Ah..... thanks.........but, this is Ethans house WW...........the bk9 is my favorite Becker knife. It is second to none for what it is. I've seen some amazing things done with one that was nothing short of inspiring as far as a knifemaker goes. Having said that. The M-18 is a whole new animal. You see when you get yours what I'm talking about. Its really in a different catagory than the 9 so I feel it (the 9) would be at a unfair disadvantage, and the very last thing I would ever want to do is discredit Ethan, or the bk9. Because they both kick ass. I don't wish to be compared or compete with either.
Im running out of limbs that need chopping![]()
Ok i understand, i know they are in 2 different classes and everything and i love the bk9 its an amazing knife really and it hasnt failed me once but it is the best chopper i have and i love how the 9 chops. the bk9 is very very capable of chopping with out issue. But being mmy best knife to refrence the M-18 on i thought a comparative review would be good. not to say one is bad or 1 is better but solely for informational reasons. I would never want to discredit anyone or there products. i Am after all a beckerhead and spend alot of time in the becker forum because i love Ethans knives. I wouldnt take away from that. But i will not compare the bk9 to the m-18...... on the board anyway![]()
Wow Moosey. I forgot what #2 looked like. I know what you gonna say. There all the same. Well that's true. But me being the maker I know every little subtle difference and every little tweek I made on each one to make the next one a little better. (At least try anyway) I can see tiny differences on yours. Have you got any woods time with it?
I have used it some, but not as much as I would like. I used it to trim my Rose Bush here. Neighbors are odd folks, all 25 of them that can see my place. Grrrrrr!!!
I had old ladies coming out on their porches to see what I was doing. So, I put it up and went got the pruning shears.
I hate living urbane......

Soooooooooooooooooooo... Interesting li'l story, apparently my old manager's boyfriend threatened to kill her tonight while they were drinking. She decided to be preemptive and ended up getting arrested. She called ME as her one call, and captain sav-a-ho hung up on her ass. I'm quite proud of this.
I talked to Kabar and it seems there will be a care package arriving in the short while. That means I can get some contests rollin' again........
Got some more work done on the scales. New pins tomorrow and some final sanding.
I did have pins in when I epoxied the scales on. The pins are just slightly smaller than the holes I drilled so they didn't grab well so I punched them out and I'll try to find bigger pins tomorrow.
Just grilled a big ole ribeye. Been craving one since Guyons post, so I had to make one. Man was it good. Gf wants me to go watch breaking dawn with her in a bit, so I'm considering pounding a few beers.
