My 9

[willworship]

BK9 that is.

Just thought I'd share. The micarta that I acquired from the auction site a few years ago was a little more suited for Ka-bar era Beckers, so it's not an exact fit, but it's close. The light makes it look worse than it is. I'll probably clean up the fit a little more, though. I love this beast. All .210" of it.

(Sorry for the crappy pics. I had just about finished the handles and wanted to get a few shots. I'll get some better ones up soon.)

Nice n' clean man, I dig it!

Very classy. I love de-ramped nines.

Thicker is better in my opinion, but that KaBar BK9 swedge is top notch. I also the the non thumb-ramped, jimped look. Thanks for sharing.

I gotta ask, is de-ramping a 9 primarily for looks (and don't get me wrong, it looks great) or does it also help with the use/ergonomics of the knife?

Purely aesthetic.
