Why do pork chops taste so much better when prepared with a BK15? There must be some kind of sorcery in the Becker manufacturing process I think.

I'm really liking the 15. Think I'll have another beer and think on this some more.
 
That 15 looks like it needs to go in my collection. The more I see it the more I want it.
 
It's a chemical reaction from the black powdercoat mixing with pork chops. Your supposed to wipe the 15 down with sweat from a monkeys butt before using it for food prep. Nobody reads the manual. :D
Nice chops, now I'm hungry again.
 
I read that as ''After Dinner Pounding'' for a second, was expecting a tad different sort of thread! LOL


Dang, those 15s looks awesome, and people who have them seem to love them. Nice looking Other White meat too!

So that's what it is. I really need to start reading those things.
 
it's a great knife.

the factory edge was pretty good for filleting some fish, but i think i'll do a little worksharping on it and polish that edge more... bettererer

as well, i used my CRKT M.U.K. knife on the fish too. now THAT just seems to glide right through, and the serration were useful on the spines

both great knive to have in the kitchen

the BK17 is growing on me as a opening packages knife and cutting up hotdogs :)

the BK16 might just be the best bush knife i've played with yet.
 
Sweet. I don't have the 15...yet, but I do have the 5 and it rocks in the kitchen. The 15 is definitely on my short list of blades to purchase!!

Doubt there will be any of that. Here's how I messed up:

Me: "Honey, could you take a picture of me cutting this pork?"
Wife: "Why? Oh, are you going to post pictures of your knife on the internet again?"
Me: "Yep"

Wife gives me disgusted look.

Wife: "Wait a minute. I've never seen THAT knife before."

Crap!

Me: "But, But... it is the world's greatest steak knife."

Wife shakes her head, takes picture, and walks away. She doesn't get it. Now I don't either.

Oh lord! That made me chuckle, thanks!

I suggest you get flowers and when she asks why say ''just because your beautiful'' LOL
 
Tell her you won it on the forum in a giveaway, that's what I say. Even though ive never won....haha congrats on the 15
 
that's why i keep them all looking the same. She just calls it the black knife or black gun. Tricky that way.

Keep at it. My wife doesn't even ask anymore. If she says "Is that a new one", I ask if she needs anything for her sewing or other craft stuff and it's all good. :thumbup:

I'm already thinking of getting a 2nd BK15 for full-time use in the kitchen.
 
Is this an entry in the cooking contest? Cause it probably should be :) Mmm pork chops. Thanks for sharing. Also, I now feel inclined to get a 15. And a 5.

Think it is hard to hide a new knife? I have a hobby of restoring vintage woodworking equipment. Whenever a new drill press or tablesaw jumps out at me on craigslist I go out and purposefully move equipment around in the garage/workshop to confuse her. Though it is hard to disguise when you've got a trailer backing down the driveway with a 1000lb cast iron lathe on it...
 
Very nice, since i got my 15 it is the only knife I have used in the kitchen. It is awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone pondering it. I think it is my sharpest ka-bar from the factory yet.

I'm going to worksharp mine as well. Seemed razor sharp out of the box, but I'll admit that the raw pork took quite a bit of the edge off.

Saw this coming. Pretty sure kid #1 could have managed to snap a picture for you.
 
That might work, but then again she would probably tell mommy all about how she took a picture of daddy with a knife. Then I'd be in double trouble.
