Perhaps it's better to not know a deadline then to know one, that way it keeps our bodies from streaming bodily fluids in anticipation... but perhaps thats just me... Agreed 100% I hate that little circle thing on the bottom of the TLC knife.

It's an accurate detail, though I admit it looks a bit strange on what really is just an oversized diving knife (that knife design was originally created for the Aquazone theme).

Question! Why are some of the prototype KA-BAR's more flexible than others? I have two of the silver ones, and those can stretch a small bit, but I also have a trans-green one that would only snap, but is strong enough to do so only when pushed too far. What about the KA-BARS with the round handles? I read on Flickr that these are early overmolded handles for some prototypes, but I have one with a black round handle and a golden blade that doesnt bend, but feels like normal ABS. Is this a different kind of ABS, or is it just my imagination?

Tarren wrote:Close, but is it close enough for an I told you so? Well, I made that connection way back when a the idea of a machete was first proposed. Let's face it though, anyone with any knowledge of pop culture likely to associate a machete with everyone's favorite mental disabled, water-logged serial killer. Tarren wrote:Is this a different kind of ABS, or is it just my imagination? Trans-plastic is more brittle than regular plastic, hence its less give and greater likelihood to break if too much pressure is applied. All other KA-BAR prototypes are standard ABS I believe, including the overmolded pieces. The Bionicle-derived is really, really flexible, and if you have indeed have a KA-BAR that was produced from that material, it should be exceptionally bendable. If not, it's just regular ABS (or maybe a mix of the two). badger

A few things have been tossed around, but nothing specific as of yet. However, I can say that "bendy arms" would never happen. The minifig is the minifig, and that's all there is to it. badger

I NEED the KA-BAR! I have scout minifigs and they're armed with white lego horns. Yup, horns! Can't wait for them to come out, I wonder if they'll be 2-for-1? * crosses fingers

That would look pretty good with a WW2 or assassin guy.

Very nice, I like the way the combat knife is slightly longer than Lego's knife. The machete is very good also. Are they very pointy?

It wasn't until in my most recent Brickarms Order that I got the chance to see the difference between the notched handle and the non-notched Machetes. I noticed that the notched version has a much thicker blade as well as a sharper blade. The handle also snaps real well into a fig's hand. I can safely say I prefer it to the two plain ones I have. It looks more "Choppish" If you know what I mean.

I really love both of those blades :) They are really well designed and IMO a perfect addition in the BA catalogue !!
