New(to me) BK9 my first Becker

[hig789]

Hey guys I just received my first Becker in the mail today. It's a BK9. I was looking for a nice big blade that I could really just use for anything, mainly just tearing stuff up. I stumbled on to this one on another forum and it was priced too good to pass up. I love it and haven't even chopped anything yet. I would like to strip the coating off of it too what's the best stuff to use. I will post pics shorty too. And oh yeah thuris is the one wih the bk13 in the sheath an I don't know why you would need anything more than these two knive on a day in the woods.

good catch, hig!
You might also want a small knife big enough to get your whole hand on. Fortunately Ethan's got those covered too.

I already planning on a BK2.

Only a 2? You mean first or next is a 2 then a 5, 7 , 14 / 11, 4, 3 if you're into that sort of thing, & eventually the mighty 1 & 6 & if you're really lucky a 10 LE.
Welcome to the addiction!

Hey Helghast (ok, if you didnt get that joke, the enemies from the game Killzone are called Helghast and nicknamed "Higs"), if you wanna strip of the coating read this:

My 1st becker was also a 9,i used paint stripper to get the coating off and put a patina on,the paint thinner should be around 10-14$ and is foamy and will give off a foul odour.
