It took me a long time to make the decision between a 16 and 17. I like the strength of the drop point, but sometimes the "pointyness" of a clip comes in handy. I do quite a bit of big game hunting and thinking about caping out around the tear ducts of the big muley buck I am going to shoot this fall finally pushed me over the edge and I went for the 17. That pointy tip will make caping a little easier than the dropper. For how I intend to use the knife I think the 17 is the ticket. Tough call. If I love it, I might still have to pick up a 16 someday just to have one.

It will be joining my ever growing Becker Family. I know I know, freaking safe queens.

P.S. I also have a $100 gift card for a large outdoor retailer that doesn't stock many Ka-Bar knives, but does happen to sell the BK 9, so I think that is my next becker purchase.

A very wise choice. :thumbup:
 
My 17 is growing on me.

Hard.

So hard in fact, that I've been spending more time with it than my 16.

Took it E's this last week, used it, and am falling head over heels with it.

Depending on some future possibilities, it very well may become, my favorite BKT Short.

I was anticipating the release of the 17 more than any other tweener, and once I got it in my hands I was even happier with it than I though I would be. It's damn near the perfect EDC knife. You made the right decision.

And grab that 9 as well. You'll love it.

Glad to hear it! Should make selling me your saber ground 16 much easier. :D
