  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Reg production run--BK15, 16, 17.

Nope. I almost bought that with my 16, but I want to try the new coating and logo. That and I'm cheap, not paying extra for a knife basically just like the regular ones. The FPR16 is unique therefore worth a premium (to me anyways)


besides, if we didn't have something to look forward to, how much fun would life really be?
 
I'd love to see SMKW stuck with a bunch of FPR's that aren't selling and have to drop the price to get rid of them. I'd snag a few if they were the same price as the regulars.

I would be so pissed at myself if they did that!

I don't know personally. I have my sabre grind, now I need my flat grind, also I'd likely despise that etching on a 15.

I would buy another 16 just to keep nice but that's it. I really want to pick up a normal production run 15!!!!!!!
 
:D Not a chance ! Just another impatient waiter, of regular productin run tweeners. Thats all. Nothing more, nothing less. :D

And nothing new to report. I don't even feel like looking today. I give up. These release dates mean nothing. It's April 5. Still no production MACHAX even and that was supposed to be in February.
 
I can see it taking a few days or a week, but the machax release delay is gettin' ridiculous. Might as well be searching for a bk8 at this point. :eek:
 
The good news is, while waiting for the RPR tweeners, i now have 24 yrs on the job ! One more to go until i can retire, not quite sure if i will be able to afford to retire just yet, but soon anyways. :D

You can retire after 25 yrs that's awesome. Where you work at Greece? I chose the wrong profession I get to retire when I die.

Sorry, thats TMI = too much information, that i don't give out. Trust me, in my profession, the average life expectancy is 58 yrs old. There are LOTS of professions that have MUCH longer life expectancy. Job sucks, but it does pay the bills & i am happy to be working when so many are not. I should have went to college i guess.

Available soon ---check back.
 
Just saw a bunch of the new Ka-Bar stuff pop up in-stock. Might be a glimmer of hope? :)
