    They should just sell the blade for $50.00 because the handle&sheath are crap. Ka-Bar did not take it to the next level You did. The made a nice blade and did the rest half ass.

      You get a lot of good steel for the money. And i've used beckers with stock handles in water for processing fish, and they aren't crap i can tell you that. They clean up easy, there are just better handle materials out there.

      @Regolith86 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@supersymun I wouldn't say that they sold out so much as they went bankrupt and were bought out.
      I have a Camillus BK7. They used 01 steel instead of 1095, and it's been a very nice knife for the most part.
      Interesting to hear that Kabar did some more skelatonization on them. One of my biggest problems with my BK7 was that it was too handle heavy for my tastes, and some lightening holes in the handle would fix that problem fairly well. I ended up putting some Kabar-made Micarta scales on mine, and it mostly fixed the weight issue. They seem to be slightly lighter than the Camillus scales were.

  • @Christian-xd3vg
    @Christian-xd3vg 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    @mlsknnr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Got this knife a few weeks ago, what a beast, best big knife for the dollar out the IMHO. I kept the zombie green scales, just added a ranger band over the handle so it's grippier and not as green :). Love, love, love this knife, and all Beckers for that matter!

    I bought Caroline (bk-9) a year or two ago and have done intense work with her. She is easily the best money I have ever spent. I am going replace the handle and strip the black powder coat that she comes with. I highly recommend purchasing one if you want an amazing knife.

  • @jerrybobteasdale
    @jerrybobteasdale 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yep, lime green ugly handle. But when you drop your tool in forest litter, or lay it down in the dark, it's good to have a contrasty look. Black and camo hand tools rarely make sense to me. I'll use brightly colored lanyards.

    Dude I finally just bought the Becker BK9. I should have bought one years ago. I too have favored the ESEE Junglas for a long while. Along with the Tahoma field knife. And I hate to say it but the BK9 just bumped the TFK out of 2nd place. I am so impressed with this BK 9. And I fully intend to customize mine. Thanks for the info. Hang tough.

  • @NGMonocrom
    @NGMonocrom 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Placed my order for both a BK9 with Becker Micarta scales and the same sheath system (different colors) with Red Feather before going to bed last night. Overall, a sweet deal. The online shop I normally go to had the stock BK9 at a ridiculously over-inflated price.

      Normally, it's very difficult for me to take a chance on small online shops. Yes, I've been cheated out of my money in the past. But, I have noticed that this channel is more honest in its reviews than literally any other one of the other POPULAR channels on youtube that test similar products.
      Not that they're dishonest nor disingenuous. Most of them do a good job in their reviews. But this channel seems to mention negatives that the others sometimes don't, or perhaps downplay a bit. It's just nice being able to get the gear I want without worrying if I'll get screwed over. Thanks for that.

  • @redcanoe14

    Check out the Terava Skrama from Finland, similar size, extremely tough, extremely sharp, phenomenal chopper, excellent for feather sticks, excellent leather dangler sheath and optional MOLLE/ PALS sheath, 9.4" blade. All for around $100. Check out the many TH-cam Reviews.

  • @elderhiker7787
    @elderhiker7787 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great review. I also have the BK9 with upgraded micarta handles. It’s a beauty and my favorite overnight bushcraft knife. If I’m just going out for a day hike w/ lunch, I’ll probably take my Mora. One thing that shocks me is why Ka-bar markets the 39 with cheap scales and sheath. If they are going to make modest changes with the coating and the lazar engraving, why not go all the way with the scales and custom sheath? I think the BK39 has had disappointing sales because many people like me have opted to upgrade the BK9 such as you did. I think Ka-bar has made a huge marketing blunder.

    Say Heah Aaron, What can you do with my new Ka-Bar Becker Bundok BK-20, Yeah Baby, It's a total "Beast" at almost 11" blade and1/4" thick, It's a chopper, I'm always looking for a good Summer Long Knife, For brush slaying, Oh, I have a couple of good ones. But I'm always experiment what else or what if. Yeah, a 11" blade might be just a little too short, But in a pinch, plus some of the other advantages is what I'm talking about. I'll let you know, Ok.

  • @scottsherman5947
    @scottsherman5947 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Not for me, but I do agree that the BK9 is a heck of deal for a whole lot of very solid knife, & it's set up so well for after-market customizing. Personally, if I ever have one of these fall into my lap...well, first, I'm visiting the ER, and then the very first mod I'm performing is a quick visit to Mr. Grinder to wipe out what never should have been there in the 1st place - that ramp/jimping. I'm a bit surprised you didn't choose to do that with this one...& again, just speaking personally, it's leather or bust for me on ALL of my knives, no exceptions...& my leather guy can get a nice 2-toned & tooled L. sheath of this size to me in 10 days for $40, so that would be a no-brainer for me....though I of course get why you & many others prefer Kydex....you're just wrong, & less manly than I am. I do love that long, straight cutting edge....its cutting edge is one of the very best/most useful in the knife kingdom, & at 3/16", it doesn't make the mistake of being overly thick. Another great vid, have a wonderful weekend brother!!

      +faultroy ; It amazes me how people will
      mod the beck out of their Beckers and claim what fantastic knives they are ( and I don't doubt that they are), but by the same token they will leave an Ontario knife ( the RTAKII comes to mind) totally stock, complain about the handle scales ( they do need work) and sell the knife. They won't spend one minute or one red cent modding an Ontario knife even though they admit that the blades are excellent.
      They remind me of Glock fan boys. ( for the record, I own a BK Becker knife and 2 Glock pistols).

    • @akeeperofoddknowledge4956
      @akeeperofoddknowledge4956 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +faultroy ; Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree that collectors and users will often prefer different setups, and that users only know what they need or want after some experience with whatever gadget or device in question. And Aaron definitely has lots of experience and that is why I value his opinion. He came up with a really nice setup that he is justifiiably proud of. My comments were made mostly out of observation of a lot of KA-Bar Becker owners who will buy a BK7 or a BK9 and remove everything that makes those knives distinctive. They will grind off the thumb ramp, add a choil, reprofile the grind, refinish the blade and swap out the scales. Then they will exclaim what amazing knives they are!
      Uh, okay.

    That Becker Logo across the whole blade sucks, looks like a kids toy knife.

I wouldn't consider buying Mechanix Gloves for example because it has that written across the gloves, so cartoon kid like looking. Pay big bucks for a knife and have crap like that emblazoned across it, no thanks, not cool.

    That looks awesome! I have LMF's camo micarta scales on my Camillus BK9 and they look and feel incredible, even better than the Ka Bar micarta scales on my Ka Bar BK2 ( in my opinion ) because the edges of the holes for the mounting hardware feel chamfered or rounded and not a sharp 90 degree edge, which is really noticeable with my fingertips. Joe at LMF Knives really is a nice guy, too. Great vid, Aaron, Thumbs up!

  • @dasta7658
    @dasta7658 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The BK9 is a good blade. What makes this ridiculous is the cost of what you have after purchasing all the after market handles, sheath, strip the coating and any other add ons people get. When you add up the cost, you could have bought a better blade outright and not had to pimp it out to be something that is awesome. To each their own!

    Just a quick update from a year ago: Overall very happy with what I received several months back when my order came in. No complaints about the sheath. It's just excellent. Bought the BK from the custom sheath-maker at the same time. Was disappointed that it was a BK39 instead of the BK9 I had ordered.
    Naturally I was upset. That was on top of a longer wait due to wanting the optional micarta scales from Kabar. (Honestly, the stock Grivory handles are just moronic. They really are. In fact, let's call them what they are.... Cheap, shallow, hollowed out plastic that's been molded and smoothed out beyond anything useful.) My sheath was apparently ready weeks earlier. But it took that long to get the micarta scales in, so they could be fitted to the knife.
    A quick email revealed that the custom-maker had gotten overwhelmed with orders. Admitted to being overworked, and apologized for the mistake. Although angry at first, I accepted his apology. He promised to make things right.
    Due to a situation I'd rather not get into, I decided to keep the BK39 with micarta scales, and simply bought a BK9 and ordered a new set of micartas off Amazon. Then attached them myself. Hey, nothing wrong with having a back-up chopper.
    Again, the sheath is top notch. Definitely recommended. If you're buying one of the knives on his website along with a custom sheath for it, I do suggest sending out a reminder email before your order ships. Just to make sure everything is spot-on.

    There's no real significant difference between the BK9 & BK39; the latter is the BK9 only without the "3", comes without the black coating, with a Micarta grip and a Kydex sheath, as shown here. These are alterations many owners of the BK9 (or other Becker knives) apply over time, or immediately, anyway. In fact, I did all that, and my BK9 looks absolute like this "update", without the lesser appreciated laser engraving. The point here: no need to buy the latest, if you already own the former. Unless, someone likes to run a collection. But in case it's going to be first purchase, then the BK39 is certainly pretty good, too. Does it perform better or more efficient, or is it built/designed for different applications than the original? Nope. Most important message: both versions are outstanding camp, bushcraft and survival knives!

    The Camillus Becker BK77 Extreme was the highest-quality Becker ever built. S30V, Micata Handles, and a SPEC-OPS Shealth were all included.

    They brought over the lime green scales from the BK32. I don't know why Ka-Bar decided to use lime green in the first place.

    Must not have been able to compete with the original bk-9. Now showing discontinued on Amazon and at Midway (2-13-18). Love the idea of a bk-9 with a clear coat handle. Not sure I want to purchase and put in the work of taking off the black powder coat.

    I would love this if it had a finger Choil and a second lanyard hole…. I prefer the slightly curved handle of the TFK, and would do a custom handle scales, white with red spacers… I also think I would prefer a highly polished blade as well. Basically, I prefer a bit of bothe the Becker BK39 and Tahoma Field Knife. Guess I’ll have to do a custom made job…

    I am going to gring off the thumb ramp and bead blast my BK9 then duracoated it in satin clear coat, I added some Micarta Grips and I am looking for a Kydex sheath I will check out Red Feather. The nice thing about a production knife is if you happen to break or lose it, you will still have the sheath (assuming you don't lose it as well) so all you have to do is replace the knife and scales

    Hey Arron I would love to see you review the Condor Moonstalker, especially with a big market of large sized blades oit there at a large size price . The Condor Moonstalker and Moonshiner both are cool solid blades and way cheap for what you get. Anyways I think it would be cool to see your opinion of a poor man's goto knife that doesn't need to be upgraded much. The Moonstalker comes with canvas micarta scales and a thick nylon sheath but the shiner comes with their beautiful leather sheaths.
    Here's to hoping :-D

    That sheath is killer. I like my Bk 9 better than my Junglas as well. But like the Junglas sheath better. I feel like the Junglas has a bit more hand shock, and the blade seems to " Ching Ching Ching " to much. The best though, is one in each hand, lol. Nice video as always.

    Three sixteenth is not thick enough for such a nife . Quarter inch or five sixteenths is what that knife should be. The wight of the tool does the work. Three sixteenth requies you to have to use more force and work harder.,

    I really like the design of both the 7 and the 9, and like so many others I hate the coating. However, in addition to a different coating, I'd like to see a different steel, like the 14/24. However, in the BK9 I'd like to see it in CPM 3V. Talk about a complete package: Size, weight, design, and a steel that would cut through a lightsaber. A BK9 made of CPM 3V would have to be one of the most perfect large blade knives ever made.

    @toddklekotka3340 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thats an awesome rig bud! For the price, its still not bad. Most knives come with a crappy nylon sheath, I wish most companies would offer a kydex or leather at buyers option, but at least this allows other businesses to make money like our custom leather and kydex guys. KaBar should ditch those scales they use on their Becker line, they should use tpe or micarta, be worth the few extra dollars. Wilson tape makes for a cheap temporary fix. Awesome review, keep up the good work!
