-  I have wanted to review the Becker BK 9 for quite some time, and I am very impressed! In this video, I provide three reasons why I believe this is a great combat blade. #kabar #bowieknife #combatknife

It's my go to knife. I have had it for around 10 years. I love it!
I've had that knife for years and of ALL the knives I own, it would my my FIRST CHOICE for a LAST DITCH KNIFE!! It is an ABSOLUTE BEAST!!
Indeed brother! I was loving it haha
I've got a bk7 that I've taken camping a bunch and backpacking once too. I got aftermarket kydex sheath that holds it tight and micarta handles and now it's perfect and I can slice, carve and chop with it for hours. I wouldn't mind having all the sizes of bk knives but I figured the 7 inch was a good all around starting point and it's definitely held up and impressed me. Thanks for the video and enjoy your bk9 for years to come 👍
Great review. Thanks for the hockey tape tip. I'll be putting it on several of my knives.
I own three of this series, they can't beat.
Five or six small Ranger bands on this and you have great gripping power in any condition.
I love my bk9
Such a monster blade!
I’ve had my BK-9 for a while. It’s great for camping and bushcraft!
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Excellent video and information!
I purchased a kydex sheath for mine and slipped a bicycle inner tube cut to fit over the handle. For 78 dollars I couldn't go wrong that and the bk7 is all the knives you need.
It's funny. After I got my heavy club and I started doing inside circles, outside circles, and 180 pullovers, my Natchez bowie and my wakizashi started feeling like toys. I think heavy clubs would be great for you. As far as I know, it's the only way to load a throwing pattern.
Thanks ❤
Brother I always love your videos. I’ve already been fond of this knife but your review made me appreciate it more. Keep up the good work bro
Thank you!
I actually had my eye on that K Bar for awhile now because of the looks of it, I always loved all black knives.
What I like is: if you have a bk9 and a 4” bushcraft knife in your pack you have all the edged tools you need for survival or camping.
I always wanted one of these things
I respect u and ur channel...to big for combat...iam up in age.my sgt told me decades ago the best knife fighter never beat a bullet.great vidio .
Thanks my friend 🙂
cool
I bought two of these BK-9 Knives a few years ago. They are an impressive blade. This knife is actually very customizable. I know that some have removed the handle scales and installed a Paracord handle.
I like the idea of the tape for added grip. I was thinking about cutting some like bike inner tube and fit that over the handle for grip. You can use a Dremel tool and reconfigure the handle scales to gain extra grip. As long as you are careful it would have to be shallow work though. I always meant to use one of my blades and strip the coating and engrave it chemically. And do some kind of stone wash to it but so far I never got around to it. Just too busy with some other things.
I really like the knife it does feel great in the hand. You can definitely rely on this blade whether you require it for survival or for use in a combat scenario. It comes with a nice enough nylon sheath. But I would prefer a Kydex sheath. They should have it as an option.
Own it, love it,
Cool
Beast Mode!
Beast of a Blade 👍
Great looking hunk of steel.
Excellent video...I applaud your knife skills, having 3 of them with your throwing skills would make you one helluva threat, that thing looks like it could sever a grizzly's snout off with a swipe. Great video and review of an excellent combat survival tool. Thank you
Thank you kindly my friend!
That's one of the best knives out there Daniel... Great video too btw!!!
Thanks my bro!
I have the BK2, BK5, BK7, and BK9. All are great knives.
For self defense I wouldn't pick any of them (since there are far better choices for that) but if I had to, the BK5 or BK7 would be best for that because they are lighter and quicker in the hand than the others.
Love em all
I have the BK-16 with a micarta grip,the BK-2 ,bk7 with micarta grip, two BK-9 and two BK-21 Reinhardt Kukris. ohh i have the remora too, that fits in the sheat of the BK-7 and 9. I like them all.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks my bro!
Tthe BK-9 is a knife I should have purchased by now but you can bet I will be getting two of those ASAP
and Mr.Ethen Becker real knows knofe designing and I do own the BK-21 made of the CroVan 1095 hc
blade steel so I feel you can not go wrong with any blade made and designes by Mr.Becker & Ka-Bar ⚔️
Reach and balance makes it
I have the BK7, which is a great option if you want the same construction but just 2" shorter.
I have the original ""Brute" . Awesome blade.
Thanks for the video, it was a reminder! Always wanted one and somehow it drifted out of my thoughts. Don't know if it's just me, but the links don't work for me and I had to find them the old fashion way.
“I just bust’em up” 💪✍️
Practice makes one practical 🧠🌊🥋Respect✊
👊👊
Even though Bk2 is my favorite, I will be adding the bk 9 to my list
Thank you for the video brother. I love your channel. I think that is a beast of a knife, you're pretty darn good at throwing it too. I like the dull finish the blade length and the look and design. It is versatile. It can be used for Bushcraft, throwing practice, can use as a machete for chopping things and could be used for self-defense. I think Michael Myers would be depressed; he got his chip chop don't stop machete from Walmart 50% off. Ya see Mike, cutting corners on quality isn't always smart. ☹️😂 Thanks for the review I'm going to seriously think about purchasing one. God bless you. 🙏🕊️✝️😎👍✌️
You as well my bro!
@@411Outdoors Thank you Chief. 👍
I love my BK9! To all the haters out there, The sheath is just fine bro.
This blade is incredible and yep the sheath works fine 🙂👍👍
The BK-9 is a great Survival Tool! I absolutely luv mine. It does all of my Tough Knife Work! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I own two …😂❤ keep up the great work 😊
Thanks my friend!
For some reason I could not get your link to Tomar’s KaBars to load. I own several KaBars from but not limited to the BK9, BK5 Becker Magnum Camp, KaBar Warthog and about half a dozen others. Really liked your video on one of my all time favorites!
Thank you so much I’ll drop the link again right herem.tomarskabars.com/?url=tomarskabars%2Ecom%2F#2710
Its a good knife for sappers b/c it can be used as a chopper. Though I have been in knife fights & the Becker series is a bit heavy for fighting a lighter more dedicated weapon. That lack of speed compared to the enemy will get you got. Just some advice from someone who has the scars to justify his opinions.
I have always seen these things is more of an ambush type of thing
I got my two milspec tactical knives tanto and spear point yesterday and I have tobsay I am a little disappointed on the grip of the tanto. I think it could use a bit more contouring near the finger choial.
Oh, man,
Finally, the first review that describes this knife in a "combative" perspective ...
I'm tired of reviews where the guys just chop some wood, make a fire (bitching about how bad is bk9 to spark a fire steel bla bla )
So, the blade isn't that bad, from self-defence / combat pov ?
@@lucianbrad4291 for real I get so tired of combat knife being reviewed in the bush haha
@@411OutdoorsYeah, indeed !
Those kinds of reviews are sort of comparing apples with oranges ...
In my opinion, all decent reviews (like yours) should begin with :"what is the intended purpose of this knife ?"
And let the story develop from that point ...
Obviously, there are so many different kinds of knives - and it is somewhat stupid to try "measuring" them by the same ruler ....
It's a beast for sure. For some reason though If I was going to ever buy a Becker I just really like the look of the BK7 for some reason??
It is sweetI
The Becker looks like a very useful blade for many task. Thanks for the good video on this knife. Are you familiar with the ka- Bar TDI knives? I have both sizes and was wondering what you think of them.
I love the TDI! I haven’t got one yet because I’m not sure how I would carry it.
THE URL'S LISTED ARE WRONG!! -- PLEASE CORRECT! Try substituting "www" for the "m" in the front.

Click Becker knives and look for the BK9 and let me know if this works
If not google search Tomar’s KaBars and click on the Becker Knives button. You’ll see it under there. It’s all good friend, links may not always work
That will get some work done!!!! Have you ever done a review of the cold steel special forces shovel? It looks like a good thrower and decent chopper, considering it is a shovel. It’s around 30-35 dollars.
I have not I need to check out one of those shovels👍👍
I would like it more if it had a guard between the blade and the handle to prevent my hand from sliding up onto the handle when I am doing stabbing-like activity and the handle is covered with a slippery red liquid.
"Slipping up onto the BLADE"
Bruh,You are a combat beast 🤣🤣💪
👊👊🫡
Can you review the 1095 case fixed blades?
I will definitely keep that in mind you got me curious.
Awesome review. Very sympathic and well spoken.
Thanks for it!
Yesterday I got my BK9 and I'm pround of it.
Regards from Germany

It looks like it would be good at splitting wood using another stick of wood to drive it down thru a log to start a fire with. And it's thick enough to handle what you want to use it for, and my only concern is how well does it hold its edge.
It’s a pretty durable blade and I heard that this type of 1095 is not too hard to sharpen
Thank You for sharing! Does anybody scout carry a knife like this or similar just wondering how that would carry?
Something this big would be hard to scout carry unless it was a very large individual and they did it across their back. Upright and down the leg is all I can gather.
@411Outdoors that's what I was thinking. What about a field environment where your not worried about concealing? Would it be too heavy?
I study Arnis, espade y doga …. The BK 9 is the doga on my belt
I do not know, if you know this. But, the tang under the handle scales has been skeletonized, to reduce weight I guess. So there are two cut outs under the handle scales. With that grip tape on the handle you wont be able to get the snap strap on the sheath closed. As far as a point goes. My Condor Moonshiner, Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie knife, and my Cold Steel Scottish Dirk beat the BK9 hands down. I see the BK9 as a hack and slash weapon. As for other chores, I would not try to clean a fish with it :) Stay sharp and have a nice day :)
Thank you for the info!
Are the handles skeletonized?
I think it does have some skeletonized parts from what I gather
Have found that the BK2 that is skeletonized is its weak point and have seen many breaks there while batoning. I have a prototype BK2 that is solid and made from O1 tool steal with no hammer pommel.@@411Outdoors
Links don’t work
m.tomarskabars.com/?url=tomarskabars%2Ecom%2F
Click under Becker Knives and you’ll see the BK 9
Funny thing: I'm not really a big knife guy.
... but everytime I see the BK7 or the BK9, it turns my head fast.
I think it’s something about their simplicity and solid nature
STICK AROUND 😂😂😂😂💪
😂💯👊
I personally carry my bk2 daily but I carry my bk9 in the woods
Good combo! 🙂🙂
Thanks mate. Hey- could you possibly do a video recommending a knife for us ladies for beside the bed. You see, in Australia, we have increasing home invasions, and we are not allowed to have guns for self protection in our homes. Secondly I would love it if you did a video not only with some knife recommendations for women, but (if it is something you know about)- then including an honest appraisal of just how much training a woman should really get to be able to wield it properly. A policewoman told me straight to my face- if you are going to have a weapon, it can be even more dangerous than not having one, IF you don’t know how to get in quick with it -because the rapist / killer in your house will just take it off you and use it on you. Thanks for your videos
Thank you for sharing! I just saved this comment. I will most definitely think about some content in this area.🙂
Thank you for considering this. If its not right fir your channel , no worries. Ive got alerts on, so ill be up to date
She is right about the gun laws here in Australia. But it's also just as illegal to use a knife . And also you need training to use any weapon. As for the crime rate it is down in general but up in certain areas . For example low economic areas . Compared to most places it is quite safe Here in Australia .
@@davidheath2427Indeed it is safer here, David, when you compare it to other places. But its so much worse than when i was young in the 1950s. Find it unrecognisable. The country too. Up with my other lady friend around Shepparton. The (drug) ice contributes. Hey, I didn’t know that it was illegal for me to use a knife in my own home on an aggressor. True? And yep- you’re SO right about needing the plenty training. I know people are really naive about that.
Cool knife but it's too heavy for combat and the blade width is too wide for stabbing.
Seems more of an ambush type situation. Big swings and such. Iff you had I would run haha
skeletonized tang, that's a pity
I haven’t taken the scales off. I had never known of these having skeletonized tangs. Is it very skeletonized ?
I still think it's weird how in America you pronounce Bowie as Booee. I think the name is originally Scottish, but calling David Bowie David Booee just sounds wrong on all levels.
Haha! The English language is jacked up and I’m southern on top of that
I would not carry that into combat. There's not really anything I like about this knife.
To each as their own👍👍 its loved and hated by many.
I agree either would i...
AND ON GOES THE MOST OVER RATED KNIFE EVER MADE! IT IS NO GOOD FOR PREPPING GAME, NO GOOD FOR SMALL FINE WORK, BUT LIKE SO MANY ALWAYS SAY, IT'S A GREAT CHOPPER! WELL ANY AXE WILL DO A BETTER JOB AT THAT. COMBAT BEAST? NAH A SMALLER BLADE WILL BE AGAIN BETTER, AND WHAT COMBAT IS THE AVERAGE JOE BLOW GOING TO TAKE PART IN? AS THE SAYING GOES, DON'T BRING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT! NOW IT LOOKS GOOD, BUT SO DID MY EX WIFE, AND SHE GOT THE BOOT YEARS AGO. IF YOU WANT AN ALL CAN DO KNIFE, IT NEEDS TO BE SMALLER, THINNER IN BLADE THICKNESS, THE BK7 IS A WAY BETTER KNIFE IF YOU WANT A BECKER, I HAVE LOST COUNT OF ALL THE FOOLS I HAVE SEEN WITH THEIR SURVIVAL VIDEOS BASHING THEIR BK9 TO SPLIT WOOD, FOR SHITE SAKE, GET AN AXE! STILL THINK IT IS A COMBAT BEAST? TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SPECIAL FORCES USE AS A BLADE, SMALLER, LIGHTER MAKES IT FASTER TO HANDLE, LESS WEIGHT TO CARRY, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON, BUT DOUBT MOST ON HERE WILL EVEN GET WHY IT IS A NICE WALL HANGER AT BEST.
It’s all about the context of how its used.
BUT THE BK9 IS LIMITED AT BEST, SHOW ME WHAT A MARINE HAS AS A KNIFE, I DID NOT HAVE A BLADE THAT LARGE ON ME WHEN I WAS ON MY LETS SAY CRUSADE AGAINST THE CAMEL RIDERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, EVER TRIED CUTTING UP A FISH WITH A BK9? SKIN THAT BUNNY, DRESS THAT DEER? THAT LEAVES CHOPPING WOOD, AGAIN GET AN AXE, IT WAS INVENTED FOR THAT ROLE. I DOUBT MOST ONLINE WILL EVER GET PAST THE EGO FACTOR, THE SIZE OF THAT BK9 ALWAYS SUCKS IN THOSE THAT WATCH TO MANY RAMBO FILMS, APPLY IT IN THE REAL WORLD OUT IN THE BUSH AND YOU SOON WILL GET SOMETHING MORE APPLICABLE. @@411Outdoors
AHA, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE AVERAGE JOE ON HERE, AND YES A SWORD WOULD BE BETTER ONE ON ONE, WELL PROVEN, BUT THE CIVIL WAR HAD MUSKETS OR SINGLE FIR FIRE ARMS, UNLIKE TODAY. BUT THE BK9 MIGHT BE USED IN COMBAT, THAN I OR YOU WITH A SWORD WOULD WIN RULING THE BK9 AS A FAIL COMBAT WISE. NOW IF YOU LOOK AT A KNIFE FOR SURVIVAL, ALL AROUND USE, THE BK9 IS OUT DONE BY MANY KNIVES THAT ARE SHORTER/SMALLER. I AM SURE YOU HAVE HUNTED, AND FISHED, TRY USING THAT BK9 TO DRESS A DEER, TRY PREPPING THAT FISH FOR DINNER WITH THAT BK9, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. AND WHEN I WAS ON MY CRUSADE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, NONE OF US HAD A KNIFE THE SIZE OF A BK9, EVEN MARINES WOULD LAUGH AT YOU IF THAT'S WHAT YOU TAKE INTO REAL COMBAT, HEAVY AND SLOW TO WIELD TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT HEY GO AND BUY IT, I HAVE SEVERAL KNIVES AS BIG AS THE BK9, BUT YOU HAVE TO USE A BIG BLADE FOR WHAT IS MADE FOR, HOW MANY ON HERE HAVE SEEN COMBAT OR EVER WILL? A BLADE IS A LAST RESORT WEAPON, THE MAIN PURPOSE OF A BLADE IS STILL CUTTING, PREPPING GAME/FOOD, WHEN IT COMES TO COMBAT I PREFER SOMETHING WITH A TRIGGER, LONG ARM FIRST, SHORT AS BACK UP, THAN MAYBE A KNIFE, BUT IF YOU GO INTO COMBAT AND HAVE TO GO FROM LONG, TO SHORT AND STILL NEED A KNIFE YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, OR 6 FOOT UNDER. AND THE CAPS, I HAVE REASONS FOR IT, MAIN REASON, TO GET FLAKES TO BITE ☺@@Chris-eo9kh
50 WORDS WASTED I GUESS, GO AND BUY THAT HUGE KNIFE, AND TELL ME ALL ABOUT THE COMBAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE. AND YEAH YOU BIT HARD, BUT DON'T DESPAIR, LOTS OF OTHER FLAKES DO AS WELL @@Chris-eo9kh
Stick.around lol.
😂
John matrix would be proud
