I went to a gun/knife show this past weekend. One of the vendors had an excellent selection of Becker knives (almost too many) BK-7, Brute, BK-5, Machax, Patrol Machete, TacTool and BK-9. I stood there at the table for some time vacillating between which knife to get. I finally settled on the BK-9. To me it provides an excellent middle ground between the Brute and the BK-7. It may lack the over-all chopping power of the Brute but it should come close enough and is a more versatile knife. While it seemed to be more rugged than the BK-7 yet still comes in a fairly convenient size. Now I can't wait to use it. My Wife and I are going hiking with another couple in a week or two and it will certainly go along. I'll share my impressions after I test it out.
