KaBar Becker BK7 knife?

[lightsoutcalls]

I ordered one of these yesterday and was curious if anyone here has any experience with them?



I read a bunch of reviews on a number of websites before ordering.  I wanted something for a possible hog hunt with chase dogs.  (Yes I will be packing the Ruger GP100 .357 as well.)  Something I have also wanted for quite some time is a knife/hatchet/tool that would split a deers pelvic bone without having to hack repeatedly or use a saw.  This thing has a 7" blade that is 1/4" thick, is just over 12" total length and weighs in just over 3/4 lb.  It has a lifetime warranty as well.  The worst part about the deal in the reviews was the fact that it has a flimsy sheath.  I'm looking at a custom kydex sheath that holds a firesteel on the side...

It ought to be a good'un. Bet it will work.

HOLY COW!  I got my knife in yesterday (expected 7-10 day shipping).  I pulled it out of the box and ran it down the back of my forearm...  The side of the knife looked like it was wearing shag carpet!!! 

My forearm...?  Looks like Kojak's head (showing my age).  Seriously, I can run my finger "against the grain" where there used to be hair and don't even feel stubble.  That is one SERIOUSLY sharp knife!

I'm working on a deal with a custom sheath maker and will post pics and a link to his website once I get the sheath in.  I hope to put a pig down in OK in a couple of weeks to try this thing out.  I think I'm also going to check out the Kabar/Becker line out for a neck knife and maybe the BK2 model.
