Opinions on the 7?

Just out of curiosity why did you grind the edge down (or up?) that high. Or is it just from hard use/alot of sharpening?

Personal preference. Not sure if you are asking why the ground edge is so wide, or why the blade is so narrow. The cutting edge has been raised some 3mm, the clip point has been ground more ski-slope-ish, all in an effort to bring it closer to the traditional KaBar that this knife was designed to replace.
Pointy is good...
 
Have you looked at the Doug Ritter RSK Mk2 Perseverance? Google it.

Doug started with the the BK7, worked with Ethan Becker to modify the blade shape, got approval from Kabar to make it, and its made by Rowan Manufacturing - the same folks who make the TOPS & ESEE knives.
 
I had the Camillus BK7, it was my 2nd Becker...my first was the Camillus BK10. Then I got a BK9, BK11, BK13, BK2. I traded the BK10 & 7 off sometime ago :o Wish I would have kept'em both ! BUT the BK9 was/is my all time favorite Becker !
