Well, after over a week of waiting, got a box this morning. been sort of sitting quietly reading the threads here until I had something to say, so here it is. I bought a knife less than a year ago that made since to me then, but it sure didn't hold up under the pressures of what I needed, but I was able to get three of the thirteen buck I payed for it back yesterday in a yard sale so it wasn't all a loss:thumbup:.
At any rate, after using that one to baton with, I broke the blade collar on it and decided I needed something with a full tang to it,and a little less Rambo like and a whole lot more like get out of the way I'm going to cut that. so I got to looking around and decided on only one knife that fit the bill (sorry no pics just yet I need to reload my software for my handy cam going to do that, here in a few then I'll put some up). But many of you have seen these, anyhow I went for the BK9.
First off this is going to be my main blade for backpacking (and yes I said backpacking). I do not find its weight to be over bearing at all. compared to the cheap Chinese wanna be I just sold for $3.00, this Becker is light and I'm not a big fellow by any means. every thing that I've read or seen about this seems to be all wrong I can't seem to find anything to complain about. there has had to have been some small changes to the sheath since the Camillus days.
I'm not a knife pro or a collector either one but if this is any indication as to what Becker blades are like I'll be getting a couple more. other than the bad press this thing got after hacking away 185 times on a landscaping stepping stone before it broke, that's the only thing I read that was bad about this knife my question is who in the h$@? uses a knife to do masonry work with anyhow?
Sorry for the long winded post I have got to go wipe the tears of joy from my eyes now take some pictures of this knife then go chop something up
