Machax or bk9?

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

Doc

Don't need it, but tempted.......very tempted.

9 for me mainly bc i do not own a machax. i do not like kuri style blades either. feels funny with the weight forward unbalanced feel.. besides, i have a machete anyway

I like the Machax.

As a user said above me, the BK9 would be far easier for food prep and sharpen. The Machax looks fun as hell though, but it seems to be more of a hardcore tool than it is survival knife. Just my thoughts.

If you want the knife for general woodscraft, I'd say Machax, that's the ultimate woodsman's knife.

The BK9 is more versatile, and easier to sharpen.

I have both, and right now the Machax gets more use, except in the kitchen.
