[1] All blade lengths are measured from the front of the micarta scales to tip. . . . note how the micarta now extends over the front guard hole in order to get you another 1/2" of blade.

[2] Sheaths are no longer included in the price of the knife, but will be available. There will also be many configurations in different materials, from several suppliers. We believe that this will give the customer the most bang for the buck as you will now only be paying for exactly what you want.

[3] Having not increased our prices in nearly 4 years, in spite of steady increases in material and labor, the time has come. We are now employing several new, much more expensive manufacturing processes that will prove to make for a much better product. Couple this along with a huge increase in the amount of steel being used for each individual model, and an increase in prices will be noticed across the board.

[4] Say farewell to the asymmetric edge! Your feedback indicated that you prefer a symmetric edge. So, all edges will now be SYMMETRIC convex unless ordered in an Asymmetric convex configuration.

More to come later. . . . .

Are the increases going to be 10, 15, 20, 25% or more? While I have no doubt that they will be worth every cent, I just want to have an idea fo what I have to sell to get what I want. I hear that drug/disease free blood brings a premium these days:D

I think we'll find out in about "two weeks", but I can already feel my wallet groaning. Regardless...

Cheers,
BJB :D

"1/4 inch, or not 1/4": that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them."

Looks like even Shakespeare is heading to Blade!!

Excellent question, these beautiful new models had better be 1/4". If I'm remembering an old post correctly the core CG models will always be 1/4". Take that with a grain of salt as I've been searching and can't find the thread for verification.
 
Kewl :) I was thinking last night, the day my new BM arrives I am gonna put symmetrical convex edge on it. He he :) Thanks Jerry..
 
Jerry,
Is the laser mark gonna be the old "E" as in the pics or will the new line production have the new Fusion mark? I didn't see pics of the new Badger in there ??? :) I did see enough to consume every cent I can scrape up for the rest of the year though!!
Later,
Bill
