Help me Choose. BK7 or SRK ?

Angus McGunnigl · Oct 30, 2006

I will order which ever knife gets the most votes..

I own one of each already, but I have one more vehicle to set-up and can't choose. I love both and can't seem to kill either one of them.

I've been well pleased with my SRK.

I like them both. You'd better decide quickly, they're both drying up.

This is a rare (

) situation on BF where you'll clearly have to buy both.

Srk all the way.

rifon2 · Oct 30, 2006

I'll edit my original post, because I forgot that about the nice sheath that the SRK comes with. And the knives themselves are very similar, obviously.
I have some concerns about Kraton's durability, but the Becker handle has some issues as well.

So if you don't need that extra inch of blade, I'd go with the SRK.

BK 7 for sure...just get a new sheath of good leather wrapped around the kidex insert...I would much rather have the BK9 or the Brute over either the BK7 or the SRK

I was also going to suggest the BK9.

It's a great knife; it's a lot more knife IMO than either the BK7 or SRK

A really big tough cutter that shaves hair off my arm...

since you just have the two listed I'll say the BK7, I like my BK9 so I gotta go with that.

BK9 vote seconded but do it fast!

Hartsell · Oct 30, 2006

SRK. I like mine a lot.

fudo · Oct 30, 2006

BK-7, but BK-9 is first choice

ashtxsniper · Oct 30, 2006

bk-7 or bk-9 both are better than srk

Angus McGunnigl · Oct 31, 2006

It's a feather-pluckin' tie so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bigbcustom · Oct 31, 2006

Both are great, both are inexpensive, both are made by Camillus and are going the way of the dinosaur......I have to go with the previous person who said "This is a rare () situation on BF where you'll clearly have to buy both.".

Angus McGunnigl · Oct 31, 2006

I can only buy one knife. I have a budget, a wife, two kids and a deep hatred of working overtime.

billym · Oct 31, 2006

I have an SRK and it is OK for a sharpend prybar. It is so thick it does not keep a real sharp edge.
I just got a RAT-7 and it is a lot better knife; it is super sharp. The BK-7's blade is closer to the RAT-7 than the SRK so I think I would vote for BK-7.

buzzemiah · Oct 31, 2006

I like`em both, but if you reprofile the edge i would chose the SRK.

dulledge2 · Oct 31, 2006

the bk-7 all the way.i have one love it.

misque · Oct 31, 2006

Since the Kraton handle on my SRK has begun to break down into a green, viscous, gel-like substance, I say get the BK-7 and don't look back. Unless you have the gumption to re-handle the SRK, which is not that hard to do.
