I bought this knife because I wanted a machete but didn't want something quite so long. This knife has the length, weight, and blade grind that makes it a perfect short machete for chopping, yet can also function as a, well, long knife. The narrow blade of most machetes will often stick in a thick piece of wood, but this blade grind will remove large chips with each swing. It seems like the perfect compromise between the two.
+Mayor Fuglycool Just received my bk9, could not be happier with it. However I noticed a smaller sheath on the primary one. After doing some research I found out it's supposed to fit the remora. I'm not sure if you have any becker/kabar neck knives, but do you know if a bigger necker would fit into the little sheath?
Mark Richardson Sharpner, multitool, ferro rod, fishing line + hook, and other accessories will fit in that pouch. Other knives that might fit are the Kabar neck knives and small 3" blades. I have seen someone put a small pistol in that pouch as well, so I am sure that the pouch can be used for many things :) Mayor Fuglycool
Another awesome video from the mayor! Thanks for doing these tests. Many people would say that they are "abusive or unreasonable" but I like seeing how far a blade can go before it breaks. It tells you just how much a manufacturer cares about their product. Keep them coming brother!
I have a BK 9, so when I saw the title of this video, I had to watch. Holy crap! I've never seen anyone test a knife this extremely, it was awesome! Now I know I have a great knife I can depend on, and you have a new subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you, Mayor for testing your BK9! I really appreciate your willingness to put your blades and even your own safety on the line for your viewers! Thanks for mentioning me too, that was so cool of you. I look forward to more of your reviews and also on your other food channel maybe too if you can, I've been catching up on some of those also.. These Becker knives are really great, I got some micarta handle scales for my BK9 and boy they really just kick the feel of the knife up several notches. Your chickens are hella cool, too. I'd like to dig up some worms for them and watch them eat them lol. Thanks again, Mayor! You rock!
+Grippy McJimping I am glad that you enjoyed the test ;) I did pull this from my collection, just to test for you. I also of course wanted to see if it was strong enough to survive, and it passed with flying colors. Thanks for watching friend, and I will have more stuff to come :) Mayor Fuglycool
Liked and subscribed. I like seeing just how durable this blade is. I've been wanting to get a BK9 and this video pushed me right over the top. Keep up the good work!
Every time I do something possibly hazardous, I always hear the Mayor's voice: "Safety first, my friends!" I've had some close calls and am glad I took a moment to put on safety glasses. thx 4 the reminders & great vids!
it hurts my heart to watch this guy, he does to much. however like a train wreck I can't stop watching and refuse to look away. love your Chanel keep it up.
Just discovered your channel. Very nice test!... I would like you do more torture to the BK-9 and see how resistences it is. I saw the Destruction test of All Outdoors, and the BK 9 brakes very fast in the concrate test.
I think Joe X actually managed to break this knife. He puts it through far more insane testing though. Super extreme test that no one in their right mind would consider doing lol.
This is the video that I watched a few years ago when I wanted to buy a good knife. Since then I have bought a few more k-bar knives after buying this one I just came back to watch the video again.
I’m a few years late to the party but I just purchased a Becker BK9 before I found this. Looks like a made the right choice! Above and beyond indeed. It’s hard to watch sometimes but wow that thing is tough! Subbed 👍👍
mayor im wondering what knife do you think would make a stronger pry bar before breaking , a becker bk9 with its wide but skeletonized tang or a comparable blade type in a cold steel trailmaster with its wider than most extra fat rat tail tang ? then the next step down in a bk7 skeletonized vs a coldsteel leatherneck clip point fat rat tail ? though the leatherneck comes in two or more steels so i know thats a factor
Have you done a destruction test on either the Becker BK-7 or the TOPS Tahoma Field Knife (TFK)? Thanks for doing things to these knives that I would think of doing.
I have this knife, and I don't think I'd ever subject it to the stresses you put on it. It's good to know that if I ever needed to, it could perform. The chopping power if this knife is scary good... like an ax. Thanks for the vid Mayor!
Man your channel rocks bro Real testing for once !!! Shit might happen ya never know but at least we know which knives we can count on thanks to mayor !!! And hello from Canada 🇨🇦
I think I enjoy these knife destruction videos more than I should. That BK9 seems marvelous. I shall have to get one. I would love to see one of these videos with the BK21, which I think I also have to have!
I did do this test with my limited edition BK20, and let me tell you that it just STEAMROLLED the test ! I am liking Beckers more and more ;) Mayor Fuglycool
You know what I wasn't even in the market for one of these I do want a smaller knife than a machete I don't have much need for a machete but like you showed digging a hole I don't want to carry a shovel either but I do want the ability to for latrine duty this it fits the bill just right! Thanks for the review!
I had seen many reviews of the Ka-Bar Beckers knives. All seem to be good blades to own one. I only able to choose between bk7 and bk9 for the price difference of just 10usd but at the same time I am buying back the cold steel recon tanto cpm 3v which I regretted to have sold to my friend. So does the 7 inches and 9 inches of the beckers make of different quality other than length?
Have seen other BK9 reviews but yours is the only one to convince me to put it on my acquisitions list. Hope you get a volume discount on concrete blocks.
+leon green Well, I pay for everything ! Don't worry, the cinders are not too expensive where I get them from. I am glad that you are confident knowing that the BK9 can withstand a heck of a lot of punishment. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool
You are the best "heavy use" tester I've seen. I only wish you would do more folders. Also be careful on that pull-up test, if the blade was to snap who knows where the tip could end up... Thumbs way up!
+Pietro B Yes, I appreciate the praise ! I really hope that a blade does not snap, but I have precautions to make sure that I do not sustain heavy injury. Remember, I test this stuff so you don't have to ! ;) Thanks for watching friend ! Mayor Fuglycool
can you do your torture test on the cudeman hunting\survival knife. I got a few and want to know if they can be taken seriously, the quality of them looks and feels top notch
When I first saw your knife fighting tactics and the jumping around like a rabbit on crack, I laughed and thought you were some kind of crackpot. Once I watched past that, I became more interested and then found I enjoyed your destruction testing. Better than the same old wood splitting videos. The BK 9 is an absolute monster. That's why I own one and will own more Beckers as the budget allows.
+James Cooper I am glad that you enjoy my videos ! To be honest, the slashing test that I do in the beginning of the test is not a knife fighting tactic by any means. That movement is just for me to handle, and feel the flow of the blade. In a real self defense situation, there are many variables. I will say for the record, that I am not a knife master by no means. The slashing movement is for the feel of the blade, nothing more :) Thanks for watching friend, and I hope you have fun watching my videos ! Mayor Fuglycool
what a knife I've been looking for this type of knife for a while I'm impressed, I will be buying one of these shortly as a new subscribed viewer from the UK really enjoyed the video look forward to seeing more thanks for sharing
Okay. You’ve convinced me. Although I would never do those things to my BK-9. If the need arose, I’m confident that my knife will meet any test I could conceive. However, I also know that any knife will fail under extreme conditions. But, I now have more confidence in my BK-9. Thanks.
Been watching a bunch of your videos recently, and today at the store the cashier said "Have a good day, sir" and I replied with "Safety first, my friends"
another great test, I'm still hoping one day soon before I take a forest trip you'll test the M48 Ops Combat Fighter blade, you know so I don't have to. I have a good feeling about my blade, I'd be upsuperset so be out there using it breaks someway.
+NICOXXVII Well, currently I do have a couple of knifes that are in line to be tested. I will see if I can get time to review the M48 this year. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool
Good to know I can use it as a tree stand. Now you mentioned it being straight as an arrow, but how does it perform when fired from a compound bow? If it isn't accurate to at least fifty yards then I don't see how it can meet the needs of the average outdoorsman.
I know you are concerned about arrow usage, but let me tell you that it can be very dangerous to try it. I am sure that the BK9 would make a better spear though, much more effective than the compound bow idea. Thanks for watching ! :) Mayor Fuglycool
Great vids, the testing is awesome: measurements, materials, etc. all described. Most knife videos are either just chopping on some wood, or being intentionally destroyed in a way that no one would ever actually use the damn knife, and they hardly ever include Chickens in their wack-ass vids. Thank you for putting some beauty-marks on your BK9 in the name of learning. Love it. Peas. 🐓
Nice test - how does the knife feel as a throwing knife? Does it always end up blade first into the timber? I know it depends on the way you throw but some knives are garbage when you throw them due to the weight distribution. Thanks for the Video!
For me, this knife throws well, mainly because the BK9 is more back heavy. I tend to throw back heavy knives better than balanced or front heavy knives. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool
This is on of my favourite knives, but to be honest, I was really expecting the blade to crack when you sat on it, due to its huge length. Glad it didn't :)
crazy stuff! love it... would love to see some busse or mbb put on tests... actually you could go really crazy on those. I'm too poor to do those things with my babies lol
Great vid man :) just got yourself another subscriber!!! One little thing, and I'm reaching here, you said the "safety first" package a few times too many throughout Must stress, great vid man
+joey8obby I am sorry that I say "safety first" many times, but I was informed by my legal advisor to mention it many times through my video. It has to do with legal liability, as if someone / persons tries to imitate my actions and tries to sue me as an influence regarding their actions. The knife tests are extremely dangerous, and I really do this stuff so you guys and gals don't have to ! Thanks for subbing and watching friend :) Mayor Fuglycool
+ryan Ringling Yes, I do get requests to do the tests in the end to show how sharp the blade stayed throughout the test. I will try to incorporate that into my next tests. Thanks for watching friend ! Mayor Fuglycool
+Shane Shaffi The recon tanto is something that I have been looking at lately. Thanks for watching, and I will try to get more cold steel products later on in the year :) Mayor Fuglycool
Pretty good video. You showed us what doesn't destroy the knife. An absolutely thorough test might include exactly what WILL cause the knife to break. That would be something to see.
Good evening Mayor I just bought a Kershaw Camp 10 its a solid performer for the price quality for being made over seas, could you do the Mayor test on it. I was sold on it after I watched the reviews.
These large survival Bowie arent optimal for self defense. They're too heavy and dont penetrate very well. I would suggest a dagger or a smaller Bowie knife. Good ones are Cold Steel Tai Pan and Cold Steel OSS. Both are purpose made for killing. Also good for killing are pretty much any SOG fixed blade and Applegate-Fairbarn knives.
Well, ive seen footage from several knife attacks. There was one from Indonesia i think where a man was attacking a cop with a butcher knife. He just hacked and hacked him over and over again, probably good 20 times. The cop got severe flesh wounds all over him, but he lived. Now if the guy had a dagger or purpose made fighting knife the guy would have been dead with 5 stabs. Stab wounds are almost always more lethal, so knives that specialize in that like daggers are better in my opinion.
White Supremacy BK9 is almost overkill also. You can dismember people with that thing. I can also imagine what a good whack to the throat area would do. Its like a short machete with decent stabbing capabilities. Just not my personal best pick, but in right hands im sure its devastating.
+Mayor Fuglycool - Love seeing Your Chickens in the videos, Mayor ! Maybe sometime You could do a video series on raising and caring for Chickens. I love knives, but I love egg layers too, bet You eat fresh eggs everyday ! Keep 'em coming, Mayor.
+Shubba2529 Dude Same here -- Knives are cool, but i love Chickens! They are so under-appreciated. I'd love to care for some, but live in a tiny apartment, and i think the landlord would have a fit if i had a bunch of Chickens running around, chirping and crowing at dawn... Thanks in advance, Mayor. Holla for Chickens! p.s., I can confirm, in urban environs, i do encounter building materials, and when i do, it's great to have a 9" blade with me. Peace, 🐓👍🏾
I picked up a BK9 a few days ago, nice to know it can take a beating. Love the knife a whole ton more after seeing this review LOL. Do you think its possible to incorporate more Tactical folders into your review? I saw the ZT one and would love to see more!
+Bear Yes, I am looking to review more and more advertised "tactical / hardcore" folding knives in my reviews. I do get a lot of criticism about the ZT failure, but in reality that blade could have slipped the lock, and cut the tendons on the fingers in a hardcore situation. Thanks for watching friend, and keep your eyes open for the BK20 review. It is coming soon. ;) Mayor Fuglycool
+Mayor Fuglycool no doubt about the criticism of the ZT Failure - i was probably one of them hahaha - but dooooood if there's some folders out there that passes - those gonna be some awesome folders to own. Thanks for the heads up on the BK20! will look forward to it!

My man out here just living life trying to break expensive knives so we don't waste our hard earned money. Keep up the good work!
Thank you

i like seeing overkill tests like this because it really sets the good stuff apart from the crap.
Thanks for watching friend ! :)

@@MayorFuglycools BK9 tougher than Topps Operator 7?

I hate to say it but this blade can't hold a candle chopping against a good machete. Great large knife though
Funny as hell when you surprise attack the wood man. :) Thanks for beating on the blade.
This was WAY more than I needed to convince me. great video :)
Thanks ! I test it out so you guys don't have to ! :P

gunnutmike @nutnfancy has done some pretty rough banging on rocks. This test was pretty good too.

Another awesome stress test review thanks a lot Mayor!
I love how the chicken is so used to your shenanigans, it doesn't even react when you start hammering on the knife.
it hurts my heart to watch this guy, he does to much.
however like a train wreck I can't stop watching and refuse to look away. love your Chanel keep it up.
Thanks friend I really appreciate the support !

I love the slashing you do in the begining it kills me
Just discovered your channel. Very nice test!... I would like you do more torture to the BK-9 and see how resistences it is.
I saw the Destruction test of All Outdoors, and the BK 9 brakes very fast in the concrate test.
Had to sub!! Pull up test was awesome!! Looking forward to checking out more videos
You’re awesome and I love your format.
Fo Sho!!
Excellent video. I just bought a BK 7 and 9. Durban, South Africa
I think Joe X actually managed to break this knife. He puts it through far more insane testing though. Super extreme test that no one in their right mind would consider doing lol.
Goddamn- that was a remarkable series of tests. I just bought a bk7, my mind is at ease
This is the video that I watched a few years ago when I wanted to buy a good knife. Since then I have bought a few more k-bar knives after buying this one I just came back to watch the video again.

sucks seeing this done to a knife but at the same time its freaking awesome to show how tough one is. great video
Holy HELL man! Watching that makes my stomach turn but thank you, I will definitely order one.

Have you done a destruction test on either the Becker BK-7 or the TOPS Tahoma Field Knife (TFK)? Thanks for doing things to these knives that I would think of doing.
I bought one right away after I finished watching your vid. Great work,bro!!
Great test, Mayor. Love the BK 9. Keep the knife destruction tests coming.
Nice test! I am deciding on which one I want first. 9,7, or 2. The 2 would probably do all I need it to but the 9 has the cool factor!
Good video. I've never seen a test using the knife to do pull ups. That was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
I have this knife, and I don't think I'd ever subject it to the stresses you put on it. It's good to know that if I ever needed to, it could perform. The chopping power if this knife is scary good... like an ax. Thanks for the vid Mayor!
I am really liking the BK series, tough as a bulldozer ! Glad you loved it !

Man your channel rocks bro
Real testing for once !!!
Shit might happen ya never know but at least we know which knives we can count on thanks to mayor !!!

You earned a new subscriber. I had bought this knife a couple months ago. I haven't had the chance to use it yet. Definitely a well made beast.
Thanks your reviews are really helpful 👍🏻

I did do this test with my limited edition BK20, and let me tell you that it just STEAMROLLED the test ! I am liking Beckers more and more ;)
Mayor Fuglycool
Mayor , after 6 years now , is your opinion of the BK9 combat bowie the same ?
I have a pimped out version of this knife, done by myself. Great knife, great test, great video. All the best from the UK
Thanks ! Glad you loved it ! Howdy from Texas ! :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Very helpful to see such harsh tests! Have one of these on the way and its nice to see how much abuse it can take.

Happy Days and thankyou for your No bullsh@T tests. There are extreme but satifing. Kool dude Mayor from Aus :-)
Great test. Ever do one on the Bk7? I imagine it would be similar, but the 7 has a more acute tip.
Have you tested the Ontario Rkat2 in 5160 steel or their Bushcraft Woodsman in 420H, which on their blade they describe it as 420SS ?
thank you mr mayor for another real knife review of a pertinant knife !

Hi! No test about the Crewman BK10?
Great vid man :) just got yourself another subscriber!!!
One little thing, and I'm reaching here, you said the "safety first" package a few times too many throughout
Must stress, great vid man
+joey8obby I am sorry that I say "safety first" many times, but I was informed by my legal advisor to mention it many times through my video. It has to do with legal liability, as if someone / persons tries to imitate my actions and tries to sue me as an influence regarding their actions. The knife tests are extremely dangerous, and I really do this stuff so you guys and gals don't have to !
Thanks for subbing and watching friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Thx bro. love your videos
Awesome Thanks for watching ! :)
Mayor Fuglycool
awesome tests would like to see initial sharpness test with paper and paracord then preform test again at end of all test to see edge retention.
+ryan Ringling Yes, I do get requests to do the tests in the end to show how sharp the blade stayed throughout the test. I will try to incorporate that into my next tests. Thanks for watching friend !
Mayor Fuglycool
can you do a review on the kubun and recon tanto by cold steel please they are both super affordable thanks
+Shane Shaffi The recon tanto is something that I have been looking at lately. Thanks for watching, and I will try to get more cold steel products later on in the year :)
Mayor Fuglycool
As Meatloaf sang" I won't do that" but you hammered the crap out of that blade. If it can take all of that it should handle most without issues
Pretty good video. You showed us what doesn't destroy the knife. An absolutely thorough test might include exactly what WILL cause the knife to break. That would be something to see.
Thanks friend :)

Good evening Mayor I just bought a Kershaw Camp 10 its a solid performer for the price quality for being made over seas, could you do the Mayor test on it. I was sold on it after I watched the reviews.
Very nice!!! What Bowie knife or size do you recommend for maximum penetration? Looking for a knife I can keep in car for self defense.
Bk15
For somthing stabby that you can hide
These large survival Bowie arent optimal for self defense. They're too heavy and dont penetrate very well. I would suggest a dagger or a smaller Bowie knife. Good ones are Cold Steel Tai Pan and Cold Steel OSS. Both are purpose made for killing. Also good for killing are pretty much any SOG fixed blade and Applegate-Fairbarn knives.
Well, ive seen footage from several knife attacks. There was one from Indonesia i think where a man was attacking a cop with a butcher knife. He just hacked and hacked him over and over again, probably good 20 times. The cop got severe flesh wounds all over him, but he lived. Now if the guy had a dagger or purpose made fighting knife the guy would have been dead with 5 stabs. Stab wounds are almost always more lethal, so knives that specialize in that like daggers are better in my opinion.
White Supremacy BK9 is almost overkill also. You can dismember people with that thing. I can also imagine what a good whack to the throat area would do. Its like a short machete with decent stabbing capabilities. Just not my personal best pick, but in right hands im sure its devastating.
Awesome test!👍
put some safety glasses on those chickens.
LOLOLOL

+Mayor Fuglycool - Love seeing Your Chickens in the videos, Mayor ! Maybe sometime You could do a video series on raising and caring for Chickens. I love knives, but I love egg layers too, bet You eat fresh eggs everyday ! Keep 'em coming, Mayor.
+Shubba2529 Dude Same here -- Knives are cool, but i love Chickens! They are so under-appreciated. I'd love to care for some, but live in a tiny apartment, and i think the landlord would have a fit if i had a bunch of Chickens running around, chirping and crowing at dawn... Thanks in advance, Mayor. Holla for Chickens! p.s., I can confirm, in urban environs, i do encounter building materials, and when i do, it's great to have a 9" blade with me. Peace, 🐓👍🏾
Thanks for checking out my stuff ! The chickens are awesome :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Haha yeah my chickens lay some nice organic eggs its awesome :)
Mayor Fuglycool
I picked up a BK9 a few days ago, nice to know it can take a beating. Love the knife a whole ton more after seeing this review LOL. Do you think its possible to incorporate more Tactical folders into your review? I saw the ZT one and would love to see more!
+Bear Yes, I am looking to review more and more advertised "tactical / hardcore" folding knives in my reviews. I do get a lot of criticism about the ZT failure, but in reality that blade could have slipped the lock, and cut the tendons on the fingers in a hardcore situation. Thanks for watching friend, and keep your eyes open for the BK20 review. It is coming soon. ;)
Mayor Fuglycool
+Mayor Fuglycool no doubt about the criticism of the ZT Failure - i was probably one of them hahaha - but dooooood if there's some folders out there that passes - those gonna be some awesome folders to own. Thanks for the heads up on the BK20! will look forward to it!
*****
Oh yeah, I am wanting to test that BK20 pretty bad. It's a thick piece of steel :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Looks like a good solid blade.
good test
+Gun Enthusiast Rock solid :)
