I want one now! They aren't on Ka-Bar's website. Everytime I use my Chinese BK13, I wish it were U.S. made. Perfect size for a neck knife. Not too large, not too small. When can I get one that is U.S. made?
 
I can't find one anywhere on the net...how bout a picture of yours?
How does it compare in size to the 11 ?
 
If you are referring to the little knife that that comes with the new Kabar bk7 or bk 9, they are chinese made as are the sheaths.....mainland china that is (I could be wrong, the sheath may be made in Taiwan.) Ibelieve you are out of luck trying to find a US version, but the bk 11 is right up your alley, and US made. I have been back and forth if I should get the bk 11, or just save some up until I have enough for a RAT 3.
 
There's bad news and good news. The little knife (BK-13, IIRC) that comes with the BK-7 and BK-9 is made in China: that's the bad news. The good news is that they will be made in the US, according to Ethan Becker: they're just not out yet. He did show a prototype a few months back, though when it will hit the street is anybody's guess.
 
I beleive Ethan was putting the US made prototype through it's paces. TOOJ posted some pictures. If I remember correctly, Ethan wanted to abuse it to verify edge retention, etc.
