I got my BK2 less then a week ago, and already have spent an additional $70 modding it, now should I get the BK7 or the BK14? Heard only amazing things about the BK7 but I feel like a I need a smaller knife for finer task, any thoughts or suggestions?
P.S. Not sure why I added an "s" on the end of addiction.
My suggestion?
1. Make a list of all BK knives.
2. Draw a line through any BK knives you already own.
3. Buy which ever knife is at the top of the list that doesn't have a line through it.
4. Repeat until all BK knives have a line drawn through them.
5. Start over at Line 1, drawing a line through any BK knife that you already have 2 of.
6. Repeat Lines 1 through 5, incrementing the integer in line 5 by 1 until you have no more money.
Relatively new to knifes and the whole EDC concept, but really a fixed blade for EDC?
Yes!!! (if legal in your area).
Why carry a fixed blade as an EDC... (all reasons are my own opinions)
First, fastest deploying knife -- pull it out and its ready to be used, no buttons to push, no locks to unlock, no springs or pivot pins to fail.
Second -- no locks to engage or fail, no pivots to fail, which usually (not always) can lead to minor to severe blood-letting.
Third -- no hinges or knife groove to clean dust, dirt or pocket lint out of.
Fourth -- the pommels of many (not all) fixed blades provide a very handy hard point for emergency vehicle side window glass breaking.
I carry 3 fixed blades as EDCs, a pair of Kabar 1232s, 1 on each side and a BK11 in my left hip pocket. Why that many? My reasoning behind a minimum of 2 fixed blades has been stated in several threads. Search "Kabar 1232s" to find the story. I carry the 11 so I always have a Becker to take a picture with for the Becker Scavenger Hunt thread, always have a bottle opener when I need it, makes a great peanut butter, jelly, mustard, etc spreader. Has a stouter blade than the 1232s heavy cardboard cutting. And .......
