I've got a bk7 that I've taken camping a bunch and backpacking once too. I got aftermarket kydex sheath that holds it tight and micarta handles and now it's perfect and I can slice, carve and chop with it for hours. I wouldn't mind having all the sizes of bk knives but I figured the 7 inch was a good all around starting point and it's definitely held up and impressed me. Thanks for the video and enjoy your bk9 for years to come 👍

It's funny. After I got my heavy club and I started doing inside circles, outside circles, and 180 pullovers, my Natchez bowie and my wakizashi started feeling like toys. I think heavy clubs would be great for you. As far as I know, it's the only way to load a throwing pattern.

I have the BK2, BK5, BK7, and BK9. All are great knives. For self defense I wouldn't pick any of them (since there are far better choices for that) but if I had to, the BK5 or BK7 would be best for that because they are lighter and quicker in the hand than the others.

I bought two of these BK-9 Knives a few years ago. They are an impressive blade. This knife is actually very customizable. I know that some have removed the handle scales and installed a Paracord handle. I like the idea of the tape for added grip. I was thinking about cutting some like bike inner tube and fit that over the handle for grip. You can use a Dremel tool and reconfigure the handle scales to gain extra grip. As long as you are careful it would have to be shallow work though. I always meant to use one of my blades and strip the coating and engrave it chemically. And do some kind of stone wash to it but so far I never got around to it. Just too busy with some other things. I really like the knife it does feel great in the hand. You can definitely rely on this blade whether you require it for survival or for use in a combat scenario. It comes with a nice enough nylon sheath. But I would prefer a Kydex sheath. They should have it as an option.

It is versatile. It can be used for Bushcraft, throwing practice, can use as a machete for chopping things and could be used for self-defense. I think Michael Myers would be depressed; he got his chip chop don't stop machete from Walmart 50% off.

I do not know, if you know this. But, the tang under the handle scales has been skeletonized, to reduce weight I guess. So there are two cut outs under the handle scales. With that grip tape on the handle you wont be able to get the snap strap on the sheath closed. As far as a point goes. My Condor Moonshiner, Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie knife, and my Cold Steel Scottish Dirk beat the BK9 hands down. I see the BK9 as a hack and slash weapon. As for other chores, I would not try to clean a fish with it :) Stay sharp and have a nice day :)

Thanks mate. Hey- could you possibly do a video recommending a knife for us ladies for beside the bed.

Secondly I would love it if you did a video not only with some knife recommendations for women, but (if it is something you know about)- then including an honest appraisal of just how much training a woman should really get to be able to wield it properly. A policewoman told me straight to my face- if you are going to have a weapon, it can be even more dangerous than not having one, IF you don’t know how to get in quick with it -because the rapist / killer in your house will just take it off you and use it on you.
