WOW, it has been 10 years and 4 days since I signed and delivered my Beckerhead application!!:
https://bladeforums.com/threads/an-evening-project-or-the-mythical-bk-2-3.817266/
If you've ever wondered about the cryptic BH# in my .sig, it's a calculation of 66, which was picked as the integral floor of 2/3 of 100 to match my application above.
To honor this momentous moment, my rapidly approaching 10,000th post, and ten years of knifemaking, I would like to give back to the community of Beckerheads with whom I have spent most of my BF electrons.
To mirror my original BH Application, which chronicled my attempt to make a 2/3-scale BK-2 (last seen hanging on Ethan's wall in his old shop!)... that was my second knife ever...
I will be giving away a 2/3-scale riff of my most recent Becker-Inspired design, The singular AuK-3:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/auk3-kephart-in-a2-and-burlap-micarta.1721436/
RULES:
1) You must be a Beckerhead by the time I hit 10k and the giveaway closes
2) You must be 18+ years old and legal to receive a knife in your jurisdiction by closing
3) You must reside in the United States (CONUS+2)
4) You must own at least THREE Becker knives by closing, and list them (no fibbing!)
5) You must post at least one picture of your most inspiring Becker knife (or knives) with an explanation of why they are meaningful to you OR of what they have inspired you to do
6) If you win, please send pictures of the AuK-3 with its Becker brethren, especially including a BK-62 if you have one.
I will close the contest when I reach 10k. Selection will be by random drawing vs. post #s, modulo exceptional applications that may be granted additional entries.
ETA: BTW, our very own 710 (BH#710
) made the burlap mycarta that became scales on this knife. This really is a Beckerhead production!
