I don’t know what you’re talking about. LolOne thing you will notice is that Beckerheads cant leave well enough alone. Some of these knives were tore down within 30 seconds. LMAO! Its great to see so many not afraid to mod, use and just enjoy the knife. I was out in the garage building a sheath for the 62. I have a couple more to build. Im finding myself thinking back 100 years ago what sheaths were made. Pretty simple. Cool knife. Good Guys.
Don't hold your breath. I suspect Kabar will discontinue it before it drops that much in price. I suspect that Kabar is paying a royality to the Kephart organization to use his signature on the blade. You don't see that on any of the other Kepharts that have been offered..... If after the hype the price falls to tweener price, I will eat my words. Still love me my 14’s, 16, 2, 4, 7, 9, etc.... you get the idea.
Hudson Bay (the pattern) knives were the BK-9s of their day. A big heavy knife designed to do the heavy lifting in camp. The 62 paired with a Hudson Bay (a proper one) would be pretty terrific.
Then again, I am a big sucker for traditional/historical patterns...

Beckers are still a good value overall. But there are a lot of choices these days. It isn't just ESEE vs Becker any more.
$140+shipping? that's quite a bit more than i paid. also, i didn't pay tax.
for what we're getting, i think the price was right, and it's a fantastic knife.
i don't think everyone will love it. we're going to see people with very negative reviews. a lot of people are going to armchair quarter back this, having never bought one, seen one, or really having much to say.
tis the nature of things.
My second one (actually first ordered from Tomar's) will be this price, if I remember..... Lol I have another hand.I paid $116 shipped for mine.
Did I actually just read that right!!!!Paired with the niner is all I need really. I was thinking about going old school, Kephart style, and using my hatchet instead of my nine.
Good call twenty-two. Didn’t even think of royalties. Don’t have a problem with that, as long as it’s going to the proper place.Don't hold your breath.
