No, it's not a Becker...but since the BK-11, one of my favorite small knife designs ever, played such a part in influencing the design I'm posting a link to it here.

Very nice. I really like knives this size. Also I agree the 11 is just about the best knife of it's size.
 
What knife is that? It's nice whatever it is. I do like it. The only problem I have with the 11 is the handle is too small for me.

Thanks man, me too. Oh yeah, the BK-11 has always been one of my favorites. I have one now that is always near me and I am going to have Eli of Godspeed Tactical make me a pouch sheath for it.

I already know you know the answer at this point on which knife. I wanted this one to have a long enough handle without being too long for a neck knife.

Thanks man. What is it with you and naked steel lol? JK, I actually want one of these made out of stonewashed S35VN or similar stainless that's naked.

I just dont like coatings, I will just mess 'em up, then the knife looks marred. I prefer to just strip it ALL off to start with.

I just searched, don't see this knife anywhere....is it in production/sale yet?

Probably not. I think I have the first one that left the TOPS shop, and the first one anyone other than the guys at TOPS has even seen. I got it before sheaths were even made because I want to do the photos for their website myself. Pretty sure there will be at least a few available at Blade but will be after Blade before the next batch is run. No idea how many they make in a batch though.
 
Nice knife.

Got my forums messed up - Clicked on the link and posted there (lol)

Really is a sweet knife though. Good job.
 
Guys, Check his link. He actually designed this and Tops is manufacturing it. So not only is it a cool knife, its very cool that Mist now has his own blade in production.

Gratz Man! That is a fine looking piece of steel, and a very cool accomplishment.
 
it looks great and if this is the same mistwalker its not his first design in production!!

Any other mistwalker is an imposter! :D And you're right, it's not the firat one in production...and unless something goes horribly wrong it won't be the last :)
 
I like it Mist. You did a good job with that one.How does it throw a spark and can you open a bottle with the opening in the grip?

Thanks man. Well, with 1095 it should throw great sparks using the edge. Still admiring it so haven't beat it up any just yet... TOPS doesn't square their spines because it is a stress riser that weakens the blade, they break (slightly round) all outside angles except for the edge. Not with the hole no, but I just popped a to using the handle as a lever with my finger as the fulcrum :)
 
Thanks man. I am really liking 1095 it is some tough stuff. I hope I will be able to get one of these from two wolves some time soon?

1095 is tough stuff, I like it for everything other than long term use in a salt water environment and with care it works fine there. Lisa carries some of the TOPS knives so hopefully she will carry this one too :)
