Ritter, Becker, Rowen Collab

Bottom line is this: Shon would not put his name on something that is not absolutley first class when it comes to quality. Of course he doesn't make the POS handles that Becker uses :) Ethan would not put his name on something that doesn't work, and Ritter...where does Ritter fit into this....uh, Hell, I'll think of something :D

It's a good knife folks. I handled one at SHOT and was well impressed. Not sure what they're doing on the sheathing though.
 
I probably won't grab one of these initially, but I hope they sell well so I can get one later on. Variety and options are always a good thing and I'm interested in seeing this "personal balance" system. It sounds like a good idea to personalize your knife to your own desires.
 
someone over in Becklandia cut up a BK7 and made what amounts to a BK12/10 hybrid. very cool. looks to be a harduse knife.

the "Bk12"... the saber grind is an interesting choice. if people hates it, convexing will occur, i'm sure.

i expect a few people are going to just buy and flip these, but they might be surprised at the market returns. there's a lot of interest in this for "true believers" i'm sure, but well, we'll see :) it could prove to be very popular.

I hate to sound like a broken record (or Nutnfancy), but I sincerely do believe that a full flat grind is best for a survival blade over 5 inches in length. Batoning isn't always a necessity, but if you gotta do it, a saber grind just isn't as optimal, although YMMV.

I don't agree entirely, especially when you want to chop with the knife. A sabre grind puts more meat at the top of the blade, adds weight, and increases momentum. One of my favorite survival blades, the original Swamp Rat Ratweiler, fits this bill.
