Convince me to buy the BK7!

I had the same problem of deciding on the BK7 or the 9, and I finally decided on the 9 but still havn't went through with purchasing it. I'm so undecisive and really can't make up my mind on what to buy first. 2, 7, 9, 10, ahhhh. It drives me crazy. I feel your pain, man. I really do.

On a side note, I'm liking those Widgydashies. I had came up with a very similar idea, but instead of having to get a CAD drawing and some machine shop to do the work, I think I'm going to send this guy a message and see about purchasing one of his. Thanks for the site, buddy.

This is really one of the nicest modded Beckers that I've ever seen. Beautiful actually.

Even if I'm late I'll take any opportunity to post my 7. Careful with shipping from U.S, some sharp/pointy objects can carry a hefty customs fee. Where they will check and confirm that YES that object is pointy indeed! Tried to get a Ka Bar on the cheap and those idiots charged me $40

"But clock what about the north american free trade agreement?" You will say from afar
"Is that sheath not made in Taiwan?" I will say rhetorically.

Seriously though. Enjoy the steel. The 7 has been a good buddy to have around.

Trust me bud, I know all to well about customs fees :( gavkoo as sent me a knife before (BRKT Bravo Necker 2 with canvas micarta handle scales, original sheath and a custom OD fold over kydex sheath Mike made for it), and there was no problem, because he said it was a gift with a value of $10, and the detailed description of contents was “gadget” lol. I'm pretty sure there will be no problem going over the boarder as long as the customs form says its a gift, with a value under $60.

When I sent my A1 off to Mike (gavkoo) today, I said it was a gift with a value of $50, and the detailed description of contents is “Camping tool/accessory”. I also sent it air mail, so it is checked at the air port, and then flies over the boarder with no hassle.

I have never been charged any customs fee if I use USPS/Canada Post, I only get dinged customs when the sender uses a courier.

Recently took my new 7 for a few days camping, my chopping axe stayed stuck in the log most of the time, and almost all wood splitting and firewood processing was done with the 7. Amazing knife, still able to make paper curls an not a single burr or deformation along the entire edge. I couldn't have been happier with it, and the lightweight compared to a 2 or 9 meant that I didn't think twice about having it on me all day. Also with some recent cougar sightings nearby it was nice knowing I had 7 inches of clip-point steel hanging on my belt. This is my favorite knife I have used now.
 
The BK 7 is a man's knife. Oh sure, girls can use one, but when they put it down their hands smell like testosterone.
 
Wayne Whittaker uses a BK-7. 'Nuff said.

Thieves man. All it does is hurt consumers and small businesses.
