On the website in the description it says flat grind, but then on the specs in grind it says hollow. Can you clarify which is right please ? I want one either way but prefer flat ..lol

 

[Silverthorn]

It is flat. There was some confusion when we were getting this ready to load to the website and it accidentally was changed.

Love this design. Reminds me a bit of a CS roach belly, but bigger and a much better steel. This is definitely getting put on the short list.

I just saw this pop up on LinkedIn of all places, and my immediate out-loud reaction was: "Holy s**t!"
Nice work, OKB.
Should fill that gap in the line-up where the BK-5 used to be, and then some.

I got one, and its in hand right now, and WOW !
Its exactly what I was hoping it would be in hand.
I am not a drop 300+ on a knife guy normally, but I have literally no regrets on this one, particularly now that I am holding it.
The sheath is even reasonably decent.
I will replace it either through JD or Allen most likely, but maybe through Skylar or Sagewood gear, but its nice enough to not be urgent.
I will be bringing it to the NE Beckering so people can check it out.

Its handle kind of reminds me of the Turok’s a little bit.

 

[Batleship]

I like it, but I'm not paying $300 bucks for it.

 

[Bladite]

rather close to the BK15 - i'd rather have than in spendy steel

 

[Batleship]

Love the 15 kick myself for not buying more.

So I'm not crazy! I knew it said hollow grind somewhere.

Any chance you can give us a pic of the spine up to the tip. I'm wondering how delicate that tip is. thanks.

I hope this helps.

 

[Munzer]

Yes it does, much appreciated. Love the contours of that handle too. Impressive.

 

[GeofS]

It’s a sleek knife with nice lines.

For anyone who wants/wanted, one of these, but didnt want to shell out 300 bucks. Costco has them for 199.00 atm online. Just a heads up.

wild - they also have the tan USMC and BK7!
if you see a bk15 or 98, let me know!
