A question for you guys, regarding BK7 and BK9

So I'm torn between deciding which will be my first Becker, and I know ultimately, I'll probably have to own both. However, for the time being, I'm leaning toward the BK7, and that is because I (think) I like the tip profile on the BK7 better. It appears as if the tip, or "top clip swedge", or grind profile on the BK7, is less of an angle, as on the BK9. However, does anyone have any comparison pics, with one knife laying on top of the other? Or even next to each other? I'm sure ppl have asked for comparison pics of these two knives before, so what say guys? Is what I'm looking for already here? A plus would be pics of both knives in hand! Thx so much guys.

Chameleon, thanks for the pics, and yes zzyz, my bad, autocorrect got me. Definitely meant swedge! In regards to the knives, looks like I'm def gonna need both. I sure do love the size of the BK9, but the blade profile of the BK7 is just so much more appealing. Still can't decide which to buy first. I'd just buy both immediately, but I've just got too many purchases going on down right now lol. What's up with the silver pins/fasteners on the '7 in the pic???

There's no deciding, really. Get the 9. I promise, once you get it in your hand and start waving it around like Brutus with a big, maniacal grin on your face, you won't be thinking anymore about the 7 for a good while. And then go chop some stuff. Seven? What Seven?

I'm not saying you shouldn't get a 7, some day. But the 9 is essential. Those extra two inches make all the difference in the world. I have both, and the 7 is just a project knife - never cut anything with it. The 9, on the other hand, begs me to take it out every day.
 
I also have both. You simply can't go wrong with either. If doing a lot of chopping is required, then go for the 9. If any food prep is required, then go for the 7. The 7 will also chop, just not as good as the 9.
 
You need a BK9. You can't not have a 9. The BK9 will reduce the chance of you being killed by giant japanese hornets by 17% and you won't have to vacuum your house as much.

These are facts. They can stand the test of time.
 
In a scientific study by scientists using actual science it was discovered that people who own a BK9 live at least 6 seconds longer than if they did not own a BK9. If fact several test subjects are still alive to this very day!
 
I see you have already decided, correctly IMO :D, but from a mathematical approach,

7 = 1 x 7, the result of multiplying 2 prime numbers

on the other hand,
9 = 1 x 3 x 3, so the result is from 3 prime numbers. Everyone knows that 3 > 2.

Also, a 9 is from a doubled prime (3x3), aka "twin" and everyone knows twins have more fun.
Whereas 7 is just a prime by itself, lonely and alone, never to have any companionship.

The BK9 has no use for your "math"!!!

Because the BK9 can chop numbers. And it's the only thing that can shave Chuck Norris, you just don't want to know where he shaves with it.
 
Damn guys! I had to clean the soda off of my monitor.
Love it.

AND YES, THE 9 IS KING! Impressive piece of steel!
 
When faced with the same dilemna, I bought a BK-7. The BK-9 will eventually follow. I use some of the short machetes for chopping, so the chopping aspect of the -9 is less important to me.

You just. Don't. Get it. Chuck Norris is displeased with you.

The reason why there is no more walker texas ranger is because he traded his gun for a bk9.... At that moment all the bad guys surrendered... All of them!
 
Oh, God, .....What did I do to deserve this, I ask you----WHAT ????...... LMAO......Merry Christmasx1x6x78 #=HAPPY NEW YEAR@2014.......

Hoss, Hoss, Hoss,..
You need a math lesson. :D
I wrote 3>2, which is read 3 IS GREATER THAN 2,

and comprehension training :D that TWINS HAVE MORE FUN, implies that 9s are funner than 7s.

This is obviously the result of all that cult-like teaching methodolgy they implemented in the late 70s called "new math", where 2+2 no longer equals 4, but is instead unfair to the numbers 3 and 4 as it grossly and without respect to their easily bruised egos, means that 4 is better than they are, and should therefore be castigated for thinking that it is better than poor oppressed little 3 and 4.:rolleyes:
