Anyone know why they ever switched from stamped to laser ???
My understanding is that ease of production was the biggest factor.
MY PRECIOUS!It is real and is very rare.

and that's a bad thing?why is rick not posting anymore?
How come the 5 & 15 gets 'heavily discounted' (I know about the package deal)? - I realize the Model 9 cult it large but are the two not popular Beckers?I read that the BK5 is going the way of the BK15, and it's pretty heavily discounted on most sites right now, so naturally I had to buy one.

My 5 and 15 are amongst my favorites for the rake of the blade for how practical they are round camp. I like them both A LOT.
Lol, Ive LIKED Beckers for a while but only got my first Becker recently.The 5 and 15 have been discontinued - hence the discounts. Have you been hiding under a rock, lol? (Just in case you have, the 4 has been discontinued, as well.)
That's as fine a Photoshop as I've seen. Dubz, are you sure you're not in on this conspiracy?![]()

I wasnt aware, that I'd committed a Becker subforum social faux pas. I havent been that active in here as compared to else where on the forum.
Okay thenI forgot the smiley to indicate jest...but at least I threw in a lol.
I miss news of new and/or discontinued knives all the time.
I agree.There's no accounting for tastes. Actually, I understand how the khukuri shape (the 4) doesn't appeal more widely, but apparent reception of the 5/15 puzzles me a little more.
wasnt there something about the 15 being designed by Ethan in conjunction with Mr. Fisk (and what could be better than THAT!)?
And the 5 not being designed by either but more a derivative of the 15?.
DOH! Thats of course what I meant. Not what I wrote but what I meant, lol. ThxI switched them around and I even have both knives... (insert head-banging-against-brick wall emoticon here)
..that begs the question, why these where not in the taste of Beckerheads as compared to wildly popular 9..
