It was never made by Ka-Bar. It is made by the folks who do ESEE blades, Rowen. Heck of a good knife, and definitely one worth getting!

Awesome! I learned something new today, actually two things. More importantly that one can still be had. I might have to join 91bravo 91bravo in scooping one up.

Let's do it! I'm about to place my order. Now the big question is, since it's manufactured by Rowen, I wonder if the Becker/Kabar micarta scales will fit it??? @DerekH do you know?
 
I went ahead and placed my order! Should be here Thursday if they ship it out today. Grinding down the ramp and sandblasting will be this weekend's little knife project!

I ain't Derek, but I do know the Ka-Bar/Becker micarta will fit, but the TKC G10 scales will not without modifications.
 
Definitely looking forward to seeing the forthcoming transformation.

What's up SD! That's good news that the factory micarta will fit. I went ahead and ordered the handles along with the bk12...:D I don't really care for the TKC g10 as they are slim and I like a more round robust grip! Thanks for the confirmation...

I believe you'll be GTG with that setup !! I'm with you on the TKC g10, they're nice, but too slim except on the BK2, that 1/4" blade width works out great with them then.

Well, I'm really excited now! The knife itself looks bigger in the videos than it does in pics. Plus, I'm a sucker for micarta, so those grivory ones are gone once I get the knife in hand!
 
91, I don't believe the micarta grips fit on the 12. The screw holes are different, because of the weighted handle, iirc.

Well, I already ordered the handles along with the knife....:confused: Someone posted above that they would fit. I have also seen pics on the web of the bk12 with micarta handles, so I just assumed they would fit. I guess we'll just have to see when the knife/handles come in!
 
Here's a photo next to the ESEE 6, I found here: http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/rsk-mk-12-vs-esee-6.1390836/

I updated what I said earlier. Tobiism is correct, it's the TKC scales that won't work.
 
BTW, I've had my eye on one of these for some time. I also thought about getting yet another 10 and modding it.
