New BK76!!!

[Xr6x]

Is it the exact same size as the BK16?

No it has about a 1/16 “of an inch longer blade.

Going by the specs, the blade is 1/2" longer
4.88 vs 4.38

It appears that the blade height is slightlty taller too, but could just be the pics. azwelke should order one and make us a sheath!

Blade height is listed at. 1.25" for both.
OAL difference, as listed, is only 0.125"; which doesn't seem right with a 0.5" longer blade. Since Xr6x said it's only slightly longer, maybe they messed up the specs (which would be disappointing)

I’ll post a pic when I get mine.

Mine is missing 7/16” I just measured it again using a tape measure and it appears to be just about 1/16 “ longer looking forward to hear what others get

My 16 has been sharpened enough as to not be an accurate way to compare em .

I wonder if GeofS received his yet ?

Yea KABAR messed up with the measurements or mine is a new model BK 76 shorter

Comparing specs with the 16, it looks like they transposed blade and handle lengths

Imagine if they traced a 16 with a skilcraft and cut it outside the line with a pair of scissors. Here ya go fellas a template lol

Though KA-BAR is in upstate NY and I am in downstate NY, mine isn’t supposed to come until tomorrow. And, I’ll be on an airplane going to the west coast then. Meh.

Nevermind, I punched n my order number in their website and it looks like it will ship today.

 

[azwelke]

Mine was in my hand in two days. Never had such a fast delivery..

Feeling stupid here! Measuring the blade of the 76 is very close to 4-3/8”. Why I measured just the difference between my 16 and 76 was not smart. My 16 is well used

Tracking number! This one and my HDMC need breaking in on our next outing!
