Tanker is that a hot apple cider vinegar dip on your 5?

My 15 is hot apple ceder vinegar dipped, IIRC only about 5 minute dip boiling hot

91bravo custom fit the scales, etched the blade with molon labe, then bead blasted the blade and hardware. Medic finished It with one of his Sweet Home Alabama Edges.

The steel looks darkened/etched with something like a hot vinegar dip

I used horticulture 20% vinegar on my eskabar and it got almost black in about 5 min.

I'm very curious of your opinion on the sandblasted BK&T Reinhardt .

It's a lot lighter than the Blackjack model, due to the thin blade stock. I really like the feel of it so far! Only wacked a few limbs with it, but no real use yet.

It's also thinner and lighter than the 21. Faster in the hand

Is it really? I thought they were the same thickness....

The 21 is about 1/16" thicker. Don't know if there is a difference in weight between the different steels as well ?

The thickness on all three are different.

The grind height is also a major difference.

The blackjack RBK is 440C and the combat kukri is AUS-8 i believe.

Thanks for the comparison Xr6x . The difference in weight between the Blackjack and the BK&T is night and day difference. Is it that way between both of yours?

Your welcome 91, there is quite a difference in weight between the two I have. Not sure what the Japan model weighs compared to the 21. But it's a little thicker then I would think it has to be the heavyweight of the three.
