hey guys, looks like we have children here, so tone your posts down.

you can't say "pee", gotta use "wee wee" or "urine"

and nothing gross. no bodily functions. no blood. no hunting stuff. no references to "adult fun times".

absolutely no snark. might upset tender minds, or people at work.

carry on ;)

though i think some of these kids logged on illegally, underaged originally, mmm, should look into that ;)

Does this mean that WW can't post pics showing his face anymore? :D
 
Absolutely, have fun, we're in the snark. Though if I recall correctly, I agreed to not use strong language when posting in the "general" areas when I joined.

Now don't act so offended, you crotchety old coot. ;)

Kind of makes the thread pointless.
 
holy shit or crap work just fine

imho, anglo saxon or latin works just as well either way
 
Nice work, Dres & Copp!
Betcha won't wanna eat meat for a week after all the packing's done, but it's a reasonable price to pay.

@CB: think I've heard that about 3 times on this thread already... get away from the keyboard, eh? I'll be away for a week, during which I hope the shop heat gets fixed. The next batch to get heated should be a pair of A2 blades. Seriously, though, you guys are a huge part of my inspiration.

Speaking of organized, I was updating the private map of where my (daizee) knives have gone (not counting my own), and as of this week there will be FIVE in the great state of Texas! The closest rival would have been NYC, but two of them moved south. Actually... that means Virginia is in the running now.

Hey, I have 3! I dunno if anyone else in Missouri has any, but you're making me kind of jealous of Texas!

THIS! Just wait till next year! I just ordered a Valentine1, and picked up a RBK, and got a Bark River Golok, and got 5 BK-11s as gifts, and got a blade from AIG, along with $2,500 worth of dental work in the process of being done!

I vote 21+ Gotta be legal, and drinking to snark with the big boys!
 
Oh, and on the whole topic of how much we've spent on knives. I remember when I used to balk at spending $50 on a Kershaw Leek. Then I remember the first time I spent $100 ZT blem. Then I remember the first time I spent $150, then $200, then $300, then $400, I remember the first time I walked out of GPKnives after hitting quadruple digits, and I remember being at Blade and blowing through WAYYYYYYY too much in 3 days, and coming home with a second checked in suitcase that I had to buy in Atlanta.

As someone that has gotten past that age I would advise stopping there. Being an adult is kinda lame.

Before you start laying down mandates or quoting rules, please keep in mind that there wouldn't be a Becker subforum without Bladite. He was collecting Beckers and posting about Beckers back in the days of General and Camillus. He put legs under the subforum you now enjoy. Ethan personally trusted him with the care and growth of this community, and he devotes his time and energy to maintaining the community without pay or much in the way of thanks. While your dissatisfaction is duly noted, you do not get to lay down the boundaries for the entire community or define this particular context by yourself.

Also please keep in mind that manufacturers subforums--especially the better moderated ones like Becker--tend to be left almost entirely to the direction of subforum moderators. Does this practice mean that you cannot voice concerns about moderators? No, it does not. I'm not saying that moderators are beyond reproach. But with a nod of respect toward the work they do, I'd prefer objections or issues with Becker or Ka-Bar moderators be addressed locally and perhaps even privately at first. I actually tend to work in this fashion in Becker and Ka-Bar because of the strong communities in both; a lot of the moderation I do in these two subforums goes on behind the scenes in emails or PMs.

We're all thoughtful human beings, and if there are legitimate issues with content, we can and should discuss them like adults and work them out among ourselves. I know that I have, at times, posted things that I later regretted and even edited or removed. However, if you want to screw up the party for everybody, keep reporting moderator posts and putting such Becker matters in front of the more general staff. Please note that we don't have to have a Snark thread. I started the Off Topic chat thread in Becker. I can make it go away.

"Like"!!!! Haha that's awesome and probably how we all get going eventually.
 
I've paid big amounts for Sebenzas and Busses and customs. Beckers have given me just as much, if not more, pleasure though.
