Ordered!

I’ve been wanting something like this for a looooong time! Thank you, Ethan, KA-BAR, and State and Union!

Thank you Geof! Looks like this one is the next knife for me! I hope they bring back the BK15 in this steel, I believe it would sell!

I had the exact same thought about them bringing back the BK15 in magnacut! That would be amazing!

I like the 16 too, so I’m definitely going to own me a Becker blade in the Magnacut flavor. I’ve been impressed by that steel so far.

Not my thang, but still good to know there's a new release.

EDIT: I guess I should have checked my email earlier, haha.

For me, this is the most exciting news in Becker-land since the BK62 came out. Beckerheads have been asking for tweeners in stainless for a while now and KA-BAR delivered in strong fashion. If I had to bet, I would have guessed KA-BAR would have used s35vn. No, they went all in and used magnacut! Outstanding!

I use my BK16 in the kitchen all the time. I may strip that one and throw it in a pack and use the new Magnacut 16.

Ooh... Beckers in Magnacut

Can any paste the pic and info in this thread? ... Links to kabar.com wont open for me here

It's longer than the BK16 (0.5" blade, only 0.125" overall).
I'm guessing that State and Union knives stay at Kabar? (meaning they won't be available elsewhere...I nearly soiled myself when I saw the BK9 price on that page)
Interesting that there is no BK&T logo, but they used the BK designation...

Had to Bite
Should make a Great wet or dry environment knife

 

[GeofS]

On the State and Union Instagram page they say they made roughly 400.

Oh, fair point! 3rd one then.

If they're branding this under State&Union w/ different micarta, then I think it's going to be pricier than the added materials/production cost on full-production Tweeners. Endorsed regardless.

Leaves me wondering what custom tweener you made. ;-)

Nothing scientific here, just grabbed pics of the 16 and the 76 from KA-BAR’s website and manually slid them next to each other to see if anything would be glaringly different with their silhouette. Nothing sticks out, looks very close…
