Chill-axin with the Machax-in ! Post your Machax pics & thoughts here.

Package came this morning. WoooHooo. Anticipation. Initial table-top review. I think i am gonna like this one more than i thought i would. Sheath ROCKS !!! I love the weight forward design.

Only appropriate to open a Becker-with a Becker.

The obligatory poor "Warrior" shot

The sheath has a swivel !!! YEAH ! That = all day comfort for me. Also is Molle compatible. It has the standard Becker accessory pouch on the front. Re-sheathing is definitely a 2-handed affair, at least for me. Also realized the swivel is probably because it was needed for the off-set handle design---lucky me. I love swivel sheaths.

That bad boy is lookin' GOOD! I will have to share pictures of mine too when it comes in later! Thanks for the back shot of the sheath too. I did not know it was MOLLE compatible, which is AWESOME!

That is awesome! I should have my 2 show up by end of the day tomorrow.

Is the swedge thin like on the bk 9 or thick like the bk 7?

Sweet. Mine should be here tomorrow as well.

The sheath does look awesome, better than I expected.

I'd say it is in-between the 2. Not as deep as the 10 or the 9, but not as shallow as the 7.

oooh nice! Molle compatible sheath! I'm sure someone will still bitch about it...

I meant thickness, will it chew up a baton easily?

Either way I'm pumped to get mine.

Congrats! Now I will despise you with envy until mine shows! Lol

I didn't get a tracking # because then I would be obsessed with checking for it to come. I figured by Monday.

Thanks for pics of the back of the sheath. Now get moar pics!!!

Unfortunately, you are probably right. Between the Tweeners sheaths & this one, it is my humble opinion, that BK&T is definitely headed in the right direction. But what do i know.

It is thin like the 9 then.

lol there should be a contest to see who gets the first ''stripped & modded Machax'' thread up

 

[MrKnifekid]

Awesome. Can we get some pics of it in the sheath with the retention straps snapped?

Thanks.

Well, that ain't gonna be me. I like the black coating, always have. I'll tell ya what i do like though, is the way my BK10LE came with the "swedge" part of the blade shiny & the full thickness part dark. I like that for sure.

 

[clich]

Oooo I hope mine is waiting for me. Awesome stuff

EDIT : Boy, don't i feel smart! After looking more closely at MY OWN PICTURES---THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE HANDLE WAS CATCHING THE BACK LIP OF THE SHEATH ! IF YOU MAKE SURE THAT DON'T HAPPEN, IT SEATS FULLY IN THE SHEATH WITH NO ISSUES ! Duhhhh-don't i feel smart !!!


I hate to be the first to point this out, but after taking more pics for my fellow BeckerHeads, i found something to be careful of. The sheath does not "fully" contain the blade. It sticks out a little & you probably could cut yourself if you try hard enough. If you were trying to unsnap the bottom snap and were not paying attention, you could nip the end of your finger---again---if you try hard enough. Now that you all know about it, there should be no reason to do so.

Here is the PROPER WAY to sheath the knife ! Dohhh. I guess all the excitement got to me. My apologies.

 

[Skystorm]

I know someone who is getting a super duper special stripped and modded BK4

 

[Skystorm]

Does that really stick out like that????? That doesn't seem right

 

[Zuluninja]

I'm busting out the kydex, tape, cardboard and ruler out as soon as I get mine. Mind you, sheath looks good and I like swivels, but I really do want to test myself.
