Nice cam9 Jonny. Is that the 1/4 thick model?
I though I remembered seeing a pic of a flattened 9 at one point. Nice one.

I purchased my very own BK-9 yesterday. All thanks to this thread!

These are the first pictures (I think) that I've posted of my 9 since I added my spacers. I used the lid from a bucket of chain. The plastic makes the handle nice and thick, but the strap of the stock sheath can still, barely, snap around it.

It would be kewl if there was a way to magically put a BK9 into a rock like Excaliber.
Two things:
1. The BK9 could probably go through a rock if it was tried hard enough.
2. Excaliber would get awfully jealous to have such competition going on.

I'll bet it still has that new knife smell, just filling up your dwelling with the promise of things soon to be chopped....
A new arrival from yesterday. Did a little QC testing this morning. The tip did not have an even grind but not worried for a big knife like this as long as no strength issues. So I stabbed tip into hickory log cross section several times, even drove a little deeper some by pounding the pommel a few times with wooden baton. No issues with tip of blade. Next just a quick batoning of a 4" inch or so split log to test this out. Pics are below. It was nice, straight grain piece of wood so no issues expected and none encountered.
I was a little surprised that this removed a little of the blade coating - especially what I have heard about new coating - but not concerned. My other BKs with new coating (5, 16, 10) were either stripped before using or have not been used for wood processing so no other experience. I'll let the coating hang in there as long as it will on this one and strip at some time when most of the coating is gone.
I said I was not going to do this (get a BK9). After all I have a Condor Hudson Bay. Why do I need a 9? But when a certain mail order, large online sporting goods only retailer drop its price to match that of the river store AND I had enough credit card loyalty points to get it for FREE
how could I resist?
