Hi guys,
A proud BK-9 ownder, and a looooong time bladeforum lurker here!
I have purchased a BK-7 because..., well I have a problem and I love knives! Seriously though, I am in Europe and except my leatherman and a swiss army knife, my blades are back home in Canada. So I decided to get a blade and although I LOVE BK-9, as I actually used and abused it and was impressed with it every time, I also heard a lot about BK-7 and wanted to try it.
What I wanted: a reliable main blade.
Purpose: looking bad ass, ego boost, and killing zombies.
Secondary tasks: general camping main knife (actually camping in outdoors), battoning wood, wood processing, starting fire (spine to be modified), some food processing, etc.
Other tools on me: a folding saw, a leatherman.
I am asking for people who actually use their knives on relatively regular bases to chip in and make a suggestion for a secondary blade. At the moment I am leaning towards BK11 or BK14 (for ego boost to have a BK set..., and quality) or a mora knife.
No, I am not planning to survive out there but really just camp for couple of days with my dog. I don't consider my leatherman or swiss army knife a reliable secondary woods knife so please make your suggesitons based on:
-a knife that doesn't break the bank
-a reliable medium duty back up knife
-NOT a super steel
-either around my neck (sometimes I be out in the cold and want it easily accessable) or in my backpack. Any other suggestion is welcome.
Are my choices fine or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
