Just wondering if this knife is out of production and why?
Just wondering if this knife is out of production and why?
Appears to be...but any answer I gave to the "why?" would be speculation. There was a thread on this topic some time back, and the knife was no longer listed on the KW website...nor has it made a reappearance, to the best of my knowledge (it isn't there today, I just double-checked). At the time of that thread, I emailed KW to ask if the knife would be available in the future, or if it was discontinued...I received no response. *edited to add - In the past, when it was simply out of stock/between runs, it remained on the website.*Just wondering if this knife is out of production and why?
It is my understanding (I am sure someone will step in to correct if I am wrong) that the MK2 is a knife done on a limited run basis. There have been multiple runs of it in the past but I am not entirely certain that it is ever guaranteed to be produced again after a single run of them sells out. I think that depends on Doug Ritter, his relationship with KnifeWorks, and whether or not he wants more of these knives made up in the future.
Regardless, it is a fine knife and will do the usual chores quite capably.
I had one and sold it. Part of me regrets selling it. It’s a great knife, but I have too many others that compete. If KaBar made it in 1095CroVan, I’d buy it again. I know the differences in KaBar 1095CV and Rowen’s 1095 are minimal, but I really prefer 1095CV.
You chopped the Perseverance in half with a BK10??My Bk10 was the demise of my RSK.

Pics or it didnt happen!!
Tanker, what did you like more about the 10 than the 12?
I love to hike and climb mountains it’s my thing. I’m very weight conscious. For the weight of the RSK I could carry my 7 and gain a bit of length. As for the the Bk10 it’s like what a 1/2 inch shorter and about the same weight. The RSK for me was just a knife trying to fill a role that I didn’t need. Besides my Bk10 is an LE and it rides in a well worn and loved Early Nix Customs leather sheath StrangeDazeTanker 1/66 I'm curious too?a
It almost looks like the perfect Becker, a that isn't even one.... :O
Figured it was on the upper top of the Becker's I need someday.
