We were told that KA-BAR can't locally make big blades like the BK6, meaning the patrol machete would have to be made overseas, and they want to keep the line made in the USA.
And then the Parangatang came into being, made in the USA, the same overall length as the BK6. That gives us reason to believe that the BK6 will indeed be remade one day, American made, as we now know it's physically possible to achieve.
