Is the 9 still the King?

The 9 shall always be the king, regardless of how many other blades are larger.
 
The Bundok Bowie will rein. There are far more people that will pick it over the RBK. The bk20 will out perform the bk9, but WILL NOT out perform the bk21 in the right hands. Popularity will propel the 20 to the top. All this, and only If Kabar decides to do a larger scale run, and make them a regular item.

only time will tell…

I don't care for the bk21, but I'm still on the fence about the bk20. I think the bk9 might just be ultimate perfection (for chopping).

Im going to need a long weekend of chopping with the bk20 before I say that its the new king.
 
The 20 is a much, much better blade than the 9.

The 9 is a somewhat better prybar than the 20.
 
This debate should be interesting.

the bk20 can be nicknamed "the emperor"...from wikipedia, "Emperors are generally recognized to be of a higher honour and rank than kings."

Mine will get here on Thursday so you'll have to wait until then. But for the 20 to dethrone the BK9 it will have to become a regular production item. If not everyone can buy it than it's not really a better alternative to the BK9. There have always been knives that could chop better than the 9, but I haven't found any that were about the same size, weight, and price.
 
Maybe it's more like Lancelot. He bamgs the Kings wife, then eventually this leads to the Kings demise...
 
To be clear, I was never personally sold on the 9 being the king of the Becker lineup. Yeah, I had a 9. Traded it. I like other Becker blades more for what I do.
