Just added two more Beckers to the collection:
I wanted a camp knife primarily for kitchen and cooking use. I couldn't decide on the BK-5 and the BK-15. Mrs. weaponeer said "get both!" That was all the encouragement I needed. We'll see which one she prefers, the other goes to the survival/outdoor gear pile.
So these two new ones get added to the existing family. I'm beginning to feel like I have most of the bases covered:
I haven't done any knife stuff in awhile. I got distracted last fall when I read a book about building AR platform rifles and the bug bit me hard. I spent most of the winter building several (5!) new rifles. Then I got the hots for a short barrel rifle in 300 Blackout with a suppressor, and that got me into the NFA weapons game, which takes a lot of time and money!
I spent most of the summer waiting for the stamps to finish this 9" barrel SBR (with the BK-6 for Becker content):
The short barrel version joins its slightly longer range version, also in 300 BLK, and can also accept the same suppressor:
They all started as parts, like this:
Anyway, just wanted to share the two new Beckers and show off what I have been doing the last year or so. Mrs. weaponeer is very understanding, she knows my hobbies keep me out of the bars at night!
I have to do something in retirement. Right now I am going out to start the fire in the smoker and smoke up some sausage and ribs. I think I'll use the BK-5 to split a little kindling!
