To me it feels like a high end 14. Stays sharp forever. I put it away wet all the time and it hasn't shown any rust yet.....uh, yea I'm talking about the knife btw

The RBK, or the 16 are my favorites, no question.

I have a 10, 14, and 15. I find myself grabbing the ten most often.

Then I REALLY should try out the 24
For me, it's the BK15 and the BK4. These are my 2 main blades when I'm in the woods.
I started with a BK2 and a BK9. These are both great knives, but for me the BK4 is almost a hybrid of them; it weighs the same as the BK2 and has nearly the same chopping ability (possibly slightly better once you master the recurve techniques) as The King. I still have my BK2 and my BK9, but they don't go out nearly as much as they used to.
I also tried both a BK11 and a BK14, but they were really too small for my hand. And if I'm gonna use a blade that small, I'd rather just use a folder for easier carry.
So my 3 main knives are my Spyderco Tenacious folder, the BK15, and the BK4. The folder is my EDC and gets used most often. I use the 15 for food prep and for carving and bushcraft. The 4 is used for bushcraft and wood processing, it's the perfect woodsman's blade.

thats a hell of a knife...how long have you had it?
I really can't remember exactly what year it was. Sometime between 1999 and 2001.

Grey,
You are so intentional about getting people involved, especially the new folks around here. Mad props to you. You are like the daddy of up-and-coming Beckerheads. To stay on-topic, my BK-17 has been treating me well. Have to learn to put a better edge on that though. Do you have much luck with sharpening?
