I hadn't had any interest in one until I saw the specs were a whopping 12.5" blade length.
Now I have great interest in one. Particularly for use as a Machete. Anybody up there involved with product development or whatnot taken one out and used it for such?
Also noted that it's a full tang with .25" blade thickness, guess that means it could potentially take a beating huh?
*P.S.* any expected street values would be nice, The ZK line printed retail values jumped up considerably in $$$ on the move to America. Listed at $172, even with a 50% drop from that on actual street value, I could buy a JAB Potbelly.
It would be nice to know if retailers are gonna take this price jump to heart or if they'll go in the near $60 range like some other American Kabars.
Kinda feel cheated and sad that they didn't remain overseas for just One more year
LOL, I quickly realized after purchasing my Large Heavy Bowie that "Made in Tawian" is NOTHING like "made in China" nor do I have any hangups about the SK5 steel they were using in the ZK line. That's some good stuff..
