I got my first Becker. Lovin' it!

I see you got the micarta scales too...very nice.
With the BK2 you get a great knife for the $$$...
I've had my BK2 for a couple of years now, it lives in my Jeep bag...I rarely leave home without it...From time to time I take along an esee 5. Yet the becker goes along all the time! guess that says it right there...
I think both are awesome knives. I use the becker and ooh and ahh over the esse...lol

I was thinking about the Esee 5, too. I decided to go with the one I wouldn't feel bad about actually using.

Seneca

The esee is up to it no doubt!
If I got rid of the becker I'd have to use the esee 5...and I'm not getting rid of the becker so...

My only gripe about the becker BK2 was the sheath set up. Great knife soso sheath...I modified my sheath so it now has double snaps and a stiff leather belt loop, it's pretty solid all the way around.

Have you looked at any of the other Beckers? I bought a BK 16 hoping it would be a scaled down version of the the BK2...it's not, they originally billed it as having a sabre grind similar to the BK2 and then they produced it with a full flat grind which was not what I was hoping for when I opened the box...

Anyway for me it's hit or miss with the Beckers and the BK2 is a hit for sure! It's a keeper!

I haven't looked very hard at the other Beckers. After getting my wife settled into my firearms habit, I don't wanna spook her by going knife crazy, too soon. I am, already, feelin' an itch for an Izula, though...

Great call on the BK2, and springing for the micarta was definately a good decision. I've had mine for 3+ years now, and it is a beast.

You may not be looking at any other Beckers right now, but trust me they'll start multiplying...

Thanks, Coffy. A couple of your posts helped me make up my mind.

Congrats, sweet looking knife

Coffy

Cool! You're very welcome.

Ha, not to copy you too much, but I almost just bought a Becker Necker, with micartas of course. However, my wife was around and put a stop to it.

I put a new wrap on the BK-2.

I finally got around to adding a lanyard to my BK2.

Nice looking! I had a BK2 for a little while, then gave it to my brother. Need another one stat

Thanks. I really like mine. I'd love to have a Becker Necker to go with it. But, after having the same EDC knife for nearly 15 years, I can't really justify it.
