Love the sheath, harpoon blades are growing on me! Great video! I always look forward to a upbeat positive weekend review on something fun!

@atch_n_sons 4 года назад

Opened my eyes to the BK 16, great installment and review. Thank you

@stevelewis1721 4 года назад

I've collected well over a hundred high quality folders. About a year ago I started giving that collection a run for my money with fixed blades. What's wrong with me?!! Thanks, I think, for feeding my addiction.

@WhispyWoods. 4 года назад

Yes!!! Gideon's Tactical reviewing a new Becker knife. I feel like I'm back in the heyday of outdoor gear reviews of RU-vid in 2015.

@ManInTheWoods76 3 года назад

I just now bought this knife, $80 to the door. Can't wait. Love your reviews. Didn't know about this knife at all until your Best of 2020 vid. Been a careful selection process to fill the "kephart, Rat3, bushcraft, tactical response, EDC when I can" niche. Thank you so much for the review. Serious survivalist end user here. Thumbs up, brother

@lonestarpatriot876 4 года назад

Yep, looks very much like my Esee 4 HM with some minor differences. Same exact price once you add the Micarta which the Esee 4 HM comes with. AZ Welke rocks. Glad to see Becker putting a new blade in their line-up.

@rmpj13 4 года назад

It was delivered today with the micarta scales. Thanks Aaron, you really have a way of delivering excellent content with relevant information plus practical application. This is proof that you value your viewers and their time. Take care .

@daleclark3138 3 года назад

Didn't know about this BK18 until I saw your video. Ordered one from SNKW for less than $70. Had thought about ordering a BK16 or RAT 5 but like the look of this one more. Last bought a Becker eight years ago. Looking forward to getting this BK18. Thanks.

@augreich 4 года назад

I did see your post on RU-vid for the BK 18 in black. I had to buy it!! Thank you for your review. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. I like it because it's a hybrid of self defense, Tacticle, and bushcraft.

@L.T.112 4 года назад

I would love to see more knives with Harpoon style blades! From the pure looks of it the new BK18 ist my favorite in the lineup! Thank you for the review, God bless you and your family and stay save!

@Tier1GearEDCReviews 4 года назад

I'm a sucker for a good harpoon blade. This one is ok. I have a black one. It does the job but not as well as the Tops Alaskan Harpoon or the Hinderer Ranch Harpoon. Which are both personal favorites of mine in terms of how they perform.

@troymanning3150 4 года назад

Thanks Aaron! I love this thing! Nice sheath and came razor sharp. I think now I need the black one also. Be careful though... the Knife Connection makes amazing scales for BK’s but I don’t think they work with the factory sheath.

@GAR85120514 4 года назад

Found this just before the current crisis came on. It had that blade design that iv never tried. Really liking the knife and the sheath on mine has zero movement. Thanks.

@ed5042 2 года назад

@ronaldrose7593 4 года назад

Hello my Outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this great review. It's certainly a great price point for a top quality knife. All the best to you and your family. 🤗

Good Value knife. That being said I have about 4 fixed blades in that size range. I am on a kick of getting smaller fixed blades that I can EDC.

@brianf9619 4 года назад

AWESOME BLADE , and it's about time ... I went and broke out my BK15 and BK16 just for this video , I always loved my BK Tweeners and really kicked myself in the butt for never getting the BK17 , but I won't miss out on this one , I'm soo happy Ethan finally decided to add to the Tweener series of knives , do you think he has a 19 and 20 in the works ?? That would be great....✌ Be Safe...😷

@rmpj13 4 года назад

Finally, a Becker that gets my attention. Seriously considering the purchase but, when do you know you have enough knives: 10, 20, 30????? Maybe I need an intervention. Please send help.

@SteveSmith-sd5hq 4 года назад

I was so stoked to see this knife come out. I've been waiting on one like this for a while. The only hang-up I have is that gross brown on brown action they've got going on with the knife and sheath. I, typically, wear brown pants when I'm out in the wilderness, I don't want my knife to be brown, too; I'm not a tree. If they come out with an all black version, they've got my dough.

@brettg9025 2 года назад

Man great video once again!! I took your advice and brought an OKC Rat5 to my military survival school and worked great as a general survival knife. However, it feels a bit dumpy as a tactical knife ie piercing, slashing etc… After watching this video I am questioning my Rat 5 for a tactical survival knife as my hope is I will be doing more tactical and less survival lol. After watching your video, what are some good crossover tactical/survival knives? Thanks again for all your content!

How do you like the bk16? Im on the fence between the 16 and 18, they both look awesome!

@internetperson2314 2 года назад

@@TST594 I have both and they are each excellent. The sheath alone makes the 18 the better buy and the one I reach for more often.

@willieboy3011 4 года назад

Hard to beat an Esee with this type of knife and 1095; however, I like that large sweep blade, Also it is made in USA. I have a parangatang K-Bar machete with 1095, and it is awesome, although I know a machete (13" blade) is not the same as a knife--even with the same steel.

@mattiassogna3058 2 года назад

I believe this knife is tactical/combat first then bushcraft later. Am I wrong?

@darrenboorman4365 4 года назад

Hey Aaron, when is too much belly on a knife too much?

@redoak3809 4 года назад

Don't want to deal with the coating or the need to buy aftermarket idems such as the scales. However, that huge belly is nice. This is more of a utility blade than anything. It is a little too short for a survival knife. For over a $100 there are much better options for my purposes. Bring back the BK10, and the Condor Wayfinder rocks.

@jamesondancy2183 4 года назад

You can smooth the coating down if you like with some sandpaper and 5 minutes, Mr. Becker taught me that trick. The factory scales work great and minimize blisters, there are videos of people stabbing trees with them after covering it was oil, good to go as is. The BK-10 is still available. Becker’s are very ergonomic in hand and high quality for the money.

@ricas1143 4 года назад

Hey Aaron sorry for the offtopic question.. But while on a hike, why do you need/have your friend/dog on a leash? Cheers

@darrenboorman4365 4 года назад

Ricardo deCarvalho maybe to maintain social distancing. Or maybe to stop the dog approaching people who don’t want to be approached by a dog.

@emmitt4313 4 года назад

Does the blade shape affect it's ability to be sharpened with the worksharp field sharpener?

@sheltermonkey6065 4 года назад

According to Ethan Becker, the sheath is constructed of polyoxymethylene (POM), commonly known as acetal or Delrin, and has no glass fiber content.

@jarvisskooge8602 4 года назад

Reminds me of a Tops Shango XL... I've had mine for years and I'm very satisfied with 440c stainless. I'm tired of babying 1095 and dealing with rust.

@ronfry5851 4 года назад

Meanwhile on another note Kim trails are still being put out N Vacaville California

@Jammaster1972 4 года назад

BK9, BK 11, BK16 still the best of the bunch for bushcraft and camping needs. Don't see the purpose of the BK18 unless the goal was to stab something in the chest, in which case, why not just get the BK7 ("now that's a knife" Croc D.)? I have to admit the look of the harpoon is cool, but for a knife this size, is all that extra belly really necessary? I was tempted to buy this, but after patiently waiting and watching my now 3rd reviewer, I think I'll stick with my flat ground BK16 (this knife is close to perfection, though unfortunately like most Beckers, you need to modify it a little). I have mine tricked out like Gideon, new taco kydex sheath, stripped blade patina, but no micarta scales. I find the G10 scales are way better than micarta (grippier and easier to clean). I don't care for choils (waste of blade space), 90 degree spines or bow drill handles. I have to give Becker credit, he's great at blade design and keeps coming out with new things.

I bought this knife because I’ve heard ka-bar makes some good quality stuff, but I am not a fan of the typical “ka-bar” handle. This is a really cool little knife. I got the micarta scales too.

@DB.KOOPER 10 месяцев назад

Who needs a sheath that complicated??? Nobody... Most folks would be fine with a leather sheath and simple kydex is more then enough for the most hardcore knife uses around. "fancy sheaths" are a GIMMICK.
