Hail the mighty 9!

[Boss1911]

My 9, cleaned up with some beauty oil on

My most used Becker. I wouldnt mind havin' one of those 20s, or 29 or other large one

Is it just me or does the wear pattern look like a Mushroom Cloud? "Made in America..."

 

[Swampdog]

Yes, I see the mushroom cloud and "... tested in Japan."

J JD Miller - how does the cord/biner work? Do you just loop the carabiner onto a belt or loop?

Finally got around to sandblasting the hardware....

Looking good bravo. Is it killing you to NOT blast the blade. Lol

I think I'll leave this one and just let it wear away! Something about a beat up blade that looks great!

This. I love the look of a well worn blade. Stripped, etc, looks nice, but a good, beat up blade tells a story...

I have been beating the crap out of this 9 the last 2 days clearing Mimosa, scrub brush and small saplings for a well site! This 9 has the rough coating on it and I noticed that it wears faster and easier than the smooth coating, like on my bk5.

Yes it does. I like the smooth coating better. You liking the niner?

 

[91bravo]

I'm loving the niner! It's no bk4, but I really like it!

Yep, just hook it on the side belt loop on wrangler jeans, no belt

 

[bearfacedkiller]

The rough coating does wear faster. To me that is good as I feel like it hurts performance.

My practice is to leave the smooth on and strip the rough off. Blast that thing!!!!!!

I am glad you are liking it!

 

[Tanker 1/66]

Blast it bravo Blast it!!!!

 

[91bravo]

It's sitting in my truck right now and I almost was tempted to take it to the sandblaster! I'll leave the coating though, it's starting to look like I abuse it some!

 

[Tanker 1/66]

I like the look of a naturally used 9, But your blasted blades have that great parkerized look. Like a freshly oiled and wiped Ma-deuce

 

[91bravo]

I have a ma-deuce mounted in the bed of my truck for mosquito eradication! I'll think about blasting it later, but for now, the coating is gonna stay! I gotta give The Warrior a run for his money!

 

[KingMC]

It's the 20's fault that my 9 isn't worn more, as soon as I got the 20 the 9 stopped getting used. I'm thinking the next camping trip I go on I'll take my 9 along for nostalgia's sake.

 

[The Warrior]

I'm loving the niner! It's no bk4, but I really like it!

I often wondered if would have had a 4 first, if I would have liked the 9 as much. I used the hell out of my 9, way before I got a 4.

I gotta give The Warrior a run for his money!

No fair, your coating wears off faster, haha.
