The P-07 is going to be my next pistol. Long time Glock guy, still am, but I have jumped on the CZ fan club bus, love them. Yeah, that’s my newest BK14.

I’m always open to suggestions! So, you really like the micarta that much better?

How do you like the BK14 over the standard izula? really been looking at them lately. I find it funny both sheaths such in their own way. Izula seems pretty cheap. BK14 is incomplete. Making you buy the clip separately

I love both Becker and ESEE and say you won’t go wrong either way. I like the Izula because of the smaller size, it carries easier in the pocket. It gets more pocket time because of this reason. But, I like the Becker better overall. The BK14 is more like a little big knife, if that makes sense. The geometry on the BK14 makes it a better cutter IMO. Personally, if I were to pick one today, I would go with a BK14 and an aftermarket Kydex sheath.How do you like the BK14 over the standard izula? really been looking at them lately.

It's like night and day. The micarta adds a nice amount of traction as well as warmth. The oils in your hand will cause the scales to change color over time, which I think is cool. I liked the BK16 right off the bat, but I read review after review talking about how much better the knife was with these new slabs I bought and I have to agree. Recommended!

Ok you sold me on it. I like micarta better in most cases anyway, so I’m going to pick some up. I appreciate the suggestion!

Thank you. I had searched for EDC and scrolling down a little. It all just looked like sales.

It's like Case had them in mind when they made that little belt slip. Never know they're there until needed.Man, those little Knipex pliers...
@Gary W. Graley turned me on to those. I carry some, and I bought a pair for each of my 2 boys who just love them too. Both diesel mechanics now, one for Caterpillar, one for John Deere.
I was a staunch Leatherman carrier, but I'm fine with a pair of these pliers and a Vic Rambler now.
Always leery of reading G2's posts... always end up with some thing I never knew I needed.
The Rambler rides a keychain that I bought off of Gary too.... Bastid just won't go away.

I’m a big fan of the SAK Classic as a second blade. More so the tweezers, toothpick, and scissors. But I love that color scheme!Okay - since we go all the way it seems..

It's a big jump forward in looks and overall comfort. Let me know what you think when they arrive.
(Also I should mention again they're the official Kabar brand micarta scales I have. I know there are a few different companies out there making them. And Kabar uses a wonky size of hardware on their knives for some reason. 8/32, which is just smaller than 4mm.)
