Just curious! Seems like a length that isn't filled yet in the Becker line. I would rather spend my money on a Becker and I need another project to make another set of grips.......
Anyone else interested in that length? What kind of profile would you like to see in a 6 inch Becker? Something like a modified BK2 shape or a shorter BK7?
Thanks
 
the tweeners may fit the bill...

mod a BK9 the way you want - ideal platform to make lots of shapes...

the BK12 is going to be really sweet
 
Should only be another month or so wait (we're hoping) for the Ritter Perseverance.
 
Yeah, the Ritter Perseverance looks like it's going to be sweet. Six inches, 3/16-inch thickness, Rowen-manufactured, it's looking good.

I'm curious, though: Will the fact that Rowen manufactures the blade have anything to do with the F&F? Because I know they make knives for TOPS and ESEE, both of whom are known for absolutely stringent F&F standards.

So will Shon's hand in the manufacturing see an increase in quality among the Beckers? And by quality I just mean how well the scales are fit to the blade (i.e. no raised edges, I want it absolutely flush to the tang, like my ESEEs) and grind-regularity? Because those are the only two things I can level against the Beckers when it comes to quality, especially considering the price.
 
The Ritter/Becker foots that bill in my mind. Drop point, good thickness, Becker handle, etc., etc...
