Official BK18 Harpoon Thread

[turbosquirrel]

Does the 18 have a false edge on top or is it sharpened? Hard for me to tell

 

[GeofS]

Looks like a false edge to me.

 

[daizee]

Eeeeexcellent!
I've been waiting hear about this one for awhile now.

 

[The Warrior]

Eh, tweener handle. Leaves me out.

 

[Boss1911]

I'm hoping they make this one in Men's Sizes at some point.

As someone with Trumpian mitts , I'm glad the tweener handle is still getting new blade shapes! I want to try the TKC scales to get it even a little but thinner as well!

I REALLY would love the BK15 back again, but alas, not to be it seems.

I'm assuming the BK-18 isn't going to be a good batoner??

 

[knifejunkie1928]

Maybe two color options? Maybe not? Idk maybe the first photos was just the proto and this is the real deal?

I'm going to get a few of those wrench knives as well!

 

[1066vik]

yeah - for some reason, I'm really grooving on the wrench knife.
maybe because it looks kind of like a BK14 with a solid handle?

Wrench knife has a near perfect blade profile too.

 

[1066vik]

ayup - you ain't wrong, there.

I was thinking TM hunt (skele)magua with that blade shape.

But I wonder if its the good old kabar 1095CV, It would be unlike kabar to send out a carbon steel uncoated.

The Kabar catalogue says it’s “425 high carbon stainless”.

THANKS!

 

[Aikiguy]

No problem brudduh

 

[SALTY]

BTW: On the BK-18, can you tell that Ethan, the chef that he is, also designed a knife with a handle to first cutting edge distance not unlike many chef's knives?
I can see this as my new guttin' skinnin' deer camp onion dicin' martini olive stabbin' pepperoni slicin' knife!

 

[The Warrior]

Reminds me of my spear point tweener rendering, except for the harpoon:
