I just ordered a limited edition bk16!

[Greybush]

First production run of 250 with Ethan's signature on the blade. They also had the 15 and 17 in stock. Found it by accident. I'm stoked! I'll have it next week and post pics. I'm on my phone so I'll just be able to post the link.

I am assuming no one commented yet because they are buying all of them, Damn it sucks to be broke. Good deal though man!

 

[abrasion]

Holy crap!!!

No funds here either, haha. Oh well, such is life. I noticed it has the saber grind, not the ffg.

Saw that also, The girlfriend is out of town this weekend Perhaps I need to take a trip back to the folks house and put in a little work and get some cash from metal. See if i can snag one. That would be sweet!

 

[thrillbilly]

no point in payin a lil more for something that will be ruined when I strip the coating. I wonder if this is a ''official'' Kbar thing? sounds like they r just engraving them theirselves. (SMKW)

 

[Chameleonbear]

wait... It says "In Stock" does that mean actually IN STOCK?

 

[The Warrior]

"First" production run. I wonder if these were ones they did, before deciding to go to the different finish, and laser etchings, rather than roll stamped.

Stripping isn't going to turn a sabre grind into a ffg, That's why I'm interested haha. but as far as the others go I'm with you.

 

[Chameleonbear]

tangs are stamped rather than engraved. The blades are then engraved through the powder coat with "First Production Run" as well as Ethan Becker's signature.

That's what the site says at least...

I wonder if that will be the price for the normal production ones as well. Seems a little high.

 

[dresnor]

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered 249 of them.

Just kidding, I only ordered one and now I need to change my pants.

Pictures when it shows up.

those are apparently the "secret protos"

afaik, they were not suppsoed to announce or ship until April 1st. either something changed, or they are breaking rules. bigtime.

So there's the premium price for bleeding edge Beckerheads. Works for me if it means actually getting the sabre grind. We'll see in 7-10 biz days. Too bad about the price, but Wife can just get a second job.

 

[Skystorm]

WTH?!?!?!?!? No Machax and yet they just throw out BK16's with no notice???????? Jesus jumping frogballs. Quick Batman, to the credit card!!

 

[The Warrior]

What the hell, who needs to eat? Just ordered a 16.

So since the cat it out of the bag, How hard is it going to be to get my hands on a sabre grind one later on?

sorry dude, sucks to be you

this has nothing to do with Beckerheads. it's pure business.

you want the proto versions? this is it.

you want production and cheaper? you wait

but in theory, if they ship before april 1st, they are violating the rules...

course, what do it know?

 

[Psyop]

Wtf??????????

there were around 200 roll stamped ones so i was told. they are claiming 250. who knows?

you want a special proto safe queen? buy now.

you want to to wait for a less $$ model with laser etchings? wait... wait... wait a LONG TIME
