I hear ya man. I think I only own one knife I've never used. A Becker proto that never went into production.
I love Beckers too! I have or have had: bk9, 7, 2, 14, and 16. Ethan is a knife deity and most beckerheads are awesome but I didn’t feel comfortable over there because some people there are really snarky and overly defensive. You can’t be mildly critical about beckers or they’ll jump down your throat.
Just made a post on there and immediately got a snarky reply. I’m done with their forum. I’ve been in the esee forum now for years, never got a snarky reply.
See that's what's great about this forum. No chance of a snarky response, yet zero chance of even one thread being taken completely seriously.
I picked up this bk16 that someone had busted the tip off of....made it into a Becker Kephart or Beckhart (notbmy name...see the thread started by Warrior in the Becker forum) Before After
I got with @Allen Morrison last week to make me a molle compatible sheath for my BK17. And he delivered yet again Less than 18 hours after first contacting him he was done and ready to drop it in the mail. He even contacted me and was on the phone with me at 9 pm making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Now that's service! I carry my 17 on my plate carrier at work and here it is on my carrier Thanks again Allen!
