Awesome People Around Here...

Sure are some good folks around these parts.

I met 91bravo 91bravo , and his wife MarriedTheMedic MarriedTheMedic on another forum. They were a big part of it, but sometimes unexpected things happen in life, and they are no longer there.

I invited 91 here to the Becker forum, and sent him a new BK4. He likes the Becker knives, and quickly became a Beckerhead. And like all of us, even though we love our Becker blades, we are knife freaks, and like other blades as well.

Anywhos, 91 invited me to a private forum. I stay in contact with he, and his wife, MTM, that owns it. A few weeks ago, she PM's me, and asks me for my address, so she could send me some forum decals. I respectfully declined, as I'm not much of a decal person. She responded that she wanted it anyway, that she had a little something else she wanted to send. I kept teasing her later on, that whatever it was, it wasn't here yet.

Most don't know, but I've been going through a lot here lately, and have been struggling with depression. I opened up about it just yesterday, via PM, to both 91, and MTM. As usual, they were filled with words of encouragement. These 2 are both awesome.

So today, the "little something" showed up. Don't know if he wants me to tell you this or not, but 91 traded his BK21 for this, just to mod it, and gift it to me. Yes, he traded with the evil Tanker 1/66 Tanker 1/66 , who I'm informed, also had a hand in this. What is it?

Hate crappy indoor photos, but it's raining outside.

The box:



Homemade sheath. At this point, I still had no idea what it was, haha:



Damn! BK6 Patrol Machete with sand blasted blade and fasteners, and micarta scales!





And, in case you missed it, he even engraved my BH 81 number in it!



I'm blown away by these people's generosity. Thanks again to 91bravo, MarriedTheMedic, and Tanker 1/66. I appreciate it very much. You guys have been great to me, and it couldn't have shown up at a better time. You know I'm going to take it to the cabin with me in a few weeks. Gonna beat that new car smell off it, haha.
Oh don't you worry about that sheath Brother. Just check your mailbox tomorrow. I might have had a few originals lying around. And believe me. This whole thing is 100% 91bravo 91bravo and MarriedTheMedic MarriedTheMedic . I absolutely Love being a Beckerhead. You and bravo gave me a lot of Shi* when I first got to this forum but you did it with open arms and knowledge and humor. And most important was the willingness to share and accept a newb. I will forever be Grateful and I will Forever be your Brother.
 
Great post Dubz!
That’s a pretty awesome gesture from Bravo and MTTM. Sweet looking 6!
There are indeed some very cool people on this forum.

We can all get to feeling depressed at times. If any of you ever need to vent, cuss, or just need someone to talk to, PM me. I’ll send my # and we can talk. We’re all family and here to help each other.
Thanks man. Trying to figure out who MTTM is, haha. :D Oh, I can cuss up a storm, believe me. ;)

You mailed me a sheath for it??? Thanks!!!! Can't wait to get it man, looking forward to it. Yep, 91 and MTM are something else. Love being a Beckerhead myself, since I first earned the title. I love giving newbs sh*t, haha. Believe me, it was given to me too, especially by Moose. :D Always calling me a kiss ass when I responded in kind to Ethan. Ah, those were the days... :D
 
You need to speak English in your sig...:D
Love the Nordic quote man. I think it looks better than, "A knifeless man is a lifeless man." Tells you how important the knife was to the vikings. The word knife is believed to be from them. Knifr, meaning blade. I'm of viking descent, so, why the hell not roll with it, haha.
