finer type work with a BK9? Like what? I find that shorter blades do "finer work" better.

you can make fuzz sticks and frgure 4 triggers comfortably all day with a BK9.I'm saying for a big knife your not limited to just chopping.:cool:
yes for finer work better I would use my RC-3 or RC-4.

My comment was if someone does not do any chopping, what advantage would there be in purchasing a BK7 if you already have a Campanion?

Someone once stated when asked, why did they climb Mt Everest. They stated "Because it's there".
I think that applies to this as well.
 
Lol, that much I can guess. But he said that the bk9 could do nothing that the bk7 couldn't so he didn't need a 9, I was just wondering with that same logic what the advantage of the bk7 would be if he already had a bk2.

Its just a curiosity question. I have read many times that a 4-5" knife is just able ideal for a survival/utility knife. One of the main advantages of a longer blade is the ability to chop, another would be to act as a scythe. He said he does not use knives to chop and I was just wondering what, for him, the benefit of the BK7 is beyond the BK2. If his answer is, "its a cool knife and I like it." That is more than good enough for me.

For me personally I am not as fond of saber grinds as I am full flat grinds. Although I would not classify any of the Becker's as a full flat grind, some are closer then others. I was curios if this made a difference to him also.
 
I would love to see a slightly downsized Becker knife.

Lengthen the BK11 blade to 4.5" - keep the shape and thickness - and add a Becker handle - maybe a slightly slimmed-down less beefy handle.
