I didn't say I like it better.. I think the price point of the BK10 is attractive. Is the TAK-1 30% better? I don't know, I never thought of the TAK-1.. There are so many knives out there, its hard to decide.. I currently have several knives, and have the cold steel SRK in my bob. I think the 2 things that attract me to the BK10 is the price and the storage area in the handle.
