First Becker - BK4 or BK9???

All hail the KING, babay! As my Chinese cooking instructor used to say: "You gonna LOVE it!.....and if you don't, you gonna fake it!!!" Seriously, tho....you can't NOT have a 9. 'Twas my first Becker.....tho not my last.
 
Well, I got the 9 Friday and this evening was the first time I've been able to get out with it. I just took it out to finish clearing some shooting lanes and put some finishing touches on my stand and my blind. I played around with it some, batoned a few logs, made some feather sticks and started a fire, chopped some brush. So far so good, I really like it. I'm going to make a few changes. The coating definitely has to go. I feel it would chop and baton much easier without it. Also I'm going to pick up some aftermarket scales. Probably wood from Tommythe who. I tried hockey tape but I didn't care for it when I was chopping.

Oh, and because of a Walmart screwup I got it basically free. Actually they paid me to take it. They charged my debit card three times. When I called them to complain they said they would reverse the charges. I checked my account today and not only did they reverse the charges but for some reason they reimbursed me an extra time. I talked to my bank because I didn't want money that wasn't mine and they basically said don't worry about it a big multibillion-dollar corporation like that won't miss $60.

I didn't know you could walk out of a Walmart with a BK9, not to mention doing for $60. I'd have been charged three times because I bought three of them!

Lol, I wish it was that easy. I bought it online and had it delivered to the store. It was $95. I had a gift card for $35 so my out of pocket was $60. Somehow I ended up not paying anything and getting $60 deposited into my account, lol.
 
Congrats on the new steel and fortune! I must admit, walmart and becker in the same sentence is kinda creepy. It's like buying an Ontario rat at a Shell station.......just doesn't add up. Regardless, glad u got paid to own it, lol
 
So you couldn't decide between the 9 and the 4. Then you got the 9 for free plus another $60 which just happens to be the current price of the 4. So really, you coming here for a recommendation lead to a series of events that got you both for free.

Not a bad deal. 😎
