Back to the BK16 vs BK17 topic!!!

I got my son the 17 because the clip point is better for stabbing.
It's a great knife. I don't think you could go wrong with either knife.

The 16 gets my vote. Very slicey. Great cutter. If the 16 had been around in Kephart's day, he would have carried it and we'd never have heard of him....

My son has a 17, and I have both a 15 & 16. Each has its place. The 15, God rest its soul, belongs in the food prep category. Trailing point, thin profile, and full length spine swedge make it a supreme slicer. The 17 is a hunter's knife. The robust saber grind, and clip point make it great for finishing a kill, field dressing, and even quartering. The 16 is the middleman. The drop point, and full flat grind make it a bushcrafter's knife for sure, but it could perform in the other two areas just not as well. Just my thoughts on them. I choose to carry the 16 unless I were to go hunting. Then I'd strap on the 17. The 15 is on my side while cooking at camp, or in the kitchen.

After picking up my 16 .. I'm already planning for the 17 .. it has never been which is better but rather, when will i get both. hehe

16 is a great all rounder but since i can't get one in sabre grind, the next best thing would be the 17 which is also my one and only bowie so far.

I dun really consider the 9 a bowie thou. Now that I have gotten both, I felt that its the right thing to do.

I already have the 9 and I'm eyeing a 7 but dun think it will be that much of a hurry for a while.
