Dang CB, that is a heck of a deal. That BK15 would be quite the catch with everything else at that price.
cbwoods67 Its would be a pain in the Arse shipping. But if you bust it up its gonna be gone quick for sure. Waiting on Christmas bills to show up sure Sucks!!!!
the dimple on that 11 is a "2nd" mark.
Huh. That's good to know.
I thought it similar to the dimple left from RC testing that I remember from my time working in the factory. Although they would probably do that before painting I guess.
Can't see any flaws that would give this "2nd" status.
they're generally cosmetic like a slightly uneven grind, slightly under length/weight, or a run in the paint.
I'm betting you picked that one up at E's.
they work fine and like you said, if it wasn't marked you'd never know it was out of spec.
cbwoods67 , I'd love to have that 15 if you do decide to split up!
Made some more kindling...
and then chilled by the fire...

pfffft, that's nothing
basically nothing wrong with it that someone outside of KaBar could see.
no warranty though. not that i've every heard of one failing.
if that BK15 wants to be sold separate, this guy has the cash
I bought an unused Vic Camper at a thrift shop a few years back for $4. It was in a box of Chinese knock offs. I took the scales off a few times to clean out the grime under them. The scales ended up getting loose. In the mean time, my son bought me a Vic Huntsman for Christmas. The Huntsman is the same as the Camper, but has the scissors. Anywhos, I bought some new scales for the Camper. The kit included a new toothpick, tweezers, and came with a lanyard. I cleaned it all up with alcohol, and replaced the scales. Gifted it to my wife. Before and after:
I did a little poking around when I was trying to figure out pricing. It was surprising what some people were asking (and getting) for the 15's.
Crazy that everybody wants a 15 now. I have one and absolutely love it. It is one of my favorite knives. I have come close to buying a backup many times. One of these days!
