Today I went to my local Army/Navy Surplus on a mission to buy my first BK! I had it narrowed to the 5, 7 or 9. After holding all three, I decided on the 7. LOVE this blade!! And, if it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't even know what BK even was! ........and so the sickness begins. :cool:

Wait. You're telling me you held a BK9 and bought something else instead?!? You're doing it wrong. You need a BK9. You can't not have a 9. I don't know what it is with you kids these days and not having BK9's. I think it's all that VH1 rotting your brains or something. Back in my day we didn't dare go around not having a BK9.
 
Nice knife! Congratulations on your first Becker!
A wise decision indeed.
As a new Becker owner, you'll be amazed at what's in store for you:

-Women will want you. Men will want to be you.
-Colors will be brighter
-Food will taste better
-You can run faster and jump higher
-You'll be 78% less likely to be attacked by a rogue gorilla.

These are facts of your new life now. (Bighoss did the fact checking...)
Enjoy!

You forgot one, but I fixed it for you.

But seriously, keroscene, it's too late to run away now. Accept the fact that you'll be back for more. Embrace your destiny...

And congrats on the purchase!
 
thank you all! I'll DEF get the 9 next....trust me. It was a very hard (that's what she said) decision, but the 9 was a bit big to be in my bag (that's what she said, again) and tote around with me. HOWEVER, the 9 is in my sights for the very near future! Thanks for all the grats and this baby has already been used and will continue to be used constantly.

Still laughing at this post!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Congrats man!! Nice blade. And welcome fellow Texan.

And don't listen to them..... Get a BK-11 or a BK-16 next. The BK-9 can wait.

That way you can EDC it and really get the Becker Fever.
 
the 7 was a gift from a forum member here to me and I love that knife. I've thumped on her a little bit and let me tell you that is a very capable blade. The guy who gave it to me told me the blade was kind of light so it wouldn't be the best chopper, but I've chopped with it, heck the other day, a frantic family member called me , and because it got so cold here water pipes were bursting like crazy , well my Grandmother called and said her house was pouring water, all I had in the car was a bk-7 , I had to dig the valve out of about 6 inches of frozen earth to get her water off and the 7 dug it like a champ, then I had to bust a hole in her wall where I suspected the leak was coming from and again the 7 handled it like a champ. Great knife. I had also chipped the factory edge on it, so I hit it with a diamond hone coarse grit, I think 10-20 passes got the chips out, and I love a polished coarse edge now , so I got the cleanest edge I possibly could off the diamonds, then stropped the edge MAYBE 4 times per side , Well the 7 is the first knife to ever cut me using he 3 finger test for edge sharpness, so now we are bonded for life.

I did. Unfortunately those only apply to people who do it right and don't not not have a BK9.

Thanks for that. When deciding how soon to get a BK9, it's important to remember just how annoying I can be. And that if you don't have one, the terrorists win. Do it for the children!

This is heresy. I miss the days when we could burn people at the stake for such wickedness. The BK9 comes before all else, even food and beer. All this not having a BK9 is what's wrong with the world today. When I was your age that kind of thing wasn't tolerated and we were all better off for it. Nowadays people just walk around not having BK9's and it's not only tolerated but openly celebrated. It's just madness!
 
Welcome to the addiction, and good call on the bk7.

My first was a bk2 and I still love it. Ill second the recommendation to get a bk11 next as you can carry it as an EDC and further increase your dependence on Becker knives for basic function in everyday life.

I have a BK11 that rides horizontal on my weak side on weekends, a BK13 vertical on my weak side during weekdays (my workplace has a knife overall length restriction), and the BK2 when I go camping, hiking, canoeing, etc...

Next on the list is a BK4 Machax for a true one blade solution (that's my rationalization haha) and for hack-and-squirt operations on Tree-of-Heaven and Autumn Olive on the property and volunteer work for the National Forest.






As you can see, Becker knives are as addiction as hardcore drugs, they bring with them serious dependence...


It's a beautiful thing
 
just had my first bit 'o fun w/ the 7. this blade is BEYOND what i expected! it laughed at this wood and remained hair-shaving sharp! Again, thank you all for the recommendations.

@bigghoss - if it makes you feel better about society, I can't get the 9 outta my head now! must.....save....$$.......

@dex and blackhawk - I really did like the 11 also. Couldn't imagine having this kind of bladed power on my hip at all times! I might try to overthow congress and become the first american dictator! Or at least really believe i'm bullet-proof :D

You forgot another one:

As an owner of a BK7, if you're attacked by some that has a BK9, you won't win. Sorry. That's just the way that it is.

You NEED a 9. Like now. No, I mean RIGHT NOW! But you say, "Oh, I don't need it right now. I don't have the money for another quite yet." But you NEED one. You need one more than you need bacon, in fact, you need one more than you need any kind of food, bacon or otherwise!

The 9 is King.






All hale the KING!



If you want a smaller knife, get a 17.



Necker? BK14.



Folding knife? Folding BK13.



Really, you need a 1,2,3,4, (5,6&8 if you can find them) a 9,10,11,12,13,14, and a 24.
