Like a lot of knives, etc. Didn't sell well, then after they stopped making them, everyone wanted one. My wife loves hers.
We managed to get a couple of the 15s and 5s. Very satisfied with both of those blades!

What's the verdict on the warrior version, is it Obviously different?So, I got to do a little chopping Saturday with the new blades.
Warrior Machax, Skrama, BK9:
First up, the drop 9. Just as I thought it would, it chopped great. Plus, I'm very used to using the 9 for chopping:
Next up, was the Skrama. This is my first time to use it, to be fair, so obviously, not used to it yet. It hit hardest of the three, which I expected with the longer handle. Blade length is about the same as the 9, but has a longer handle. The wood I was cutting was somewhat soft/punky, and even though the skrama hit harder, I feel it didn't get the bite the 9 did. Later, although no photos to prove it, I cut down a smallish sapling, and it was a chopping machine:
Last up, was the Warrior Machax. It bit deep, but got stuck a lot. Although I've used the BK4 many times to chop with, this was my first time with the Warrior model:

Slightly heavier than the KA-BAR version by a few ounces, according to the database. Not sure how different the blade profile is, but it bites deep, but gets stuck a lot.What's the verdict on the warrior version, is it Obviously different?
