Yeah, that'll happen sometimes. I like to dab a bit of thread locker on the bolts, which adds a bit of security.it's just nice
10-32 5/8 I think I read in the faq when I go to town next
I always found it funny the Blue thread locker comes in a red tube and the red threadlocker (permanent one) comes in a blue tube. What the hell loctite...
that's why they made purple for dummies like me
Whats the difference in Blue and Purple? Is blue just slightly stronger...
That’s my take yes
What method have you found best to field sharpen your Bk9?processed some kindling and chopped up some cut offs earlier
have only used a tri-hone and the sharpmaker at home. I have a worksharp field sharpener that would do the trick if I was away from my garage. probably speaks to the heat treat and geometry of the 9 but it hasn't needed a lot of attention yet
I could see that, My bk2 and bk16 both have great edge retention as long as I stick to wood. Even batoning pretty big stuff they stay razor sharp with just a stropping for days.

A BK15 with micarta scales!
I will get some time using and snapping some pics.... it's a beauty. For the life of me I can't figure out why this was discontinued. It's an incredibly practical design.
