Becker you have had the longest?

My first was the BK2 as well, bought in January 2014. Funny fact: I have never used it! Not even to cut paper.

I got a 9, a 16, and a 10 shortly thereafter (followed by many others) and those have been my go-to BKs for the woods.
 
I think it's a Camillus 7. However, I had doubles of all the Camillus models at one point and then sold off the spares.
Not sure if I sold that very first Becker or not. It will remain a mystery.
 
First was a 7, about 3 weeks ago. Then a 9, about 1 week ago. Now that I have them I kind of wish I would have went with a 2 first then a 9, or vice versa. 2 and 9 seems like a better combo than 7 and 9. I like the 7, and would have ended up with one I'm sure, just maybe not first. I guess it just puts a 2 on my wish list along with a 11 and a 16 or 17.

At this pace, you'll have the whole set by June. Good work!

Oh and my first was a 17 in Nov of 13.
 
Machax, chromed, ordered directly from Ethan, 1982 or so?
 
You need to use the 2... don't create jealousy issues..

You sir have the oldest so far, maybe only uncle E has older Beckers. Which makes me wonder... are you in cahoots with uncle E from the start?? You knew each other as kids in the depression didn't you?? Lol just kidding..

Yeah, I'm going to have to slow down the pace though. Once I get something in my head, if the money is in the bank, I'm not very patient. Had I been I probably would have eventually reasoned that a 2 & 9 made more sense. In my own defense, when I got the 7 I picked it because I thought it was probably the most versatile & could do a little bit of everything. I didn't know at that time that I was going to become an addict & need every damn one! Anyway, is there a consensus favorite between 16 & 17? Pros & con's?
 
I'd say most people prefer the 16, but I do love the 17. It's purty. The pro is owning both. The con is having to pick only one.

This should have been mine. I remembered back in the day talking to Ethan on the phone about the Machax.I wanted it bad but I was young & had little money. About the only knife I regret not buying. So my first was a Cam, 11 I remembered waiting for it's release & getting one ASAP.
