Yeah it’s pretty cool as in different cool. At least outside the wild world of flashlights that is. lol That Kabar BK-3 looks like it was forged from a train rail. 
Quite a bit shorter though than the Carnivore at 12 1/2”. Still, hard to go wrong with Kabar-quality even though it costs about 3x as much.
I was messin’ around with it tonite and to me it turns out the most interesting unique aspect of this thing is the substantially wide gut/wire hook. It is one beefy mean sharp cuss. It’s not until you hook something with it that you realize this could be dang handy out in the field. I can see where hooking barb wire, concertina wire, rope, cable and such, suddenly isn’t so much one of those head-scratchers as in, ‘Just how do I deal with this mofo situation without messing up my hands?’ - assuming all you have is a minimal bug-out bag with you.
Maybe you can envision what I’m talking about here and will also imagine the extra leverage/pull you get way out there on that 1/8” 440-stainless and 18” overall length from that hook - particularly if you yanked on something suddenly hard. Yowza. Things will likely happen. It is IMO the nastiest feature of this blade. It’s inherently very effective because it acts like a direct extension of your arm in an unusual manner (pulling) in a straight line that most BF knives or machetes can’t do. The other thing about it is that toting around a typical full-fledged black machete with widely known profile in a campsite or trail for that matter prolly isn’t something most people wanna see if you get The Book of Eli drift. This thing doesn’t quite have the gutteral voodoo-like connections that machetes tend to have IOW. It’s more like a mache-knife quasi slingblade.
Just some thoughts.
Oh and btw, after fiddling with the screws I’ve decided that it’s best to leave them as is tightened down from the factory. I don’t think they’re gonna move so no Loctite needed. Plus they’re shallow so don’t mess with them. They’re plenty snug as is. The tightly-wound 550 Paracord wrap I put on the grip IMO transforms this into a more solidly integrated unit - that and it helps ensure the screws stay put.
I’m liking it more and more. It grows on ya.
