? for the Becker experts

Ok after seeing this post by Guyon
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=477242&highlight=BK-9+BK-1
I'm wondering what is the differance between the standard BK-9 and the BK-9 HH?
The blade looks like it has a slightly different profile. Is that the only differance?

Cheers

A BK-9 HH is the hog hunter version. The swedge is sharpened ,for improved penetration, unlike the normal BK9.

Does anyone out there have a good photo of the 2 blades? a close-up of the tips would be great!

It is just alike, except the swedge is sharpened. But, if I can get a good picture (not camera literate) I will post it here.

 

[Guyon]

No close-up handily available, but as Mountainwind said, the swedge section of the blade (see arrow) is sharpened.

Not great photos, but you may get the idea.

ashtxsniper,

could you please phonetically spell your statement "Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum" I like it, it holds true. With your permission, I may use it verbally, never in text on the forum.

 

[ashtxsniper]

It is an old phrase use it as you want.
Here is some info on it.

Not being a Latin expert I will refrain from the phonetic pronunciation I would hate to give you an incorrect pronunciation. There are those here that can do it for you here.
