Originally retailing for about $36, this ($100) seems to be the asking (and sometimes getting) price for these nowdays. If you are dead set on getting the Camillus Becker Necker, and need it now, then jump. If you can wait a few months, the Ka-Bar Becker Necker may be available and the Camillus Becker Necker prices may go back to reasonable. Or you may decide that you like the Ka-Bar produced Becker better. In the end, the decision is yours!

Hey Guys..

redneck...

Yaa pretty steep if you ask me..
I wouldn't spend that much on that knife...

I'd say hang tight and see if KaBar makes one....

Is it new or used? I've been tempted to put my BK11 up on e-pray, but like it too much to settle for a 'user' price.
 
I think I'm going to wait until they come out with more before I buy one these.
 
redneck what is the total cost with the shipping?.$99 is like £45 i originally got mine a few years back for £31 .We always pay more than the u.s prices anyway codger64 quoted u.s original price of $36 like £18-19. I would say it depends on total price and if nib, hardly used or used/abused.
 
Dang. Thats a lot to ask for it IMO.
 
I'd buy at RAT-3 at that price and get a better handle in the deal. The collector value has risen because Camillus went out of business. It was just announced that KaBar is going to start making Becker's designs. I would guess that there will be traffic in the "originals" vs the Kabar versions. There's tools and then there's knife collecting-- same merchandise, different ends. Supply and demand rules.
 
I would hold off. Way too much money for that knife. Also, I think if KaBar does start producing the Necker, it will be a better product. Just my opinion, of course.

Too much. Hold off to see if Ka-Bar offers one. I just hope they do away with the Bottle opener thing, but thats Mr. Beckers baby so it's up to him.
 
Cant you just get a rat 3 and take the handle off.. For less and maybe even a better knife too...

I'll go along with that. I like the TH much better than the BN. Although ... if the BN didn't have that bottle opener cutout it wouldn't be a bad knife at all.
 
Ey up me duck, it might be worth checkin out the smaller offerings from TOPS knives as well !!!!

Sorry about the bad Yorkshire phrase !!!:D
 
Hey Everybody

I can say that the Necker will be one of the first Beckers available from Ka-Bar....It WILL have the bottle opener,wire breaker thingy....Really Dingobaby it detracts only from the looks and can help cure THIRST....

All Best ...
