in stock in most places, you won't see it disappearing anytime soon.

[K9-Handler]

the biggest change is the name "Bladite Knife and Toolz", with a special Zombie Toolz division (green handles)

Pre-Blade Show sneak previews:

Oh. Did you say green HANDLES? Damn. Back to the drawing board...

That blows. I'd better get a couple more while I can.

Looks like moosez tactic to increase the sales of the BK-5 is working. (I bought another one too.)

And a plastic container for bodily fluids.

Can't forget your super useful 1"x1" pocket survival guide.

I picked up the new Bear Grylls BK41 from Amazon. It's 440A, 1/8" hollow grind. It's similar in size to the Bk2, but it's a stick tang covered in rubber. It's also got 50% serrated blade. Awesome stuff, guys. Check them out, they're a steal at only $75

I assume they did that so you don't have the pesky weight of a full tang

So some of the re-released Beckers have been out for awhile. Are there any plans to disco some of the Ka-Bar era Beckers any time soon?

This man loves to disco.

I need to get another. My Ka-Bar 5 got shortened a bit on Ethan's KMG. I actually like it better, but it doesn't have the 5's normal full curvy form.

 

[redmech]

Does the 3 outsell the 5?

 

[Psyop]

Does the 3 outsell the 5?

I would be very surprised if it did, but I wondered the same thing.
