- LIKE A RAZOR.TOO BIG TO SHAVE WITH THOUGH..LOLReview by GRANT.E

Very nice,watched loads vids on youtube etc...so was pretty confident about BK9. Turned up yesterday and to my surprise actually felt smaller than what i expected,it is a big knife though. this knife probably came sharper than nearly all my other knives did,and believe me some of them were extremely sharp,the first ever i didn't have to do any thing with the blade at all. Feels very strong,well balanced,i shall be putting some paracord on the handle,certainly till i trust it any way,Sheath pretty good as well,in fact even the box it came in was nice,i really can't find anything i don't like..So well done KA-BAR and nice one HEINNIE,shall do another review when i have used it more..

Extremely satisfied with both the Service from HH and my Purchase of the BKR9 Survival Knife.Rating
While only my first purchase via HH; The professionally efficient and well informed service, coupled with a delivery time of one working day has secured a future returning customer for HH.
Regardless of the common criticisms concerning a rather low quality Sheath and somewhat slick stock Handle-Scales; This Knife meets above and beyond every expectation I had for the BKR9, and at a price well below that of many of its competitors.
Another superb Knife from the Maestro that is Ethan Becker. (Posted on 31 December 2015) - HARD TO BETTER THIS ONEReview by STEVE OF LINCS

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I WILL NOT NEED ANOTHER BLADE OF THIS STYLE EVER AGAIN BAR A MEGA CATASTROPHE.BRING ON THE BECKER/REINHARDT KUKRI ASAP. (Posted on 5 June 2015)Rating - Awesome tool!Review by Stanimal

Very impressed with this knife,and very surprised at the low weight for such a big blade,i have some half the size and still heavier than this! You may think that means it's weak but don't be fooled,this is a super strong blade!Rating
A lot of people seem to complain about the sheath,and i'm quite certain there are much better ones out there (for much more money) but in my opinion this one will be more than up to the task and i'm quite happy with it.
Knife came razor sharp and only a day after i ordered thanks to the amazing service from Heinnie. (Posted on 17 January 2015) - Awesome tool!Review by Stanimal

First of all I will say that I was an early adopter of internet shopping and have had much experience of good and bad sellers. The customer service and quality you receive from HH is second to none. From the communication to the delivery to the packaging they are superb. Buy with confidence.Rating
Now the Becker BK9 you will receive is not the one in the picture above as that is the older model, you will receive the newer model which is better with superior rough powder coating finish not smooth as above and white lazar etched branding not stamped in as above (I knew this before I purchased the knife but just to give you a heads up). The new sheath is better too and very good quality.
I wont bore you with technical details as they are easily available to find but I will say this knife has a 20% edge on an almost full flat grind / hollow grind all the way up to a high grind line near the spine which just eats into wood all day and it splits / batons tough 7" large diameter logs better than any other knife I own. Durable and easily maintained edge. It can do fine work with the Gimping giving control and the swage gives you options for defence etc. Full tang with hammer pommel and lanyard hole, blade edge comes below the Choil so longevity when sharpening too. A very well thought out knife that will last.
I paired this knife with a silky bigboy saw that together easily fit inside any pack and both together weigh less than my Gransfors Brux small forest axe alone (stays at home now if big hikes are involved!). This combo will keep you easily in large diameter firewood for serious campfires with a light pack. I will contend the lightest combo you can get that provides big firewood without effort for extended trips.
From looking at pictures of the BK9 online you get the impression its a big heavy monster chopper but the first thing you notice when you get it is that is much lighter and agile in the hand than you anticipated. I have small hands and thought I would struggle with the grip but I found the grip a perfect size for me.
This knife does have a lot of finesse and just doesn't look as big in real life as it does online, it is light and agile in the hand (this is a good thing). By way of example I own a John Nowill British Army Survival knife and it is like a pry bar,, very heavy and very rough as issued. Its more of a tool than a knife but not so the BK9 which is hair popping sharp and impeccably finished out of the box.
Not the knife for 'out for the day stroll bushcraft' but for extended nights out wild camping / bushcraft overnights this will serve you well and I recommend it without reservation. A stunning knife, very capable and worth every penny, top quality design, materials (CV 10-95 carbon steel I think) and functionality cheap at the price. Designed to be used hard.
My go to excursion blade.

Great tool, very sharp out of the box and no bends/imperfections as per the other reviewers experience.Rating
A large, practical, no-nonsense knife.
Must say I'm a little disappointed with the sheath although it's tough enough for general use and functions 100% as intended with some potential for modification & refinement. (Posted on 24 August 2013) - KA-BAR BECKER BKR9Review by Mark Stringfellow

Slightly lighter than i was expecting with a taper down to a very fine edge indeed thus very sharp out the box! maybe to finer edge for serious abuse,but otherwise its like having a large mora! only negative, it has a slight bend in the blade! not sure if this is a one off or not.

What is the difference between the Cro-van steel and the Cro-van Carbon steel?
A:
Hello, There is a big debate over this topic and Ka-bar has addressed this several years ago:
If you look at the Chemical composition of 170-06, it is basically AISI 1095 with the addition of small amounts of Chrome, Vanadium, and smaller amounts of Nickel and Moly so the term 1095 Cro-Van is not off base.
