I recently acquired a 2014 bear super kodiak.
Never owned one before.
Fade out to fade out seems awfully long making for very short working limbs.
Were all the super kodiak's built like this?

Yes...and many credit that riser mass, especially the pheolic years, for the  shooter-friendly reputation of Super K's. There are and were 64" Super K's, but most folks preferred the 60", then and now.

Yes, the design has not changed much, if at all. Any changes has been a narrower grip, or a more radiused shelf. I prefer the 64"er's, but as said above 60" still the most popular.

Yes, and you can see the evidence this design has left in many other bows.

Nice pick up; they are very good shooting bows. I'll probably pick one up myself.

I think the Super Kodiak is one of the most beautiful bows to shoot and to look at.

My experience has been that a long handle/short limb recurve of sufficient length (like your SK) is more forgiving than similar length short handle recurve because it is harder to torque the bow.  I think that is why they have stood up after all this time - we are getting close to 50 years of production of those bows.  The new SKs, especially the phenolic compare very well with the originals (i'm saving my money).

Let's not forget, versatile.  Two short SK stories. A brother of a compound hunter told me how his brother told everyone that my trad stuff was junk and useless. I asked him and his friend how many quarters they had, 6, and bet them those six quarters that I could hit one of them if they were to be politely tossed across my four by eight target stack.  I backed up past ten yards just to make him nervous while he hid behind by wood barrier. He tossed them politely enough, I hit four out of six and put the quarters we could find in my pocket.
2. The  9 pointer and two does were coming, rather quickly, up the further trail. From my low position the brush line would block the shot, so I climbed half way up a silo latter that someone left from the previous year against a tree to access a strap-on tree stand.  I stuck one leg through the ladder and when the buck was approaching the only possible hole in the brush, I drew, swung with him, took a little lead and put the 2018 tipped with a Delta through him.  The shot was still up hill and the arrow hung up in some tree branches past the buck a few yards.  The buck tore off, covering about 50 yards, then his legs gave out, he skidded to a stop and lay still.  While I waited on the ladder without moving, everything was very quiet, then the final sound of what just occurred, my arrow rattled out of the tree.  I waited another fifteen minutes, before I climbed down.
