Your BK&T knife

Hands down, my 16. great blade

BK16. This BK16.

During the first gathering we got to see the initial tweener designs, the first ones that would later become the production models. This was the first time I met Ethan, and a few of some of the other Beckerheads. This was a weekend of a lot of the groundwork being laid for what the future would bring.

The 16 was something that fit, not when I first handled one, but when I was able to buy one. When I first handled one, I wasn't there in terms of skill or experience. I wasn't able to do as much with a knife that size versus something larger.

This knife has seen it all, done it all, ever since it found it's way to my hand. I have others, saber ground models without that horrible laser lettering across it, but those ones aren't this one. This one is special. It is MY knife. And it is perfect.

DerekH, does that mean you prefer a saber grind 16 in general?

DerekH, does that mean you prefer a saber grind 16 in general?

Absolutely. But it isn't based on logic or performance so much as just this idea that I like it better than the full flat ground 16. It doesn't slice as well. It weighs more. However, the saber ground one makes me happier. I have used the full flat, it works great, it is a fantastic knife. But I prefer the saber ground.
