Congrats man, she's a beaut, she is. Wish mine didn't have the signature etching. I may end up sanding that off.I got my saber 16 from @mbay1455 today. Thank you again my friend for reaching out to me on this one! Now the big question is: Do it strip it or leave it?

Thanks for the offer man, appreciate it. I may sand it, then slap a patina on it, and if it doesn't look good, I'll send it to ya.If you sand it off, you can always send it to me for sandblasting, to clean it up. It will have the same texture as your Patrol Machete.

Not in the middle of the blade i betYeah, I guess I do. Kleen Strip here we come!
Although I do have a BK4 that still has somewhat of a coating on it!

Thanks man. I always wanted a solid tang Kabar made BK2 so when I finally found one I thought I’d really make it my own.
I wish I had a Gen 1 KA-BAR model. I have a solid tang Camillus edition BK2 I modded: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/mild-bk2-mod.1393307/#post16057350Thanks man. I always wanted a solid tang Kabar made BK2 so when I finally found one I thought I’d really make it my own.![]()
I was really fortunate to score this one, just in the right place at the right time.I wish I had a Gen 1 KA-BAR model. I have a solid tang Camillus edition BK2 I modded: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/mild-bk2-mod.1393307/#post16057350
Is the Gen 1 Hammerless and came in a greenish box?I wish I had a Gen 1 KA-BAR model. I have a solid tang Camillus edition BK2 I modded: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/mild-bk2-mod.1393307/#post16057350
Not sure about the box, but yes.Is the Gen 1 Hammerless and came in a greenish box?
You are in luck my Ham handed friend. I have a new one in the box. That being said i haven't seen it in a year and I don't know exactly were to look. I will triple my efforts. When I find it.... Well.. it's yours.Not sure about the box, but yes.
Ah nah man, you don't have to do that. My cam model is fine. I have three BK2's, my clipped 2 that I've never used, my modded cam 2 that sits in my BOB, never used, and my stock BK2 that barely has any marks on the blade. I was looking for a solid tang Gen 1 when I came across the cam 2. It's good enough. That said, thank you very much for the generous offer, I appreciate it.You are in luck my Ham handed friend.
