    @kevinrox666 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Once you get a good set of handles it's a really well made knife. The stock handles aren't the worst, but I tend to lose all grip when my hands get damp or sweaty. That said the blade itself is excellent. Not the best on the market, but for the money I think it's definitely a worth it purchase IMO.

    I found a first gen Kabar BK7 and I HAD to have it. It's got the logo stamped not etched on and is in pristine condition, I got it today and it's basically brand new, not even used and it came with the original Remora knife. I'm just so excited I found such a rarity, I don't know if I'll use it because just so immaculate!

      @@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors I'll use it, just not right away. In that novelty phase. I know that in the end I'll strip the coating, get a kydex sheath for it, and some micarta scales. The original sheath isn't molle compatible like the new ones are, so I'll definitely get a sheath with a remora piggyback attachment. It's a stamped bk7. Ill leave the black coating in the stamp so it stands out when I strip it.

  • @boomstickman71
    @boomstickman71 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I hated the thumb ramp, so I took it off. I hated the coating, so I took it off. I hated how slippery the scales were, so I stippled them. Now I love the knife. And the big brother BK9. Now I just need to make better sheaths for both. Good to see a long term review instead of just chopping a couple of branches like most reviewers.

    I went with the g10 scales vs micarta. Micarta soaks up bacteria and microbes. Stripped the blade, but left the coating on the handle portion. Extra protection. Plus, upgraded the hardware to nylock stainless steel screws with red loctite.👍

Now I want the 7 and 9.😂 Can't do it right now and might skip the 7 because I already have an Esse 6 for that size. That polished blade looks amazing and calling that nub an attitude readjustment tool is some straight Marine shit.

    The only thing I don't really like about the Beckers compared to esee 6 is the look and skeleton handle. The choil not being on a Becker doesn't bother me too much. The Becker is a way better batoner and stabber.

    • @thelasthuntsmanoutdoors
      @thelasthuntsmanoutdoors  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They really are two different kind of knives. The becker is geared being a combat/survival knife while the esee 6 is more of a dedicated survival knife. the skeletonized tang does help it feel a bit better balanced and I've never seen anyone with with structural issues.

    Lots of people trash talk 1095. But there are so many videos with 1095 handling major abuse. Meanwhile, most "supersteel" loving enthusiasts just show their supersteel knives fresh out of the box and refuse to abuse them in any way.

    Obviously its a tried and true and very capable multi purpose knife. However...what I don't like about it is that it seems light and too big for common uses. For a chopper I want it beefy and hefty, like a Junglass. For a bushcrafter or skinner, I want it small and compact. The BK7 is neither. It could do all, but do none very well.

    • @thelasthuntsmanoutdoors
      @thelasthuntsmanoutdoors  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a great size for that reason. Having a Junglas on your belt especially if you going full gear and kit is awkward. This is still very capable but still manageable on your belt
