My new eskabar!

[crobbins88]

Sorry for the bad cellphone pic its all i have

I love this lil knife! Much better than the old handle.

Nice looking blade...

Maybe I missed it or this is something new: do the Izula handle slabs fit on the ESKABAR?

I have been considering an ESKABAR as a "lay around" knife.

They need to be modded a little. Takes a razor blade and 5 mins to do. Lay around? Mine gets some action at every turn.

I ordered mine today, I think it will be the best of both worlds

Seems like a nice knife overall and it interests me. Just can't justify the purchase yet though because I don't see it doing a better job than my Izula can. If anything I'll get an Izula-II before I even think about getting this.

Really like the collaboration though between ESEE/Becker & KaBar on this one though. Nice to see good companies working together.

I like it, is the Eskabar handle a touch bigger than the Izzy or am i looking at it wrong? Might be the fuzzies in my eyes had a rough night last night

I like it a lot better with the new handle too.

yup - my ant & drug lord handles are identical.

 

[Pvt.snoballz]

with some time on a grinder, a careful hand and some water you can probably mod the eskabar to have an izula-like blade profile

I guess the new nickname for the ESKABAR is Pablo

yup, when I show it off, I tell people "Say hello to my leetle friend"...

Does the Becker BK14 EsKaBar come in coated clors like the Izula? Or, can I buy one naked - uncoated? Thanks

Thanks crobbins88, I was lazy & looked up n found enough sites selling it to figure out it was black. What is it with ESEE & KA-BAR - ya can't get a nice satin finish knife out of these guys?

that would cost more money :>

take a look at the san-mai BK-11's price also hand stropped. pricey?

lots of people are about functionality and savings, especially these days

and unlike some knives, if you strip them, these things aren't too ugly even

i guess some folx don't regard 1095 as the most interesting thing to bring to satin and even mirror, but it can be done. just takes more time. time == money.
