Has the BK21 been discontinued?

[GeofS]

I kinda had the same thing happen with my 20. The first time I chopped into a log it bounced back. It had the most wonky edge out of the box I ever experienced.

My BK1 came with a 90° angle on its edge. Amazing how bad it was!

 

[knoefz]

90°?!
Are you sure you used the right side of the blade ?


I've heard people complain of not having a 90°spine on their Beckers... But this is a first for me

disappointed to see the BK21 go but I stocked up and have a few to last me. It’s one of my all time favorite knives! If you’ve not yet had/used one, I’d recommend finding one if you’re even slightly into the big blades

I have never been a big kukri fan. Prefer a machete, or very big knife.

But this is just another reminder that if you see a knife you really want, get it now. Because tomorrow it may not be there

Was tempted to purchase yet another 21, but convinced myself that I'd more than likely sell it.

I recall having to work on my BK21 edge a bit, but it's pretty nasty now. Those long blades and inner curves are a PITA to sharpen. I also had the Bundock, but sold it, figuring the 21 was more different from the 9 which was significantly lighter than the Bundock.

The Brute's were another era, and we've certainly seen a lot of work required on them to make them cut. IIRC, granitestateofmind really worked his to get it cutting.

The guy I got my Brute from already reprofiled the edge, and it worked fine. Not a niner, but does okay.
