Anyone able to post pics of the 3 smaller BK knives side by side along with something more common for size comparison? I've decided I'd like to get one of the smaller blades to EDC but they look so close to the same to me based on pics I can find online its hard to tell which is right for me...

if you could, a pic of the 11, 13, 14 side by side with any of these others to base size off of.... 2,4,5,9,12,15,16.....preferably the 2, or 16 please....

Also any stories of why one is better than another, which you prefer and why?.....anything to help sway my decision! I sure appreciate it guys!

ATM I'm leaning to the 11 with Micarta but not sold that its exactly the right one....

Thanks!
 
Do they not make handle slabs of any kind for the 13?.....seems I saw a 13 with scales at one point, was I dreaming?
 
My EDC one day, 11 next to a 15

Well...I can see the 14 is not represented here so I'll chime in. Same Blade as the 11 but. Little more handle to grab. I don't have an 11 yet so you'll have to use your imagination to directly compare the two...
 
No photos, but based on my experience with the 11, I'd get a 14/24 easily. The 11 is just too small of a handle for my hands. Others seem to have no problem with the 11, and others say its great with the Micarta.

All I know, is that I EDC a 2.75in bladed folder, and the BK11 feels smaller to me.

So yeah, my vote is for a 14/24 with the handle scales. Should be more comfortable, and cheaper too (the zytel scales cost less than the 11's micarta).
 
11 gets my vote, one of my very favorite knives. Plus it has a bottle opener, that makes it a winner right there!
 
I had to make a small modification to the handle of my 11(s); but I find I prefer it over the 14/24.
No direct comparison pics readily available; but my family photo shows the 11, 14, and 24 along with a couple other Beckers.
 
If I had a 17 this might be perfect. (Good thing it's next on my list!) the 2 is mid range in my opinion so it apts as well. The 14 is the same blade length as the 24/11 so I got u covered there.

well, I finally made a decision and placed an order.... end result, an 11 with micarta, a 14 with handle scales, and 2 CRKT minimalists, the bowie style and the wharncliffe.....also picked up a Cold Steel Super Edge.......when in doubt, grab a handful and try em all out yourself I always say LOL

Thanks for all the pics guys.... I expect that the 11 will be the new EDC with one of the CRKT or cold steel playing backup in the neck position...

:o)

That's one way to decide. Hopefully you find out what works for you.

Oh, and if you need any more help spending your money, I could use a BK16 ;).
 
^you won't be disappointed with the purchase. The 14 is one of my favorite "at work" knives. I'd love to use my 16 instead or even the 2 for that matter but I work in the most PC place in the world and I bet they'd gripe offer the extra 3/8th of an inch. In Florida I can conceal carry any "common pocket knife" 4" and below. So my work goes by that. At least they let me.
