The Knifecenter has this "on sale" for what looks like a good deal. In your professional opinions, since I love my ESEE 3, and have been considering the Izulla, it appears the D'Eskabar slots in between the two. Considering it's in D2, anyone have one yet, or care to supply comments ??? TKS

I have a couple BK24s and I like them alot, they're handy and take a good edge. The ones at Knifecenter look to be the same thing but without any markings (sterile), guess I'll find out as I ordered a couple yesterday.
In fact, I getting ready to use a BK24 to assist in cutting the old rubber roof off the slideout on my camper and put a new rubber roof on.

It's great. Edced it for a couple of months during vacation.
Love that I can rinse the whole thing. No pivots no hidden cavities under scales

Thick edge from the factory, but the size is pretty good. I fee like the handle could be a touch longer, like Izzy 2 long.

They take a Great "Toothy" edge and perform Great when used straight from a coarse or medium diamond stone. Though it is a bit wide at the shoulders.
I have had mine for near two years and it shows no corrosion whatsoever.
I have used it for
- trimming/lifting/prying fencing, split rail, vinyl and stockade.
- beat it through sections of black locust (split rail) to shape the male end using a hammer. If you know Black Locust, then you know how much of a chore and how abusive that must have been.
- cut double walled cardboard for a week without touch-up @ over 60' a day
- pried fatwood from pine stumps
General usage and it shows no sign of fatigue or giving up. I was expecting some significant spine damage from the hammer, but nope.
No chipping yet either.
