My BK-9 finally arrived!! Thank you Ethan (and Amazon)! I love this thing!! It came shaving sharp and it is much nimbler in hand than I expected from pictures. I also expected it to be a little larger for some reason, which makes no sense because I know how long 9 inches is haha. I can feel how awesome of a chopper it's going to be, looking forward to testing it out in the next couple days if I have time.
On a side note, what's the big deal about the sheath? It feels like it's going to work JUST fine and it even has a front pocket. If I have extra money for it one day I might buy a leather sheath but IMO it's not a prudent issue.
But back to the point (no pun intended), I was fondling my new 9 after I took it out of the box and I guess I totally underestimated how sharp the tip is!! All I did was accidentally graze it past my arm and it opened up a little cut. It's not a big deal, just a scratch, but it was deep enough to be dripping blood down my arm before I realized it. The King demands respect right from unboxing, I guess!!
Sorry about pic quality, my girlfriend 'misplaced' the camera so all I have is my phone:
Now...strip it right away or beat some of it off first?
