Becker BK18 First Impressions and Review

Just a review of the Becker BK18, what I like, what I dislike, and how it compares to other blades that I have close at hand.

I have this too. It's totally worth having.

I got some aftermarket micarta handles. Turns an already great blade into an absolute beast. For the price it’s great.

Great discussion. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

I have a BK7 and I agree about the feel of the handle material. For me it lacks traction. My solution was to stipple the grip. I used three different drillbit sizes and a Dremel to drillout shallow craters of various sizes in a pattern on the grip. Careful not to go too deep or you will put a hole in it. Thanks for sharing.

I used a soldering iron for mine...love it now

Home made liners from a plastic notebook kept mine from rattling. Use some form of grip tape or do some stippling if you keep the factory scales.

Sorry man but you got a fake one, that is not the legit BK18. That coating is not normal and the color is off just like the Gerber StrongArm. I have this knife in black and the coating is a powder coat. That stuff from China is just paint and tells ya it's not a Becker. My BK18 is wicked sharp and doesn't need to be touched up after a few batonings and stabs . Mine has kept its edge with just stroping the blade. I'm sorry ya spent your hard earned money on that thing Ebay is dangerous for knife sales. Maybe Buy one from a reputable dealer and compare them in another vid? You will see a big difference.

Yeah I seen something saying this is the most cloned knife! So my dumbass got one off eBay for cheap when drinking one night! But knew something was up with the rattling action! No more eBay hot deals
