Are your Beckers Crack or Methadone?

I appreciated the many warnings about the impending collapse of my wallet but found it a little amusing. My main addiction has been Spydercos. I still have 60 or so and just sold off six in the last week for $1000. So now that I'm easing off the junk, playing with Beckers should hopefully stave off the shakes.

So with all that money rolling in from my declining Spyderco collection I should be rolling in cash. . .

No, I have another shameful secret. I'm putting together a knife making/modding shop. As fast as the money comes in it goes out for tooling and materials.
 
At this point my beckers are Crack, but being newish to the game that may change. Good luck with the shop- and congrats on having the wherewithall to trim down & make it happen
 
My Beckers are good Kentucky whiskey. Technically should be TN whiskey, but I always choose Jim over Jack ;)

My beckers are crack...the crack that shows from the low riding jean shorts just below the lower back tattoo on the 20 something's home for spring break. Gawd I love spring
 
You are in the right place. There are only so many Beckers, as opposed to millionsb of spydercos, and t.hey're cheap. Looks like you could easily buy them all. The addiction is customizing and tweaking them.

Yep, I've already decided that the BK2 needs to be stripped, have a fuller milled and be rehandled in olivewood or cocobolo.

One big reason I decided to jump into Beckers is that the community here helps to make modding them fun.
 
Mine is the Spice. When I use them, I can see across space and time. What I see myself doing usually involves cutting stuff or setting fires, and often nudity. Not necessarily in that order.
 
hmmmm. lots of Spydies huh....u happen to have a side by side pic of a Military and a ParaMilitary? Been looking at those 2 in silver/camo. I dont have a ''tactical'' folder to my name...just use Traditionals. Wanna remedy that gap LOL

I have a bunch of Militaries but am out of Para2's until my pre-order KW dark green 204P Para2's come in this summer. I might pick one up at OKCA in April. If so I'll take a pic. My hands were too big for the original Paramilitary but the Para2 is just right and the 3.5" blade hits my EDC sweet spot.
