The Bk11/14 is a GREAT knife! Carry my BK11 everyday as neck knife for a few years and I am super pleased. Bought kydex sheath and micarta scales too. Nothing against Esee but here goes: BK11/14 has a slightly better steel composition than Izula with a fantastic Kabar heat treat. If you bought an Izula, you still need micarta and kydex because the handle is thin and the crappy Esee Izula sheaths wear out too. Izula is a great knife in it’s own right but It is simply over priced while the Bk11 is worth every penny when tricked out.
Its a little bit large for a neck knife. This is 1095 Cro-van steel. For the price you can get better steel in similar design by ka-bar. Take a look at the Snake Charmer by KaBar using CPM-S35V steel.
Great video on a cool little knife! Sweet how sharp the blade came. ...especially with that thick stock. I'm Interested in the BK 16. ..thanks for video.
I like this little knife! Like most aftermarket or factory scales, They're almost as much as the knife itself. I will be making a video of the BK16 in the future. Thank you for watching
For extended use I agree with you 100% Ray. I'm also not really a neck knife guy also. But I do like alot of these smaller fixed blades for throwing in a tool bag or on a backpack. Thanks for watching.
with the handles it's nearly 100 bux as a kabar becker fan....I'd have to say no not worth the price when u can literally uy all their knives just about at that price

I absolutely agree! Bought the White River Backpacker Pro instead of the ESEE! These small Beckers are a great value! Thank you for watching

FYI a bench grinder with a wire wheel takes the coating off without scratching the blade, much faster than chemicals.
Thanks for info ! I have an old bench grinder with a wire wheel attached, I'll give it a go on the BK14 I've aquired. Thank you for watching

That’s how I remove the coating from all my knives.
Nice little knife.I just never feel comfortable with little 3 finger handles.Except for opening boxes i probably wouldnt use it.

Bottle opener, not can opener.
