I first bought a BK2 on the advice of a friend to handle some yard word and field tasks. Next thing I ordered was a BK7 and BK9. All are excellent knives and whoever I let use them loves not only the price, but the quality as well. Finally I had to get a BK4 and a BK24. Knives addictive? Pfft no way. What? I don't have a problem! I can quit whenever I want!

...Today I await the arrival of a BK5 and BK11. To kill some time I started reading the older threads of this forum. I recently learned about other Becker models no longer available. I was sad to find out I couldn't get a Brute anymore. To ease the pain, I think I might need to order some tweeners.
 
Nice knife! I really need to get a 5, I love my 15 so I can imagine the 5 is even more awesome. I bet it would work wonders when I'm out back grilling.

I have been doing the same thing. Reading those old posts and seeing the different models could make you crazy with lust. I was drooling over the Brute myself...

Thanks. And she would definitely work great helping out grilling,...a mammoth!
 
Keep your eyes on the exchange and ebay and I am sure you sill find yourself a Brute at some point.
 
They are addictive. It's awesome to find such a great design at a great price. When I first found them, I was buying like crazy. The fun then came when I started really using them and figuring out what a liked and what I used the most. I cut back to "essentials", but I think I'm back to owning too many again. They keep finding their way in!

I had that same thought the first time I got my hands on my BK2 years ago. And I continue to have that thought with each new model I get. I am constantly amazed at how much knife you get for the price.
 
Within less than a month of getting my Eskabar I ordered 2 more Beckers, a 2, and an 11.
There is definitely a tendency for Beckers to "multiply" in your knife collection.
I look at my knives as tools, and Beckers are effective, quality tools. And every man "needs" good tools.
This is how I justify my purchases to my wife, unfortunately she doesn't buy my excuse.
She thinks I have a problem.:rolleyes:
 
I haven't noticed that they were addicting.... I can quit anytime I want, I just don't want to..... (11, 9, 5, 16, 15, 24, 12), haha
