I know the BK2 is great for processing wood with it's uber-thick .25" thick blade, but as far as batoning is concerned, the blade excels and falls a bit short, pun intended, due to the blade length; you are limited to how thick a piece of tree you can chop.
The BK9 looks like it's a chopping & batoning champ due to the king kong blade real estate available but the length makes it harder/difficult to process the smaller pieces of wood for kindling.
So does that automatically place the crown on the BK7 because it's in between these two? I think the drawback of the BK7 compared to the BK2 is the BK7's anorexic blade (only when held next to the BK2), so for all intents and purposes, the 7 is in-between these two in sense of blade length.
And when you're out and about for a length of time, how many knives in total do you carry?
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
