I haven't touched the old girl for about three years now, since its last sharpening were I thinned the edge out. I took the Brute out to a regional park and the warden and I did a fire and steaks. We have been doing this a lot this year. Initialy I just cleaved off a few chunks of wood for the shots. Then I realized that the fire was giving me a rough time because of the soaked wood. So I ended up hacking up about ten or more chunks that I split with my beater axe. Once a decent coal base was formed everything was cool...or warm.
:D

I was kind of surprised that the old girl bit out some nice chunks of wood and was surprisingly close to a machete when I hit the sweet spot. I had really worked on the cutting edge years ago and it bit into limbs ( I found a chunky dead limb to test on) and hacked them off better than I remembered. But then I hadn't touched it since that last major sharpening session. I'm glad that I kept this one.
:thumbup:

I have gotten into the hatchet\axe habit as of late for wood processing and forgot how fun it can be to use a big knife. Next I think that I will take my ESEE 6 out for a whompin '.



 
Looks to have made quick work of those logs. You've got a piece of history right there :thumbup:

It is listed in the becker blade database on here that this should be coming out late 2013 as well as the BK6....I hope they are screw'n with us as this blade needs to come back
 
I know for a fact the 6 isn't going to happen because kabar doesn't have the machines to make blades that big. Not sure about the brute though.
 
I was told that the BK1 wouldn't be made again do to legal reasons.
 
yep, that's what I thought too, that it was gonna be released late 2013...keeping fingers crossed. What legal issues?

Wasn't told that part. But was told that they were not going to be made, for political reasons actually, not legal issues. I looked up my email again, from a completely reliable source.
