I can order a BK3 TacTool off the Ka-Bar website.
But it doesn't look like that.
I vote yes.

Thanks! I'm thrilled to have them in my hand and can't wait to swing that 20 and see what it's got against some measly firewood!

Nice 91! How do you like the grip on the 15?

I'm kinda undecided after playing with it for a few minutes. I have small hands, but I can't figure out if the handle is a little small or what. We'll see after a few days of fondling it.

Liners are easy to add - and remove - to help decide.
I've beefed up all my tweeners except the NIB 15 that I'm on-again off-again saving for someone else.
I wear an XL glove, and like the ability to grip the handle and hold on tight.
Still, whenever I go back to stock scales, I really appreciate the light weight and nimbleness.

I was going to say the same thing as tjswarbrick, add some liners. Another thread you could start, on making liners, haha. The tweener handles were way too small for me, unfortunately. I always felt the forefinger area small as well.

I think liners would change that.
I should change mine out. Mine are rusty, haha. I notice it in almost all photos I post of my blades.

All of our disco'd blades or just 1 of each model?

Unless I'm missing something, what I was saying is though the TacTool is available, the DivTul is disco'd, so - yes - it belongs here.

They didn't go and kill the 11, too, did they? Or is that one of the small-batch specials, and I just can't tell from the pic?

That one and the San mai are my favorite 11's. I'm so happy I was able to find one of each of them.

It would be nice if these came with stainless hardware straight from the factory! Not that the original ones are bad, but I'm OCD about rusty hardware!
I could understand if you had a stainless steel knife, and were bothered about rusty hardware. But you have a carbon steel blade here that needs to be maintained to ward off rust anyway, so how hard it it to throw a drop of oil on your screw heads, and nuts? I just don't get that gripe at all.
