Love the TakeDown. More accurate than the standard version.

I have been thinking about getting the stainless takedown but haven't had it in hand yet.

I'd like to put a 17" suppressor barrel on a 10/22 takedown.

Adam, that would make a great pack gun for sentry "problems" and small game after a break down.
I keep a TD in my BOB. Tech-Sights work great for this role.

I bought a couple of KaBar / Becker Tweener BK16 to test as detail knives.
They feel great in the hand (balance, weight, handle ergonomics, etc) and came with a serviceable sheath. My concern will be edge retention. I am not, however, concerned with strength as I view this as a companion knife.

I am not, however, concerned with strength as I view this as a companion knife. Have heard some good things about them. I wouldn't be to concerned about the strength either. Edge retention may not be as good as you are used to (Compared to Bussekin of course) but should be good. Besides personally, I would rather a blade be on the kind of softer side. Will "Give more instead of breaking (USUALLY) and easier to sharpen if you find yourself surrounded by nothing but rocks. If I had one I certainly wouldn't feel I had an unreliable product.

The edge retention on my BK 15 has been good. But, I have no problem with 1095 in general and find it holds up well. Seem to remember some micro chipping on an izula but that's about it.

What kind of deal did you find? I was tempted to pick up 1K at around $0.20 a round. I'll probably buy some bulk ammo over the next couple months.
