Becker BK7 & BK9 - First Impressions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 фев 2016
- As I gain experience with fixed blades, and through the recommendation of fellow RUclips personalities, such as Chris Tanner of Preparedmind 101, I finally bought my own Becker BK7 and BK9. I had been listening to years of talk about "Jessica" and "Becky", and with one of my favorite RUclips channel hosts talking so highly about these blades, I needed to give them a feel for myself.

I have these two blades coming in the post! I look forward to getting them!
I have both the 7 and 9 and love them both. I even like the factory sheaths for both. The only thing I don't like are the "80 grit" sandpaper-like coatings on them so they both got the Jasco treatment and an oil rubdown. They are perfect heavy duty, tough use blades that sharpen easily and cut like a monster. The BK9 chops like a hatchet and is lighter. 2 badass blades!
I would say the BK7 is definitely on my Top 10 for sure. The BK9 is also amazing, but for me it exceeds my "go to" blade size. Now don't get me wrong...I love a large blade, but 90% of the time I have a blade in the 4-7" range for camp chores.
@@outerlimitless you'll love the Bk7. I have friends that would stake their lives on it.
i appreciate your initial explanation of insent
oh my God. that leather on the bk9! the bullet-casing/fire steel handle is a nice touch. when I buy this tool I intend to carry it scout style as well as on a dangler
I love that sheath...Julio Diaz does some amazing work. That sheath is my favorite to date and is also one of my earliest significant upgrade purchases.
Nice video
i would love to know where you got the knives and if it came like you said with the sheath, those sheathes are so nice!!!

Thanks! I honestly got kinda lucky. I generally buy most of my gear from eBay. I have a general list of items that I know the going price on. As I keep an eye out for the specific items I like, if I see it for a price I'm willing to pay, I grab it if I can win the bid. These happen to be two items I bought back-to-back while I was on a Becker kick...just so happened they came decked out. The BK9 came complete as you see it. The BK7 had the original handle scales as you see in this video, but I've since stripped the coating and added aftermarket handles to it.
The BK9 sheath is a "710 Custom" sheath, and the BK7 sheath is a "AZWELKE" Custom sheath. You can google search both those guys and get info about their products.
Thanks for checking out my channel! I appreciate it...hope that helped!!
Hope you've considered Wilson Wrapping the handles. Makes all the difference. 👍🏽
I do not wrap my handles. I guess I'm not a big believer in doing that...rather I try to get used to how a knife feels and adapt to it depending on how it works for me. I might try it sometime.
hello man! liked your video, was pretty interesting !!! I'm gonna to buy one of them, which one would you recommend? if you got rag time think out any challenge for these knives and show us how they are working, tell us weak and strong points, thank you beforehand
I'm really impressed with both. I guess it depends on if you have other blades to complement. if none other, bk7, but if you have a companion, bk9.
I have both the bk7 & bk9. They are both great blades without breaking the bank. Good luck on your channel. As for comments, anyone that's experienced willing to give you good information, and, constructive criticism, file it in the memory bank, then, check it out. Anyone that just wants to boast how smart they are, and, how stupid you are, file them in the memory bank titled, assholes that are too stupid to know they're stupid. Then, burn that memory bank. While starting out you'll be borrowing things from all kinds of people. After awhile you'll know what to keep, and, what to 86. Good luck.
Thanks man! Yes, the BK's are wonderful. I've had great luck with them. The channel is going well. That BK video was my very first video that I posted...and now I have over 170 vids posted. It's been a blast, and dealing with the people and comments, etc has been overall positive. Some people think they're king...whatever...many people wouldn't even be willing to put themselves out there for the criticism. I might expose myself, but I hope over time I can back up my channel with experience.
Thanks for watching!
I have a BK7, and love it!! Don’t carry an axe or bucksaw. I find all I need is a '7' and a folding saw. Those two do all my camp and bushcraft tasks. Of course, that’s just my opinion. I'd like a Kydex sheath for my 7. Where did you pick yours up??
I have a few videos using the BK7. It is a knife that deserves to be shown and compared over and over. You might be interested in one of my videos comparing the BK7, ESEE 6, and TFK T17...it's a 3 part series going through a comprehensive test processing wood. The BK7 is definitely a performer!! I bought mine used on eBay...with the kydex. I forget what I paid.
Here's part one of that series... ruclips.net/video/KskCJwqVJQA/видео.html
Awesome logo!
Thanks dude! I am pretty proud of it! In 2 1/2 years, I think you're the first one to comment on my logo! Awesome, thanks!
Nice video.
What is the blade width of the bk7 in centimeters?
The blade "depth" is 41mm...4.1cm. The blade stock thickness is roughly 5mm or 3/16". Hope that helps.
@@outerlimitless thanks for that info, cool knives. Stay safe there.
Just running across this video. So were those the last 2 blades that you bought for a while? lol. #bladeaddiction
I may have come across one or two more since then...haha!
You should do a video on the Bk 7 vs the Bk9
I have wanted to do a field test with the two, but it's hard to get to it with all the other stuff I have going on. But I betcha I will eventually do one! Thanks for watching!
@@outerlimitless ..3 years later....
Before watching Chris Tanner's videos, you first need to prepare your mind.
(See what I did there?)😆
Haha, I ALWAYS try to prepare my mind!!
@@outerlimitless Yeah prepare your mind to skip the first 3mins of Chri's videos while he talks rubbish.
@@happyknife8785 Rubbish? Brit?
Bk process you don't need to spend an arm and a leg for great working knives. So many buy knives to collect dust afraid to use them. Every knife I buy I use. Bte, the sheaths cost more than the knives!
Say Heah, I teamed my BK-7 with my BK-17, and my BK-9 with my BK-10 I also can neck carry my BK-14 with these combos. Great Knives, I like the CroVan steel alot because it's the same the CarbonV Knives were made of, I got my info here zknives.com, But I got very lucky and I was the last to by my Limited Edition where I bought my knives from. The Limited Edition came with the BK-4and the BK-5 which are discontinued, so if you could still get them, They will be collectable, Great Knives on their own, But the Premiere Bundok BK-20, Makes the BK-9 Pewnie, It simply dwarfs it. Don't get me wrong, The BK-9 and my BK-7 are some of my Fav's. ,, .
I want the BK20. It's pretty pricey when it can be found. You have a BK20?
Yes, I was the last one to buy the Limited Edition, I bought mine through TOMARS. ,, .
How come the tangs have holes worse than Swiss cheese.. take off the handles
That's an important feature...that is how you get balance...if no holes, the knife would be handle heavy and lose chopping power. Balance is very carefully engineered and the exact mass to remove from the handle is determined as a design consideration.
I wouldn't take any advice from Chris Tanner. Don't trust anything that yo yo says !
That was more than 4 years ago...my very first video!
Spent more time talking about the sheath than the knives lol
Haha, probably...it's a sweet sheath!
U spent the first half of the Video Yacking", Needs to work on it bud. Otherwise OK..
Funny... that was my first video on my channel and I've released 680+ videos since then. I think I've worked on it. Thanks for watching!
@@outerlimitless well guess what you just got a Sub.
@@tymccutchen thanks for coming aboard. Glad to have you... feel free to reach out any time. I try my best to answer most of the comments whenever possible!
