    Is that a camillus version?
    If so, you should have really bought a Kabar version to do that too.

    Otherwise I like it! Looks great!

    why is the camillus version any kind of special

    okay, i know they went for STUPID money when they were out of production, but at this point, they're affordable enough to buy 4:1 and sock a few a away.

    it's pretty tough to sell something as "rare" and out-of-production, when they're aren't anymore

    cover the planet in Beckers!

    Nice!
    It's weird, but I just finished modifying my BK11 today. Also removed coating and put on some jimping. I also put an Olive wood handle on it long time ago.
    Will post pix tomorrow.

    Sorry not everyone has 10 hanging around like you MR President

    It's not that they are worth anymore then the current production, it's that they are rare on the secondary market at least from what I've seen.

    Even an old beat up one can be sanded, polished and made to be a nice collection piece.
    Has nothing to do with the resale value, at least to me.

    My Becker's once bought stay with me forever.
