Warrior Machax

Nice score my man!

Sick blade man, killer score! Love seeing these awesome rare models. How does the weight/balance feel compared to the bk4/machax? It’s a thicker stock right? Forgive my ignorance if I’m mistaken please.

Thanks BB
Yeah the Warrior is .250 and I believe the BK4 is .188. The balance is about the same as the 4. Just before the etching BK4 towards the pointy end. The overall weight is a lil more but not that noticeable in a blind taste test.

here's a diagram i made a while ago between the old and the new

the Warrior is "faster and lighter" - much more stabby



the KaBar version could easily be made more fighty, esp with the thinned out spine (the exact thing i hate about it), but there are reasons for the update.

there are also reason i collect the old ones

Too bad KA-BAR doesn't reproduce the original machax.

Sprint Run would be awesome

You must have all the literature. It's harder to locate than the knives. I guess it just got thrown out 99% of the time.

Ethan sent me a few pounds of all his literature from his collection in two piles. a slim stack i could keep, and the other to scan... so scan i did. many many many scans.

even with all that, it bears reading over and over, because clues.

one of them is for div-tuls that never went to market, exactly... and how i have a prototype. who knew?

well, you know, it was updated to be lighter, faster, more slicey, for jungle stuff. but that war didn't happen...

however, the north american woods are still here, and Bladites need that. so

I can't decide which one I like better...? haha

Good thing, I never will have to worry about THAT!
