Got the 15 inch BAS this last friday

Thanks for the fast shipping. It has a wicked sharp edge on it just taking a look at it. No pics yet, will post a review when I test it on some wood.

It has a villager finish, which is perfectly fine, since its meant to be used.

Congrat's on the BAS, lots of punch in a small package. :thumbup:

Great news, thank you

It handles quick for such a beefy blade. Bit on the heavy side, but that's probably because I am an out of shape office monkey! Its freezing out here in nyc right now, so haven't tested it yet, but as said in a previous post its wicked sharp for something so thick.

The edge profile

The spine is quite thick on this blade,

Can't read anything but english!, but anyways, probably Vim Kami's signature.

As a comparison to a bilton

Great pics! I love the look of a wood handle BAS.

Congrats!

New York City? It would be fun to take it out to Central Park for a chopping session for firewood. Just don't quote me on that when the triggerhappy cops come with the tasers

"Sorry, officer, but Uncle Bill said to test fully new khuks, so I thought, WWUBD?"

Please don't give me any ideas! I already live walking distance from prospect park.

I have worn the bilton on the subway on the way to and from the yearly ren faire! No one paid me no mind, cops included.

Glad you guys enjoyed the pics.
