Mark asked I post a separate thread for those of us who ordered the LT-300 and have received our LBK.
I'll start it off with my order, #XXXX384, along with some pictures of my original LT-300 and the new Memorex LaRue Battle Knife, as well as some measurements for the machinists in all of us. The Original LBK with my black sheath, I also have the tactical FDE sheath:  The original LBK; yes, it has been used:  Some measurements of the original LBK from the skull crusher, serrations and the top flat:    The box and opening, with the original LBK:                   The same measurements of the new LaRue Battle Knife - within half a thou - not bad!

very nice. I might want one of those extra kydex sheaths for field use. Does the new knife fits in ?
Mark Larue is one of those old fashioned American made business owners. Extra attention to details and pride in everything that leaves his shop. Rare nowadays. |

Knife dimensions are similar so I would suspect no issues with the fit. This was a kydex made for the LaRue 10 years ago. Not sure who actually made it. |

My order XXXX397 is showing delivery on Thursday.
I thought Mark was signing the back of the sheaths? |

i was under the impression the original's shipped with a spec opps pro combat master long sheath? i have never seen the one you have...interesting.
it also appears the blade is sharpened at a different angle on the new ones? Looks to be a great addition to the stable. i wish they would have used some wilder grained scales for the handles like the first run but i cant wait till i have mine in hand. 2 more weeks |

I’m pretty sure the combat master sheath I have is the short. I may have to order the long since the short is about 1/4” shy. I too like the look of the original scales, but I’m sure I’ll like these just fine. |

Doesn’t sound like it will be anytime soon. He said they sold 1,000 knives in 24 hours back on Memorial Day. The emails said “We are manufacturing knives at a rate of 80/week - the earlier you purchase, the quicker you will receive your own piece of LaRue history.” That was about 3 weeks ago and so far 6 people have posted up that they received tracking numbers.

First impressions:
1. The craftsmanship is simply amazing. 2. The knife feels so light in hand, and is very well balanced. 3. The sheath is just stunning. Bravo ML and the LT team!! Thank you!!!!!   Crappy iPotato pics, I might dust off the camera and do right by this thing later... |

It sounds like they only shipped 20. There is some bullshit excuse about the order numbers on IG. My credit card is stored on the site and I received an order confirmation email before the announcement email arrived - a pre-preorder, if you will. I have a hard time believing I wasn’t one of the first 20 confirmed orders. Maybe I was skipped because I ordered multiple and they wanted to get the first 20 knives in unique hands. At any rate, 20 is a far cry from 80/week. But maybe they’ll knock out a few more of the pre-preorders next week.

You have been here long enough to know that larue does not always ship by order number, im sure you will have it soon and the wait will just be a memory. how would you like to be one of the last orders? anyone know what size the spec sheet is i need to order some frames for my brother gift set |

Took mine out to the pasture today. That sheath is no joke built like a tank. I did pick up the combat master large sheath as well to have an alternative. Wife made fun of me for buying a frame for the spec sheet as well.
One of these days i’ll figure out how to post a pic from my phone as well. What’s the trick? |

I use the Imgur app, upload to a hidden post with the pictures I want, and then once they're up you can long press a photo and click copy to copy the image url and then use the photo button above the text editor here on ARFCOM. |

Is that just a regular Dillo or is it a knife owners one? Kinda like he did with the buildAR Dillo.
Also what’s up with the signed sheaths? I thought the first thousand were getting autographed. LaRue’s IG isn’t working for me… maybe I bugged mark too much about the knife. lol |

Just a regular dillo an employee delivered mine as he lived nearby probably had extras in truck haha. Sounds like may have been an issue with original Leather supplier based on insta. Maybe why we are getting the sweet signed spec sheets instead. Either way the poor bugger gonna have to sign 1k of em haha.

Honestly, I like the autographed spec sheet more than the sheath being signed.
I can display the spec sheet (next to my Siete one), whereas the sheath signature would be covered up while in use and possible over time fad/wear off... |

Dayum! Talk about a hair popping edge.
Went to strop my LBK. I'm a fan of the idea of sharpening once, stropping forever... This allows me to keep my knives ready, always. These babies have a wicked nice edge on them...   |
