Beckerhead Perks, and questions about them. Well, one specifically.

[DerekH]

Heyoo, over in the gorilla thread, Cobra posted up some copypasta of the original list of stuff that was put forth as perks for the Beckerheads. Here is a copy so you don't have to go thread hopping.

Here's what you can look forward to getting as a Beckerhead:

-You can use your Beckerhead number in your Location or Signature
-12 contests a year for gear and toys
-4 major contests a year for knives. These will be known as Ethan's Challenges and will be 1 for every season
-Take a tour of the Kabar Manufacturing (pending)
-Information on knife shows, and gatherings exclusive to the Beckerheads
-Beckerhead Gear, starting with Patches with your specific Beckerhead Number on it
-Privileges to participate in pass arounds, new product info, and new design beta testing
-More stuff as we go along, somethings aren't final or even thought of yet

Anywhoosles, I had a question about the fourth entry there, the tour of KA-BAR Manufacturing. I was kinda wondering what the possibilities were of making that happen? I assume a good deal of notice would need to be given and whatnot, but was thinking about trying to make a day of a trip to Olean to check out the factory. If that was cool, I was also considering it as a possible trip for my Scout Troop too, but first I would want to check it out with Pointy and whoever else I could drag along. Any idea if this is something that could happen? I am not really sure if this needs directed at the Mods or Toooj or whomever, but wanted to get the question asked.

I've wondered about that as well. I don't live that far from Olean, I'd definitely make the drive up for a tour.

 

[CCMI]

I think they should just mail each of us a numbered key to the factory. That I can just come in after hours and look around, won't disturb a thing.....

 

[DerekH]

Toooj is Samurai, and he doesn't sleep. If you feel like going up against that, you are more than welcome. I myself will refrain, what with my love of life and all.

You mean with your love of lard and beans and all.

Yes, Toooj is a master Samurai, He's got a cool 1095 Naginata and a Katana.

 

[Guyon]

I think this was a specific trip that Moose had bounced around.
I don't know the status or if Ka-Bar would welcome other tour groups.

 

[CamH_16]

Ka-Bar can pay for my plane ticket! Thanks. All I need is a BH number. I dont sleep either so it would be cool to hang out in Olean.

 

[Moosez45]

That was originally a thing I was working on, for the first few months, was a getting a trip together and collecting BH's along the way. I'll see what I can do, to find out a name and a number of someone to talk to about it, if that helps, but unfortunately, they have not granted us unlimited access to the Kabar Shop.

Lemme see waht I can do.

could be fun roadtrip. i'll bring a sack.

It's settled, I'm transferring to your troop before I age out, do you guys have a Venturing Crew attached?

One sack? I'll bring a XXXXXXX-L suitcase.

 

[RogueBowie]

How about those numbered patches too?

 

[Moosez45]

I talked to OKB, we're working on getting you an answer.

Patches are coming. Not numbered, but coming none the less.

Not at the moment, although we are more than open to the idea. Problem is a lot of our boys move off once they turn 18 because this area doesn't hold a lot of options as far as the job market is concerned.
