The 10 on the 9. The 9 is wider top to bottom, and has a more angled swedge:

Blade thickness. As you can see, the 10 is thicker than the 9:

Also thanks for the size comparison with the soccer whistle, that helped out alot.

Well atleast you didn't use a purple blanket with dolphins to take pics.....:D

Haha, I was gonna go outside and get some nice photos, but the heat is kicking my butt. This thing is bad ass. Perhaps my favorite Becker now.
 
Awesome warrior. Maybe the compass will guide you to my 3rd bolt :D haha congrats....it feels awesome doesn't it
 
Mine just arrived. actually I have been sleeping so I dont know how long its been outside

good looking blade, much better than the camillus version I have
 
I just talked to my UPS guy and I guess mine should be here next week :(


Congrats Warrior!!!! That is a pretty sweet looking compass BTW :thumbup:
 
Thanks guys. Yes Nick, the compass is killer, lol. It is an awesome bade. I feel very fortunate to be a Beckerhead, and get this amazing deal. I'm in no hurry for the micarta scales. I like the dark look.
 
I'm happy for ya buddy I guess mine will show up on Monday.....one problem I'm leaving town Monday morning and wont be back for 5-6 days! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh hell yes I'm freaking out I'm freaking pissed too! aaaaaahhhhhhhh. ok better now...not really :(
 
BTW, in case you didn't notice the different heading, I added some micarta shots.
 
One of these days, you're going to have to write a book or give a class or something on the art of taking great knife / outdoors photos. Really cool work!

step 1) use a tripod :)

step 2) ask what equipment and lenses are being used

step 3) profit

i'm amused that i can often get National Geographic quality pictures of animals and bugs and stuff, but not so much with knifes 100%. i know many of the reasons why... mostly i don't have liberty to setup large group shots outdoors. too many sheeple, so often, i have to wait for the enough good light coming inside, or overcast days on the porch.

one of my plans involves setting up lots of groups, and photographing them from a distance, with a quality zoom. eliminate certain depth of field issues, as well as other pernicious reflections and lighting concerns. ideal: mounted tripod on 2nd floot pointing to ground, voila. outdoors as a light box.

also: a lot more practice with my equipment :> couldn't hurt. some of my nicest (imho) lenses suffer from depth of field and/or operator error ;) however, those same lenses work magic for me now and again on other subjects, so i know it's not the equipment ;) i esp like taking pictures in "available dark" esp of fire performers.
