SHTF Fixed blade

My new BK-2






First Impressions

The heft and thickness of the blade is nice, very sharp out of the box,feels like I could cut myself out of a downed aircraft or car with this... The Grivory grips are slick, but not to bad, I am definitely getting the Micarta grips for it....

I'll have to get out and use it, overall, for $60 Shipped, I am very happy.

Recently a very good friend passed on a Strider DB-L to me. I've wanted one for several years but always put off purchasing one for one reason or another. I guess everything happens for a reason. I have placed it on my first line belt and so far I really liked this knife. I just wish I could find some green grips for it.

Check out blind horse knives. Local guys. Good stuff.

i like the change in the pommel with the addition of the impact type design for hammering or striking. as for the grips, ive considered flattening them out with a belt sander and stippling them with a soldering gun. there was a fella on blade forum that did it, and it looked to be a major improvement. if i dont like them, then i can go with the micartas. nice knife tho, im sure youll be happy with it, mine is the closest thing ive ever owned to being a sharpened prybar. BTW, heres a link to the BK&T section of blade forum where Mr. Becker is always helpful...i hope it works LOL... http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=827

Oh yeah, remember when we made that knife that would be a really good SHTF knife? Well, we only make knives now in machete size. We're trying to be the next Gil Hibben crossed with Mad Dog knives.

Soulrack,

But seriously, that knife you posted does look very nice. I wish they still made something like that.

This is exactly why Busse started http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ (and swamprat to a lesser degree) In my opinion they are best best bang for knives of their kind out there.

I liked the "Pig Sticker" myself. It didn't actually affect my pee-pee though.

Are those something that is readily available? I thought they were just as hard to find. I like the look of the Yard Keeper and the Dumpster Mutt, and would order a YK if I knew where to order from and they had stock.

I don't have any pictures of it since I am in Afghanistan right now but, I carry a Benchmade fix blade and I have a benchmade auto knife I use also. Of course I would never buy these with my own money but they were issued to me!
