I just received my Becker BK5 in the mail yesterday. I have to say I have a complaint.
I enjoy sharpening knives. There is something about the sound of high carbon steel and diamond dust being stroked together that soothes my soul. Usually when I get a new knife I have the opportunity to spend some time putting a hair shaving edge on it. This knife was so sharp that I was denied this one of life’s simple pleasures. I am sure the fine people at Becker Knife and Tool also enjoy this simple past time as do I. But they probably get to do this several times a day. Kind of selfish of them if you ask me. The least they could do is leave this one simple pleasure for poor knife buyers like myself who only get to do this occasionally. So now I have to take the time to go out and find some way to dull the edge on this knife so I can put the edge back on it.
Thank You Becker knife and Tool;
Sincerely; Poor Me.
Sorry BK5. Wishfull thinking crept into my mind as I was writing this thread. That should cause some confusion.

First off, you have a BK15?? How'd you get it (Contest I missed?) Second off, LOL!!!! :D Sounds like your BK15 is defective, since it was probably a contest you can't return it to Kabar so how's about you email me for my mailing address. I'll Beat the edge dull for you. And if you pay return shipping I'll make sure it comes back to you Dull. ;)

I was trying to put out some subliminal brainwaves there or something!

In all seriousness though, if you managed to have one of these in your hand before us beckerhead riff raff, then I am starting to feel like a second class citizen around here :(.

Also though... if you post up user pics right now, you'd be one of the first out there to do so, and we would be really grateful :D.

And honestly, I like my knives sharp, but maybe thats just me :D.

EDIT: Ahh... you meant BK5... totally different. Either way though, I hear its an excellent blade, and you'll be very happy with it even if were denied the sharpening it right out of the box :).
 
How'd you get a 15? Dude, I want a 15...

Oh, I get it. He is lying to us. If you don't post pics of your 15 to prove it, we shall bring in the rabble.

The rabble has Beckers. And a large collection of snark.
 
Yeah! I am a misterious kind of fellow.

OOOH...

You meant BK-5...

Anywho, i love my BK-5. It will take a lot of abuse, and excels in the kitten.

Yes, I meant to say "Kitten"

Post pics of the 5. Or the same will happen.

I was getting ready to get mad at you. And take you of the 15...

:D

The bk5 is the bestest. Wanna get it even sharper? Watch the Jerry Fisk videos. The designer himself teaches ya how to 'fisk" it. To steal his words, it gets sharper than your mother in laws tongue. Congrats.
 
Ok, I fixed the title for ya, nak.

Second thing, congrats on the BK5, sorry it came sharp as hell, and you don't get to sharpen it.

Yet. :D

Third, go use that thing and dull the edge, because like you, I find bringing a dull knife to a scary sharp edge, a very therapeutic exercise. Specially when its done, and you can push cut toilet paper. Love that.

Finally, welcome to the BK5 club, you're gonna love it. :D

Oh, and just so you guys know and don't lose your stuff, we sold several of the BKT Shorts at SHOT show, so, there are some out there. I think 4 whole sets (12 knives) went out to at the distributor/dealer level at SHOT.

I've got a complaint about both the BK5 and the BK15. Same complaint about both, actually. I don't have one yet!
