I have not had much time to use the new Mini AK Bowie but that that I would share some photos to give folks an idea of the relative size of the new family additions.
Here we have the 15", 12" and 10" sizes:
Bhakta did a real fine job filling my special request. I had been nervous since I had previously read the history of the chubby stubby AK Bowie but that story ended well too.
Thank you very much Yangdu for being willing to fill this special request.
Here is a comparison with some other well known offerings:
- 15" BAS
- 15" AK Bowie
- 14" YCS Karda
- 12" AK Bowie
- ESEE 6
- - the 12" AK Bowie will displace an ESEE 6 for EDC when appropriate
- 11" YCS Karda
- 10" AK Bowie
- 9" Grand Baby Dui Chirra
- 9" Bilton
I may have to see about getting me one of the newer lighter 15" AK Bowies with the 1/4" spine. That has been sounding real nice.
