My bk2 which has been delayed about a week has finally come so I took it out to play
:thumbup:
I brought along my 7. Just to see the strengths and weaknesses of both.
Started with some light batoning
and almost immediately got it stuck in some hard wood
killed my baton getting it out but it worked
Insulted and with something to prove it punched through some ceder wider than it was long no problem
next I wanted to see who batond better. Admittedly the 7 was dull from a hike from earlier in the week.
20 wackes from each knife. On the right was the BK2 and the left was the 7.
Both featherstick like a dream, but the 7 gets much better after you add a choil
Then some chopping. The 7 was actually much better at this part. But again I attribute it to the mod I did. Once I convex my 2 I suspect no real difference
In memory of Clich's missing bolt all of my Beckers will wear only wear two bolts until this injustice is corrected!
I'm just messin. I wouldn't steal your thunder like that. I sill think it's the funniest thing I've seen on this forum. That's including Flexx's sheath.
All in all a great knife and I'm happy I have it.
Final notes: one quick clean and oil bath and the knife looks brand new and completely unused. The knife was smaller than I was expecting but that is a plus. I don't think a longer blade would make this much better if at all.
