I recently aquired one of the BK&T BK-9 combat bowies via a trade with a fellow forum member. This fellow arrived brand-new in the box, complete with the grease smeared on the blade. Needless to say, I was really blown away with the the sheer impression this knife makes! It's just massive, yet feels very agile in the hand. I was almost to the point of ordering one, as the price just can't be beat, but this trade brought it to me much more quickly.
I have larger hands than most people do, I guess, as I found the handle fit just nicely in mine. I've heard complaints about them being too big and bulky, but for me, they fit perfectly. My only point of note with the grips, is that they get pretty slick if held with cold hands. I just noticed it while sitting outside in the chilly weather, smoking a cigar, and admiring the knife.
I was doing a massive photo-shoot of all the blades in my collection today, and since I'm planning on taking it out for some testing this weekend, I thought I would take some pictures of it in its pristine shape. You'll find them just below, for your viewing pleasure. I'm still experimenting with some lighting for shots, so excuse the dark area towards the rear of the shot. If you all would like, I'll try and get some picks of it in action this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy!
