BK-9 XL

[Yonose]

The package deal was pretty good to me, as otherwise I might never have bought a bk5, which is awesome. My bk20 came with the snake charmer instead of the bk4, because the 4 was gone by the time I got it. I still can’t complain, even though I still don’t have a bk4, because the handle ring actually fits my xl-2xl hands. The bundock bowie is fun to use. It’s the perfect 9xl, even if it doesn’t resemble the bk9 much to me. It doesn’t feel too heavy. (Not unlike the 9) It’s got an integrated finger guard(unlike the 9). The extra 1.69” give a lot of extra reach, without imo adding too much weight. The extra thickness enable it to withstand hard use. I think if I could only take 1 Becker out to the “boonies,” it would be the 20.(I’d “cheat” by trying to hide the snake charmer, even if it’s not a Becker but a Snody!) Assuming a machete is off the table.(if I have a machete, the 9 would be enough, if I have a machete and a hatchet then the 5, or the 16) This knife, though most Beckerheads seem to disagree, should imho be production! I guess I’ve said this enough times, though. I’m sure facts like those in post #9 are reason enough. Since it won’t go production, I’ll try not to lose mine. I do like the 29, as well, just not as much as the 20.
