Becker vs BM necker

[boater1217]

I am looking for my first necker type knife. I found these two at a similar price point. Anyone have a recommendation between the two or is neither one worth buying (if so, what would you recommend)?

 

[WongKonPow]

what will you be using it for?

 

[JD Mandrell]

If your talking about the Becker Necker vs the Benchmade Instigator, I have both and the Becker would be the one I would keep over the Benchmade.

 

[Jake Bauer]

BK11 for sure

For the record, the Instigator is chisel ground.

I'd say go for the BK-11. I've got one and couldn't be happier with it, considering the price.

If you have another $20 to spend, you might also consider the RAT Izula (someone had to say it!)
I don't have one yet, but it will almost surely be my next purchase. It has almost a cult-like following around here and probably for good reason.

Maybe go for whichever has the type of ergonomics you prefer?

If I purchased a RAT Izula would you recommend just the knife and sheath or the complete kit? I don't think I am going to use it in a wilderness survial situation, just as a backup EDC.

No kit neccesary with the izula which i wanna throw my vote in for because its one hell of a knife.

If that's the case, just get the knife and sheath. That's all I got with both my Izula's.

Your first choice was between the Becker and the Benchmade, but if your open to the Izula, you can't go wrong with one! :thumbup:

Of the Three...the Rat Cutlery Izula looks to be the best of the bunch. Necker, otherwise.

Looks like a RAT is my next purchase.:thumbup:
