Hi guys. Yes, the choil was put in for a "choke up" type grip for finer control on some things. I thought this one should be as all around as I could make a large knife in the field and that required the abliity to choke up on the blade. I use my middle finger in the choil with my fore finger on the spine of the blade for some finer work and it does it well.

Like some of you, to me, a knife is a tool first and in real world applications it will always be 99.9% of the time. If you have to use any knife for a weapon you should be out of shells and the phone needs to be charged up. As Bagwell once told me, "the best knife to use in a knife fight is a 12 guage pump shotgun."
I use keep my BK5 in the jeep and have used it a lot.


i hesitate to mention that there is a review of the BK5 as an operator special ;)

"i use the term camp knife with a little grain of salt"... "almost a japanese tanto style tip"... "the Becker company is owned by the KaBar company" :P "glass breaker"... "they're selling this as an air quotes camping knife, extension of the combat utility series of blades, which are primarily soldiers knives... i really think they called it a camp knife because they want to sell knives"... "this is really a combat utility blade, or really a combat knife"... "think how deep that full flat grind would slice and pressure cut in... for carving large mammals"... okay, i can't keep going. if i watched the whole thing again to transcribe the good parts, that 's12:58 i'm not getting back, but you guys should watch it.

so yeah, BK5 combat mall ninja knife!

sorry Mr Jerry :)
 
Bladeite, lol.
Yeah, well guys, I will say this. If a owner is ever carried into court, how much is it premediated with a "camp knife" than with the " blood gouger from hell" etc etc. There is reason for everything.
