Is this the most recent production model of the Ka-Bar BK7?

It was new in 2014. Don't know if anything has changed for 2015. Either way it's a great addition to my bag.

I had a usmc kabar for over 6 years. It was used throughout Afghanistan and then some. Not hard use because it's a combat knife afterall. I recently bought us army one from here and it seems a bit different. I mean it is the same steel and all but just feels different. Not by much. Maybe it's just me.

Laura, this posting is specifically for the MK1. I also have the MK2 version for sale in my store and the listing will show it as MK2 (new version). Both are great units and best buys, but the MK2 is the very latest from Aune.

its been a while since I purchased this one. I did at one time see the kab6 in a store up close and really liked it I think trying to compare the two online weight was different. by 10lbs the kab6 is bigger and I think made out of steel and the other sheet metal.

The one I got seemed to be 100% Ka-Bar. Or else, the packaging, etc. was all a really great copy. The blade I got was ground asymetrically and didn't live up to my expectations so I sent it back.

YES!!! 100% USA MADE. It is my understanding that Cutco. purchased Ka-Bar several years ago and kept the factory in NY.

Back in May, I contacted Yiynova about the MKP24 and I got this response from a rep: "The MKP24 are for OEM customer, we don't build stock for this product." I pressed them further about who the OEM customers were and if I could get it from one of these companies, as a consumer. Response: "The 24" are not for retail market. Sorry."

You nailed it. I personally prefer the BK10 to the BK2 but your mileage may vary. Best of luck!

It's made in the US. Not sure where though. Ka-Bar is out of Olean NY but I'm not sure if this knife is made there.

Yes most KA-BAR knives are made in The good ol' US of A but there are some that aren't. Here is a link to their website to see for yourself. http://www.kabar.com/.

That is a newer model than I have but I would go to the K&N; website and double check.

Absolutely. Always has been and always will be. Union Cutlery (Cutco today) started making the full size Ka-Bar combat knife for the Marines in WW2. They have been and always will be manufactured in Olean, NY.A. BlaylockUSMC, 2005-Forever

Yes it most certainly is, as far as I know all of the knives in the BK series are full tang.

The Black BK7 handles are the same as the BK9, BK2, and any other full sized Becker knife currently made by KA-BAR I'm pretty sure. I have the BK7 and the BK2 and they are the same BLACK handles. According to Ka-Bar, the BK9 has the same black handles.
