We were getting our ass kicked with "move throughs" when 2 Bros got us on vid. E was tired and I was showing off BKT to about 8 folks when they hot this, so, we was a little scattered. 2 Bros was some coo dudes but we wasn't at our best. For those that don't know Uncle WierdBeard, this wasn't the best vid he's shot.

Be nice.

Moose

Honestly, I think you sell Ethan short. Sure, he was tired in the beginning, but he sure picked up as he went along.

Heck, I'm sold. Now I've got about 4 knives I "have" to buy.

 

[OldPhysics]

March on all the new stuff is what we are being told.

Moose

Rats.

Normally, I'm a very patient guy. But I really want to get my hands on a 16 fast ... oh, and the new scales.

 

[OldPhysics]

They seem to be averse to photos in some places. Interesting.

Moose

I learned that at my very first Blade Show. Since then, I always ask first. And I'm often told: "No."

telephoto. shoot first, ask questions later

 

[Level headed]

was not aware. got a little trigger happy

 

[Skystorm]

Hard to tell but Machaxe now has skull breaker pommel????? Pleeease say yes

 

[BRL]

holy crap, ESEE and Rowen are actually finally putting the Laser Strike out soon. Pigsr flyin!

IMPORTANT QUESTION: we found out about the four new KA-BAR folders by accident, because we spotted them in a photo of the combat kuk. were any other new KA-BARs announced this week? Already knew about the kuk and ZK and Beckers.

 

[ocnLogan]

And we still haven't officially heard what the new ZK folder is called (not that its a huge deal).

I'm just seriously wondering where the PDF of that catalog is...

Still though, the coverage has gotten much better as the week has gone on. THANKS MOOSE.

 

[orangish ducktape]

where is the catalog!!!!!

-orangish ducktape

 

[orangish ducktape]

Ok, the BK16 and the others have been in production. But, some last minute tweeks are going on as we speak. It WILL have a full flat grind just like the Necket and Eskabar.

The new ZK folder is called the Zombie MULE. Feel free to start the photoshops now.

The BK4 does have the pommel extension. And it will have the new coating and laser etching.

There will be a contest up soon to win a BK17 Clip Point. Its roll stamped, and since there were not many of these made, it is a rare knife to find. Stay tuned for info on that. There may be some more contests before they come out, but right now, I have one new BK Short to give away.

Moose

 

[Moosez45]

Oh, forgot to mention, in order to be eligible for the BK17, you WILL have to have a BH#.

Moose

 

[BRL]

Yay Moose! Thanks!

Also, OMG, Leatherman OHT... spring-loaded plyers and coyote tan cerakote. OMG.

 

[NixKustoms]

Hey Moose you can just give it to me.

 

[ocnLogan]

Oh man... I'm not sure if I'm excited, or sad about the change to the FFG (thanks for clarifying FYI). And I guess that makes sense why it isn't being called the mini-campanion, because now its more like a giant necker than it is the BK2.

What is going to happen to the ones that have already been produced? I think I know of a place where KaBar could unload some of them really quickly D).

And is the BK17 going to be FFG as well? Seems like that might be harder to do on a clip point, but maybe thats just me.

Thanks for answering all of these questions, and I'll be sure to watch out for this new contest .

Moose

So, is the "Necket" the mystery knife?!

 

[BRL]

Ah, the grind as shown on the BK16s to date has been really appealing to me. To the point where I was thinking how cool it would be if the neckers had a similar grind. So, now flip all that

What's the name of the grind on the BK16 as we've been seeing?

 

[ocnLogan]

You mean the saber grind BRL?

And I totally agree with you man, I was pretty psyched for the current design... now I'm not as sure (still excited, but now like... confused/excited).
