The BK17 is a great knife, perfect size for bushcraft work, and the handle just feels so right. The sheath is excellent as well, IMO a big improvement over the standard BK7/BK9 cordura sheaths. Hopefully I will have time to do a detailed review soon. Trust me that the wait is worth it for these knives, you will NOT be disappointed!
 
WANT!!!


Im waiting on some pics of the Shorts in action....wanna see one scratched up a lil and in the field!


If ya wanna mail that one to me I can fieldtest it for u for a few years ;)
 
Nice pics! Can you post a pic with the tan handles?

Thanks. This BK17 didn't come with the tan handle scales, only the black ones, sorry. I'll also add that these handles have more texture than the full size grivory handles on the BK2, BK9, etc., they feel awesome!
 
Hey Brab.....

Lovelypics.....Very happy you like the blade.......Wait till you get a 15 in your mitts.......Thank You !!!!!!!....

All Best....

Thank you Mr. Becker for such a great blade! I love this knife, and I can't wait for a 15 too, that will be my food processing blade.
 
Nice pictures. The comparison shot is very helpful. All of the tweeners look great. .

I really like the sheath! After enough time looking at and playing with knives, sheaths become a lot more interesting. Can't wait for the new knives! I have some nice micarta just waiting for a worthy blade.
 
Thanks for the pics amigo.

I'm in no doubt that I'll be getting all three of the new Shorts when they arrive.
Each one looks great.

Have to agree it would be good to see some a little grubby.
 
BRab,

You are a very lucky gent to have that BK-17..

I would give just about anything to own and early version like that..

Looking forward to your review..;)
 
Those pics make me green with envy, BRab. I think it goes without saying that I hate you, you lucky SOB. :D
