The BK-9 is now a time tested and proven design. If you are going to haul around a great big bad arse knife to chop and baton with I say this one is an A++ choice because it doesn't break, it works, the ergonomics are good, and the price isn't insane. There are a lot of worse options out there.

The intro is freaking awesome, love it! I really enjoyed this vid, keep the awesome work going Tac!

Thank you for your great videos -- love your show because you don't pretend-- you are real without seeking you

I really enjoy ur testing vids. thanks tac!!

This knife is sure no GSO10, but at a third the price, I love it. I can not say enough good when referring to my BK9. I feel this is one of the top "choppers" out there. Thanks for the video Tac, keep up the good work.

Mine impresses me more, every time I use it. Thanks for showing the folks Tac :)

been wanting one of these for years such a kick ass knife thanks tac

Great review Tactical. The sheath in this video is KABARs old sheath. Over a year ago they switched to a similar but better sheath with Molle. So by now most BK9's will come with the new sheath.

love you reviews, you are da man... for some reason I don't get notices when you post a new one... but I check in form time to time so don't miss much. Keep up the good work!

Right on Brother, That is one that is on my bucket list. Thanks Bro.

Thanks for the vid. A tip for you: I stippled the stock grips on mine, and it has a great feel now. Free upgrade.

Nice! I love my BK9 Mine also came super sharp!!!

Tac, you are a BEAST my brother!

Man, your videos have grown on me. Funny as hell. I need to get this blade and pair it with my Ontario SP51. Call it the beast pack!

Awesome! I was waiting for you to do this blade!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN YOURE GREAT

If I had the money, I would buy one of these with the micarta handles. Great looking knife. Nice review.

Hey Tac- Great video, Love the Becker BK9- Monster knife and great performer..Aaaw yeah..

The best show on the tube hands down

One sexy knife, Someday I will own one! Right now I'm loving my BK-7

The BK9 is a freaking tank. I wish Id have gotten one when I bought my BK7 before they switched coatings to the shit grit. Also love the older stamped logos vs the laser etching. Love to see any and all Becker knives especially out of you, Tac.

I have 2 a new one and an old one. I stripped the new one to find a hidden stonewashed blade. My older one escaped the factory without bring stamped, so its unmarked entirely. I did research and Ethan himself said it was an uncommon occurance for some of his blades.

Great review brother. I've always wanted one but just didn't know how it would stand up, did everything like a boss

+SOUTHERN CROSS SURVIVAL Get it, a must have. That knife is a boss and the steel is great.

just got one and I love it

The bk9 is a legend for a reason! Comfort and performance are top shelf. Replace the handle scales and sheath and it's perfect.

Commentary is amazing.

This is why I like your videos, Tactical. You test and review things I actually care about. Thanks to your video on the United Cutlery M48 spear, I lost interest in it and didn't waste my money on it.

ı usually watch your videos for intro videos, you are crazy man :D

I know I'm late to the party, but as far as the handle goes, stippling it is probably the best, cheapest way to fix that slippy texture. Just takes a bit of time, no extra cost. Just make sure not to make it too aggressive so you don't hurt your hand. Even hockey tape would probably work pretty good from what I've seen. Idk how long that lasts though, I'm waiting for my BK9 to come in the mail at the moment and I definitely plan to stipple it. I also believe they've upgraded the sheath since this video was made, making it tighter fitting, and the issue with the straps being cut when the knife is drawn fixed. Then again I might just buy a 50 dollar custom kydex sheath for it some day. Yeah it increases your cost a lot, and puts you in the range of the Esee Junglas and Cold Steel Trailmaster, but a custom kydex sheath is better than what those come with anyway and I prefer the size and style of the BK9.

I think stippling is the best because it doesn't add any extra weight.

I knew you where gonna give it an 8 lol. This BK9 is freaking awesome, great knife. Glad you finally decided to review this bad boy. Thanks Tac. Now review your Fallkniven S1 :P please please

Good job with the test, I really like the knife it performed nice.might have to get one.

AWWW YEEUUUUURGH *Smashes up logs*, this man enjoys his life, I need to do this more with my BK7 XD

Hell of a blade . nice vid man.

All sheaths off great test

Impressive, most impressive

Neato ! I always believe the the sheath should run in tandem with a quality blade , which this is , too bad the sheath for the BK9 is little more than a place to store the blade while it's being shipped to you. Really like your knife videos !

Bro your as informative as you are funny. I love your show keep it up

awesome video as always my brother , will be pickin one up soon

Mr. Tactical going Classical...with that intro music ;-)

Hell yeah! Niiiiiice knife! Awesome review buddy, ah yeah!

BK9 looks like an awesome knife.

Tactical, you're a sick sick sick man. That's why we love you. LOL

Those zombie logs are evil. I'm glad you're out there killing those things to keep us all safe. Thank goodness for the BK9.

That looks like inner tube to me! I used a piece of mountain bike inner tube on my CS Jungle machete and hawk. It's also good for sheaths if you want to carry something inside your belt - and pants - without it slip/sliding around.

yeah, no hand shock - tho i have micarta handles. the micarta handles i feel add a bit better balance to teh blade; makes it less blade heavy. Awesome vide!

I thought you had the bk9, my bad..... I stripped off the coating and opted for micarta scales on it, put a 90 degree spine on it to strike a ferro rod, now it's a complete survival blade... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinion on this awesome blade from Becker knives, I appreciate it sir Tac 🔫😎🔫

Great video. ..

nice video your funny guy , 5* man your one of the best youtubers and reviewers of gear & knifes , i have ever seen online 5* . BK9 & BK7 the best knifes in the world for every task you need they can completed without question or doubt ;) 5*

I love my BK9. It my go to do it in tool. It is a hell of lot better than my wife, it does what I ask it to do and never complains. Great knife. I would highly recommend it. Sheath is OK, not great, but it works. If they increase the price by $15 and ass the micarta handles, this knife will kill knives that cost double that price.

Icould watch you wack yor wood all day man. You always do really good knife reviews

I own so many cool knives, but You can't beat the BK9, even at that price range, i beat the S:::: out of my BK9 for about 3 years now every freaking week, the edge on this thing is curiously holding dam well, they add to put some magic powder on this 1095CV ;) man, this knife is a real beast and always with me, i love the balance of this thing too, Hi from France mate! keep the good work!

Still the King of Blades after all these years.

Tact is crazy as shit. I love these videos

I beat the snot out of my BK9 last summer when I cut down a tree. I used it to delimb most of the branches, even hacked at stump quite a bit. I couldn't believe how sharp it was after 2 days of abuse. My axe and hatchet didn't fair so well

BK9 is BAD ASS! I want to try an Esee Junglas sometime for comparison.

I heard the Saudi Arabian Executioners buy this knife and gave up on their Scimitar Swords for a BK-9?

Tac. You have to use tennis wilson wrap on all the becker handles. The wilson wrap doesn't slid up and down like that dumb ranger band does. Thanks for the videos. Very informative.

I just fucking love my BK9. THEY ARE AWESOME!

Good stuff Tac

You got the voice of a commercial airline pilot

So Tac, if you had to choose between the BK-9 and the Junglas, which would you take?

Dude how friggin sick is this blade? i just got the clear coat version. friggin love it.

Me and my buddy put his BK 9 through about 15 logs 6 feet long and about 8-9 inches long. That knife is a beast.

Great review of this beast Tac! Your videos are hilarious....."Here comes a car....." I just received a new Becker BK9 because I was interested in the comparable length against the Ontario SP51. Also the saber grind, full width handle tang and pommel. But I have to say I am kind of disappointed in the thickness and handle feel compared to the 1/4" SP51. The BK9 handle feels a little short and I don't have huge hands. My only knock on the SP51 is the handle tang as I'd rather have a full width tang on large fixed blades. But after owning the SP43, SP46, SP49 and SP51 I am absolutely sold on 5160 and it's toughness. I don't know if Ka-Bar's 1095 CroVan can match Ontario's 5160. Any chance you can do a review of the SP51?

BK9 and ESEE Junglas are the top shelf for me, but for the money, BK9 is incredible.

Yup, One of my Fav. 2Knife carry is the BK-9 and the BK-10 plus with my neck knife the BK-14 with Slabs, Only my Rodent 9 teamed up with my Ratmandu tops the Mighty BK-9 and the BK-10 pair, We'll my Bark River Golok and the Bravo 1 is way up there too and for sure my White Handle Himalayan Imports M - 43 and my new Battle Horse modified Attitude also with a White Handle. Oh yeah because of you I got my Stromeng KS-9 and KS-5 is a nice traditional set, By the way, Lars Munson crossed Canada using the Stromeng KS - 9 how kewl is that, Your OK you potlicker heh heh heh

Subbed and liked. Any good aftermarket sheaths that you know of for the bk9?

If that knife was two inches longer it could be classified as a sword. It looks like a nice looking knife and it must be a great tool also.

I own one and a bit of sand papering gives me a good purchase on the gun.

I found your channel while surfing KZread, I like the way you do your reviews. I am not much of a gun guy but I enjoy your knife videos, real cool. I mostly play with folders, in fact I have no medium to large survival/camp knife, but I am looking for a good camp knife. Traction on the handle is a big element for me because I have early arthritis in my hands and so I can't always grip as well as I want to. That all to say, I have never heard of "Ranger Bands" to help with gripiness. Can you provide any more info on exactly what those are and where you get them?

Great blade, a real workhorse indeed. So an 8+, sweet.
