Choosing between a BK7 and a JAB Potbelly

Fonly said:
I'll put it to you this way, I have been a arctic survival instructor in northwestern Alberta for a little over five years now, I am an instructor with the Canadian forces and teach with local SAR groups.

I would take my BK7, reason?

1.Its lighter, more of a use to ME.
2.I prefer the full flat grind
3.I prefer the handle
4.I prefer that steel comp (cammilus model 0170-c)
5.I prefer the look (yes it needs to be functional, however, I want a knife I feel looks nice)

I have used the bk7 on courses in the past, and have sense moved to an RC6, however I would have no problem going back to the bk7. It has been through hell in back, worked over-sea's, and either side of my country (covering any of the wilds that I would work in) and I am happy with it, it is one of those knives I didn't think much of when purchased, however I will never retire it...


That help? :D

It for sure helps. It was basically what I had been thinking, but I really do like the blade shape on the potbelly, and it was clouding my thoughts :D.

I also think I would freaking love the BK12, but thats not in the cards at all.
 
I nearly caved and got a Pot Belly today....but I can't bring myself to do it when the Machax availability is so immenent.

I'll happily do a comparison between the two, i just don't have the funds :(.
