I think that KaBar made their best ever decision in joining forces with Mr. Becker - the man is a knife design genius. And true, the two Beckers I had from a year and a half ago were hideous - a sufficiently hard plastic sheath suspended from some flimsy nylon upper stuff which gave the effect of seeing a limp..well, you know. But I would trust my life to these blades. Looking forward to the project. And fwiw - treasure that family time. One day it won't be there. Trust me.

I don't personally, but some people love it. I think it's too much of a good thing. You can't break it...That's why they call it the Becker Train-Wrecker. But I think it's too short for the thickness. I had one, couldn't get into it the way I do the 7 and 9.

I have a several BKs as well as some Bucks and I love them. My wife carried a BK2 in Afghanistan and I carried a Buck in Desert Storm. Anyway, I checked my BK9 because it has the new sheath much like you have in your video and it's still stock, and it came with a BK13 in the outer sheath (as you had mentioned). But the BK7 I got just a few weeks ago had the same configuration (sheath and no BK13) as yours. Good work.

I have made 3 or 4 knives of my own. It was interesting to do, I had three friends who were blade Smith's and I got to watch them and learn. I was doing leather work for two of them and we swapped out the sheaths for knives. Have had good luck with using slices of fresh lemon to wipe the clean blades with and add the aging effect. Apply a coat and let it dry some,. If it's not enough add more. Remember, OOOO wool will blend or remove it

I have a Schrade SCHF-9, and, IMHO, it's the best $40 survival knife available bar none, and it's a heck of a lot better than a lot of knifes costing significantly more! In fact, the only 'bad' thing I can think of to say about it is that the 'sexy' recurve blade style can be difficult to sharpen on a sharpening stone. (The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener takes care of that problem right quick though, especially if you spring for the Ken Onion Edition! HIGHLY recommended!!!)

I've watched a lot of knife videos, over the past 1+ year and played with quite a few blades. I've vacillated between one bushcraft knife, in the 4" to 5" blade length range AND a two knife system. Think I've become a fan of the two knife system. My two knife system would include a larger knife, with a 6" or larger primary knife and a sidekick blade. Maybe a BK 14. Maybe a Mora. Some folks don't like Moras. BUT, I'm a fan. IMO, for the money, you won't find a better knife. Nice blade. Nice handle. Heck, it even floats. You know what that means? You can use it as a floatation device! ... OK, maybe I gotta lose a few pounds before a Mora will keep me above water. But, they're nice knives. In a 2 knife system, the BK7 is a terrific primary knife. I have a Cold Steel SRK & I like it. Got a Cold Steel Bushman. That's a lotta knife for under $30. Stout & versatile. Got a Schrade SCHF9 (which rocks for a sub $40 knife) and a couple of Condors. After playing with them all ... I prefer my recently acquired BK7. My SRK is 2nd. I may take my BK7 to Survival Tactics and have Steve ... 1. make a kydex sheath for it and 2. duracoat it in scarlet and gray and engrave / name it BRUTUS Hey, what can I say. I'm a 5th generation Buckeye ;-)

Chris, I'm pretty new to knives. In fact, I'm a liberal and have generally thumbed my nose at people that are into guns and knives. However, there is something primal about having a great knife that I can't resist. So, I bought an ESEE-6 awhile ago and love it. But I have to say I really liked the looks of this BK7. Love that handle shape and style. Like the look of the blade as well. Intimidating with style. I'm gonna pick one up. Really enjoy your work here...intensity combined with humor. Well done.
