The BK-11CSM is starting to ship. It has a laminated high carbon/ stainless blade similar to Fallknivens and some of the Moras.

The BK-11 should ship next month and has a 1095 Cro Van high carbon blade, the same steel used in traditional Ka-Bars. Street price is around 45.00. There have been some improvements but it's much the same as the Becker Necker of old.

From that BK-11 product page link that lifeview posted:

Quote:
Ka-Bar has taken a good knife and made it better. The thickness was increased from .150” to 1.65” for increased strength while the grind was raised to accommodate the new thickness and preserve cutting efficiency.

A blade thickness increase from .150" to 1.65"? Well, that CERTAINLY will increase blade strength! I doubt you'll be thin-slicing tomatoes with that blade though.

Thanks for pointing out the typo. A 1.65" thickness would require a very severe grind indeed.
