Becker Forum: Choose my next knife

[C_Tanner]

I need help. I have too many knives I want equally as much but on my limited budget right now I can only pick one every other week. I'm going nuts trying to decide. I'm thinking I could just fix the problem by giving the choosing power to the forum. Click the option you think is the best choice.

My current stable:
* BK2
* BK9
* BK11 (in GAW)
* BK16
* Kabar Navy Mk1
* Kabar JAB Potbelly

 

[wasatchdan]

Bk-5.

 

[Level headed]

dont you have the potbelly and the MK1?

 

[oXide]

You forgot one option, the $8 knife from a gas station!

 

[Level headed]

nevermind, I miss read it.

 

[ol_sc]

You need a BK14! What in the world were you thinking giving your 11 away?!

 

[vittorioe89]

No 5 option. What a ridiculous poll. :thumbdn:

 

[CamH_16]

BK-14, way I see it you already have several big and medium sized knives.

 

[MikeyJ]

I vote 7, but then again I always do. Maybe that's because I don't have a 9?!? Who knows...

 

[clich]

Uh I'm not seeing your next knife on that poll. Have you ever tried a bk5?

 

[FAL'ER]

You don't need another 9 and you have several mid sized blades, the 7 is nice but I doubt it's see much use with all those other mid sized. I voted Machax.

 

[C_Tanner]

I don't want the G-Damn BK5! The 15 is my compromise. But in all fairness, no I haven't tried it. But I can't see carrying something that big that doesn't have a primary or secondary purpose to chop (wood, not onions). Thats just me. The 15 size for that shape? Sure!

Personally, I have figured either the 14 tricked out with handles and a Godspeed! kydex sheath, or the Machax would be next, but all are on my hot list. I especially want a 9 I get virgin and pimp it all the way myself (mine is secondhand). The 7 seems to be the knife that gets no love, but I've seen some cool looking grind mods I'd like to do.

 

[C_Tanner]

Whoa. Machax is waaay ahead.

 

[Psyop]

I have no idea why there are so many votes for the BK4 it might be great but if you dont have the KING how can you call your self a Beckerhead?

 

[oXide]

I don't have a King, just an ugly queen named Helga, and I'm a BeckerHead!

The BK3 and the BK13 get the least love, the 7 comes in third place while the other two are tied for both first and second place.

BK13 isn't a primary or even secondary knife. The BK3....Well, given the choice between it and a BK5 I wouldn't be able to buy the 5 fast enough. It is a niche knife...one I don't have a use for.

 

[bladedude92]

I'd get a BK4. I'm going to pick one up at Blade this year.

Your poll already gives you the answer: "BK7!! The ultimate middle ground knife!"

 

[Skystorm]

Who said you can't chop wood with a BK5? Chops fine. For a knife.

BK4. Just about everyone who gets one says ooooohhhh, ok, now I get it.

I like the way you think, sqoon! :thumbup:
