Build your own factory Becker?

My factory build would be easy, a BK-2 with a 3/16" full flat grind blade with jimping on the spine and micarta scales. Oh, in 1095 Cro-Van of course !!!!!!!!!!! I'll take four of these, just let me know when I can order them :p !!!!!!

BK9 with a drop point instead of the clip...that would just about do it for me...

The great thing about Beckers is that both these knives are pretty easily doable.....drop point 9? Simple. BK 2 in 3/16's? Camillus made one (iirc; I'll measure mine) and it has a full tang with no cutouts....
Actually, I think my Cam 2 is next for surgery. ....
 
I'd love to see a Machax, 1/4" thick, full convex grind, and no swedge with almost a drop point tip.

Cam BK2's are .21 thick iirc. Although I'm with you though, a ffg 3/16in bk2 would be quite nice. Although that is more or less just a bk10 without a swedge, and ffg.

BK-17 minus an inch of blade, FFG, thumb ramp, on a 11 handle, no scales.

That sounds pretty close to the kabar 1117. Not a perfect match, but it might interest you. BK 17 with a ffg, I'd be interested that though.

make it 3/8ths :>

i've been after Ethan for like decades to make one of those.

also a Nessmuk, also wharncliffe. might as well make one with a scandi too :D

plus any of the other classic shapes he doesn't have now.

i know. Becker Karambit :>

course, a lot of these ideas wouldn't sell, but it would be awesome to have a Boutique program
 
I don't mod my blades - I like them the way they are. However, if I was at the helm, all tweeners and BK-14 with larger handles.

And yes, Bladite, a 3/8" Machax would be awesome.

Yeah, 3/8 would be cool too, but might get too far away from how light the Machax is. I prefer the Machax to the BK2 for a lot of reasons, one of which is that you get a lot more knife (imho) for similar weight.

Now a 3/8 RBK on the other hand.....
 
Full flat grind with a slightly convex edge. Needs to be a drop point 5" blade that is around 1" top to bottom and 1/8" to 3/16 thick. Long and skinny slicer made out of 1095 is what I'm looking for these days.

Kabar MK1?

Just over 5in 5/32in thick FFG drop point blade. Only thing is its not a full tang (its full length, but not width).
 
anything big - say, 10-11" blade, with a recurve and a curved clip, maybe a longer backswept lower guard (not just a nub, maybe 1" long curving back to hold the index in place), curved bowie swedge with a mid saber grind. Kinda like an Aitor Montero?

it's a chopper, not a fighter. mass good.

the original thick version is pretty tasty, gotta say. it's why i use it all the time.
 
I say they make all 3 of them, 3/16, 1/4, and 3/8 so I can hold them all in my hand and decide. I use the machax for more than just chopping....
