KA-BAR & Becker BK series?!

[bcknives]

I have been looking around online for a new knife. I already have the BK-2 but I really want a new Bk knife. Which one should I look into getting? They're all great I'm sure but I want a new one, and I thought I would turn to you guys!

First, welcome to Bladeforums.

Second, there is a dedicated subforum for Becker knives, and this one might get moved there. But as long as we're waiting... what do you want to do with it?

Need a chopper? BK-4 or BK-9. Want a utility/hunting knife? BK-15 or BK-17. Bushcraft? BK-16. All around camp blade? BK-5. Survival blade? BK-7. Necker? BK-11 or BK-14. Want to hack the top off a Dodge? BK-3.

It just depends on what you plan to do with it. In my case, I would probably be looking for a thinner blade or a really big one like the BK-9.

BUY THEM ALL!

This.

I have the BK-1 through the BK-17, with the exception of the never-released BK-8. Been thinking of a group shot.

Thanks, I'll start looking for the BK-16 right now!

 

[bcknives]

Trust me I would buy them all in a heart beat! I just don't have the money right now.
Thanks anyways!

Thanks, I'll start looking for the BK-16 right now!

That's the most popular of the latest releases from BK&T--the so-called "Tweeners" or (if you ask Ka-Bar) "Shorts."
The 16 comes in a slicey full-flat grind, and is a great size and shape for bushcraft chores. It's a solid choice.
