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
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
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 👍👍
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
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.
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.
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.
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"
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!
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!
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
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
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 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!
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 have only seen a BK series knife break once, at the point where the skeletonized tang meats the blade. I was actually surprised about quite how much stock is removed from the tang tbh. This said, the dude was chopping up full sized logs with it, and using a claw hammer. The stress spikes from the metal-on-metal impacts were probably what finished it off. I mean you can chip an anvil if you strike face hard enough.
Yeah they used to be full tang without the holes. They are more vulnerable now. I've read accounts of them breaking with chopping only. But that should still be the very minority of them I suppose.
@@Ve-suvius Thank you for that information mate. I have to admit that when I first got into knives I was all "full tang is the only way to go" ... then eventually realised that "not all full tangs are created equally". A badly skeletonized full tang can easily be worse than a quality rat tail if it has specific stress points. I guess the upside is that now I look at those knife making videos made by oldskool bowie makers and think "yeah, maybe they ARE as cool as they look"
@@TheWtfnonamez you should see the Glock knife destruction test of Mayor Fuglycool, and there's another on RUclips with the hockeymask guy called Noss. The Glock knife has a very short tang with polymer molded onto it. A sledge hammer could not break it loose. Tangs don't tell the whole story.
It could have been just an inclusion in the metal or an air pocket. You're dead on about it being a bad idea to hit metal on metal when one of them is hardened steel. Bad idea.
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
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 :)
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
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.
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. 🐓
+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
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!
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
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
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.
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
The Mine Man seems to have lost some cohesion, " dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a carpenter" please get him or it to a wood doctor... WOW great to see another knife pass the Mayor challenge. I would definitely rely on this knife for my any need
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
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.
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.
It looks like you've only tested one folding knife, is that true? I'd like to see a Triad lock tested, as well as another frame lock besides the ZT. I am sort of surprised the ZT caved so easily, but then again it's not really usual to spine whack a knife on a brick. I love my ZT's, I reckon I won't be doing that to them any time soon. I would love to see what folding knife can take that kind of abuse, like I said I imagine a Triad lock will, but I do wonder if any frame or liner lock can as well.
+bird bones (knifeknerd78) Yes, so far only one folder. I can fold the ZT blade with a spine tap to my kitchen table also, and thus so I don't feel confident in EDC with that blade. I stick to fixed for EDC, because in the nature of my work I cannot have it fail. Thanks for suggesting the Triad lock, I will get to one of those models soon. I feel as if that locking design is stronger, so when I get around to the Triad lock, we can see if it can survive. Thanks for watching friend :) Mayor Fuglycool
That's so crazy that it'll fail with a spine whack on a table! I wonder if it's a defect in only that one? Too bad. I wouldn't trust it either. Now I am going to be very skeptical of my ZT knives. As far as the Triad locking knives, I'd be curious in particular to see you test one of Cold Steel's knives that has the new CTS XHP steel. If I had one myself I'd send it to you. Cheers!
bird bones Thanks friend, don't worry I will try to get the triad lock by the end of the year. Lots of knives lined up, and it will take a while. . . But I will eventually get around to it :) Mayor Fuglycool
I like your videos, I would get an actual tree stump to do your tests on just cause it keeps the feel of the video more "woodsy" and just try to make your jungle gym look less your your child's back yard jungle gym lol it's like a faded pink/purple so it's hard to take it seriously. Maybe make it camo? Otherwise it actually serves its purpose quite well for throwing and pull ups as well as standing on the blade. Basically just work on the set and dress it up to be more appealing and I think your channel will take off
Also I would love to see you test the Ontario sp 43 I like the full flat grind of 5160 in the 8 inch blade. I'm very curious to see how it'll stack up but nobody has tested it on RUclips besides some lame ass videos with poor quality. Thanks mayor!
Thanks for watching, I will try to find a tree stump sometime. I do like the jungle jim bars, helps with the videos. Might paint it someday, but currently I am working on lots of projects. The SP43 is a cool knife to review, and someday I will get around to it. Thanks for watching friend ! Mayor Fuglycool
I love you test and videos. This is most honest review in this word. I always watch your videos before buy my knives. Fortunately, my choice didnt wrong, you know because I always watch your video before buy that. Thanks sir, please keep safe!
+Gaming Goddess Ha, my chickens are super famous ! They starred in Curly Toes 3 . . . Raccoon Revenge. ;) I might have a Sog Flash 2 around here somewhere ! LoL 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
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!
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
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?
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
Mayor Fuglycool
Excellent video. I just bought a BK 7 and 9. Durban, South Africa
Funny as hell when you surprise attack the wood man. :) Thanks for beating on the blade.
i like seeing overkill tests like this because it really sets the good stuff apart from the crap.
Thanks for watching friend ! :)
Mayor Fuglycool
@@MayorFuglycools BK9 tougher than Topps Operator 7?
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.
I hate to say it but this blade can't hold a candle chopping against a good machete. Great large knife though
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

+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.

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
Thanks your reviews are really helpful 👍🏻
The Mine Man seems to have lost some cohesion, " dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a carpenter" please get him or it to a wood doctor... WOW great to see another knife pass the Mayor challenge. I would definitely rely on this knife for my any need
+Noah R. Yes, the mine man is down ! We can rebuild him :)
Thanks for watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
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.
we seen the BK2 and the BK9 both great videos .......but now we need to see the BK7
+specter Yes, the BK7 is coming later in the year :)
Mayor Fuglycool
I'm always late to the party, but great video man. Love seeing other people torture test knives, so I don't have to kill my own!
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
Cool, Thanks!
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.
Thanks for watching :)

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.
It looks like you've only tested one folding knife, is that true? I'd like to see a Triad lock tested, as well as another frame lock besides the ZT. I am sort of surprised the ZT caved so easily, but then again it's not really usual to spine whack a knife on a brick. I love my ZT's, I reckon I won't be doing that to them any time soon. I would love to see what folding knife can take that kind of abuse, like I said I imagine a Triad lock will, but I do wonder if any frame or liner lock can as well.
+bird bones (knifeknerd78) Yes, so far only one folder. I can fold the ZT blade with a spine tap to my kitchen table also, and thus so I don't feel confident in EDC with that blade. I stick to fixed for EDC, because in the nature of my work I cannot have it fail.
Thanks for suggesting the Triad lock, I will get to one of those models soon. I feel as if that locking design is stronger, so when I get around to the Triad lock, we can see if it can survive. Thanks for watching friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
That's so crazy that it'll fail with a spine whack on a table! I wonder if it's a defect in only that one? Too bad. I wouldn't trust it either. Now I am going to be very skeptical of my ZT knives. As far as the Triad locking knives, I'd be curious in particular to see you test one of Cold Steel's knives that has the new CTS XHP steel. If I had one myself I'd send it to you. Cheers!
bird bones
Thanks friend, don't worry I will try to get the triad lock by the end of the year. Lots of knives lined up, and it will take a while. . . But I will eventually get around to it :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Great video. I really like that knife now gonna have to get me one at some point. Awesome video my friend. :)
+Plisken X51mm Yeah man this knife is totally awesome :)
Thanks for watching friend !
Mayor Fuglycool
Mayor Fuglycool
No problem man. :)
Next we have the chicken test
Just as I expected, mine came sharper than most of my folders and chops better than my hatchets. A DLC coat and g10 scales would make it perfect.
Thanks for watching friend, I am glad you loved it :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Perfection update- Stonewashed blade and linen micarta handles.
Love the destruction test. Need a CS Warcraft tanto test🙂
Absolutely useful and clear, Colleague, you solved my doubts.
Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
I like your videos, I would get an actual tree stump to do your tests on just cause it keeps the feel of the video more "woodsy" and just try to make your jungle gym look less your your child's back yard jungle gym lol it's like a faded pink/purple so it's hard to take it seriously. Maybe make it camo? Otherwise it actually serves its purpose quite well for throwing and pull ups as well as standing on the blade. Basically just work on the set and dress it up to be more appealing and I think your channel will take off
Also I would love to see you test the Ontario sp 43 I like the full flat grind of 5160 in the 8 inch blade. I'm very curious to see how it'll stack up but nobody has tested it on RUclips besides some lame ass videos with poor quality. Thanks mayor!
Thanks for watching, I will try to find a tree stump sometime. I do like the jungle jim bars, helps with the videos. Might paint it someday, but currently I am working on lots of projects. The SP43 is a cool knife to review, and someday I will get around to it. Thanks for watching friend !

Thanks for watching friend !

I love you test and videos.
This is most honest review in this word. I always watch your videos before buy my knives. Fortunately, my choice didnt wrong, you know because I always watch your video before buy that.
Thanks sir, please keep safe!
The chickens will become more famous then you!
Just kidding.. awesome test.. I should give you my sog folder to test :3
Gaming Goddess
+Gaming Goddess Ha, my chickens are super famous ! They starred in Curly Toes 3 . . . Raccoon Revenge. ;)
I might have a Sog Flash 2 around here somewhere ! LoL
Mayor Fuglycool
What do you think of the OKC Bushcraft Woodsman 9.5" 5160 steel knife? Its about the same size as the Ka-Bar BK9.
+TheAllSeeingEye I have not tried out the woodsman yet, but it should be a nice knife :)
Thanks for watching friend !
Mayor Fuglycool
Mayor Fuglycool I'm getting it and have a friend make some more ergonomic G-10 scales for me.
TheAllSeeingEye
Awesome :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Have you tested the Ontario Rkat2 in 5160 steel or their Bushcraft Woodsman in 420H, which on their blade they describe it as 420SS ?
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
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
Great testing....Thank you Mayor!
+t b Yeah no problem ! I love the BK9 now :)
Mayor Fuglycool
LOVE THE THROWING!!!!! everytime bang on
Glad to see one of your vids, Mr Mayor, are you still making them, I tried looking you up on you tube, an could not pull you up through search.
Taking me a while 1 a month
Mayor Fuglycool
Good video, great knife!
Thanks friend ! I hope you had fun watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
Just came to rewatch a classic. I hope you're well Mayor! I miss your content. ✌️
I'm still around, just a lot of work lately down south and west of Texas. I should have some more videos coming in late June though :)
Mayor Fuglycool
good job on the video, now i need this knife. you made me laugh with that attack move on the wooden fella.
+Emily Smith Oh jeez, well the little wooden target scene in this video is just to test handling.
Thanks for watching friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
+Mayor Fuglycool love it
Nice video. I'll buy the bk7.
Looks like a good solid blade.
good test
+Gun Enthusiast Rock solid :)
Mayor Fuglycool
You should have done the "Blue Eyes chicken nugget challenge" LOL. J/k nice video dude
I bought one right away after I finished watching your vid. Great work,bro!!
The block test was great, if it does well no need for.a batonning test.
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.
Thanks friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
great review. and safety first my friends. I loved it.
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
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?
man great vid, you really made me want this knife. just subscribed
Becker BK7 next please ! ! !
+Leaderilaos “LC33” Chaqal That is a very popular knife, and I will get around the the BK7 soon. Thanks for watching friend :)
Mayor Fuglycool
@@MayorFuglycools Still waiting buddy, I wanna buy one lol
@@richardvoisin6080 buy it anyway. its same as bk9, just shorter. LOVE mine. works absolutely fantastic in combination with Mora companion.
Now I have this knife thanks to this review :-) The knife is superb! I love it!!! Thank you for this video it made me decide.
I am glad you got one, these are awesome knives !
Thanks for watching friend :)
