Ball park date -- End of June. Although if Camillus doesn't hit that date, we'll have to wait until late July as they shut down for 2 weeks.

Not to add torture to the wait but the prototype I handled at Blade was absolutely awesome.

Mr Becker is also an exceptional gentleman to talk to.

Can anyone supply information on this new knife? This is the first I've heared of it. Thanks,

Simple - take the BK7 and imagine it bigger! Same size handles, blade length is 9 inches. .210" thick stock.

To cut it short, the new BK&T is the COMBAT BOWIE, model BK-9. It has a 9" blade, and is made from .210" stock. Pics to follow.....

Oh yeah, its only $84.95 suggested retail......
