  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

I just ordered a limited edition bk16!

With my current state of employment and income (broke, with no income until summer) it is an investment, I won't sell it unless it will have enough resale value to buy 2 more tweeners, production model versions obviously. And on top of all that, $93 is about what I have left from my last paycheck (december 2011), so I can't go crazy with it, and unless I can strip it without losing the signature, I need to get a new sheath for it, I don't like blade blade with a tan sheath.

In short I can't afford to impulse buy.

You could probably etch the signature if you wanted but it sounds like you already answered your question. If you don't really care about the roll stamped or the Grind on the 16 I would just wait.
 
I'm a little peeved they didn't offer the proto run to the BH's first though since there are only 200ish of each and then the leftovers go to the rank and file. Ruuuuuuudeness.

I'm guessing its all about the money. It took forever for them to sell the 10's why risk that on the tweeners as well. This was probably more of a sure thing. Eh I got one either way so i'm happy.
 
It makes me happy to see everyone so excited about these knives.:) Even though these will be the only roll stamped examples and will retain if not increase in value, especially the 16. I'm going to hold out until the laser full flat grind 16 is released. It will make a great companion knife to my bk 9.
 
I was in...then I saw $13.oo shipping...I'll wait to buy one an abuser...screw the safe queen.
 
You guys are such suckers.... nothing more than a bunch of lemmings.....












I just hope mine gets here before next Friday :D
 
I'd say people are slightly freaking out. I know I am!!!!! Next week is going to be a tweenathon of tweener threads. Rolled, stamped, stripped, gimped, choiled, oiled, fondled, ogled, handled, sheathed, batonned all manner of things are coming from happy people.
 
I was more than happy to pay the shipping, oh hell yes.

True but they coulda clued us in kinda maybe. I'm just glad I got them and they are stamped, now they will match their evil brethren.

I laugh at smokies absurd shipping charge, and spit on their premium price gouging. Fiends. Whose idea was it to laser that stuff all over it anyway? I don't object to the limitedness of it but uit just looks out of proportion to the knives.

That line is an instant classic.

I'm stripping mine, putting a big old choil on that sucker and getting some nice G10 for the tang. Can't wait!
