Machax or bk9?

[Tin.Man]

What say you fine folk?

Its purely for fun, as I have no NEED for a big knife. Which would you rather have?

Thanks for the help

Let me go ahead and speak for everyone:

BOTH!!

 

[Bladite]

machax of course

 

[tincansurvival]

Having a 9 (and loving it) I would have to say Machax...I want to know if it's really what they say it is!

I have both, use both, love the 9, but have been leaning towards the 4 recently. I had no "need" for a big knife until I "needed" a big knife. Now I'm glad I've got some big knives.

I also have both, and while the 9 is a nice knife, it's Machax all the way for me.

The 9 is great however there is a coolness factor while using the Machax. It could be that the Machax is the current "latest and greatest." I still find myself going back and forth between the two.

Machax. Just to scare the sheeple with

I was expecting to hear BK-5 instead but NOOO! hahaha

 

[trailbum]

Machax.

I've got both and there is no contest when it comes to the 'fun' factor. Machax all the way, due to the goofy shape. Of course it's an added bonus that the thing works darn well.

If you don't own a Becker, get the 9 first. It's like a gateway drug for the Machax.

Both!

Bk9...

 

[cleans up]

I'd take the 9, it'll be easier to sharpen and it's traditional blade will work better for food prep. Sure it's a chopper but I think what it might lose to the matchax it makes up in versatility

 

[GODSPEED TACTICAL]

The BK9 is numero uno for me.... don't even touch the others since I got it.

I have a 9, no machaxe but a few khukuri's with similar ergo's.
Go for the 9, besides chopping stuff it is a very usable "butcher knife" in the kitchen. Like a 21st century version of the old mountain man's big butcher knife that was used for everything under the sun.
If I can find a way to buy(cheaply) or make a decent kydex for my 9 the trailmaster would see a lot less carry.

 

[UCPOPO]

Either one......and then the other

 

[Chameleonbear]

Get both, then take the handles off, and put them together. Have the ultimate in double bladed death for shrubbery! You also need to de-ramp and choil though...

I have both and I like the 9 better I find it easy to use and versatile ,but like I said i have both so get the 9 then later when money allows get the Machaxe .I use the BK9 more than any other outdoor knife .
