Hoping posting the URL is OK in this instance.
Was looking for Ethan Becker/Rienhart Kukri on Amazon and found this, BECKER MACHETE
claims to be a custom hand made blade based on Ethan Beckers design. Anyone know anything about this? Is it a real Becker product licensed by Becker Knife & Toll or Ethan? If its not a properly licensed & authorized product that Ethan Becker is being paid his fair share for, its just plain wrong.

In case the link does not work for you you can copy and past the below

according to the ad copy, they worked with Ethan Becker who designed the blade based on his paramilitary & survival training. (I thought everyone knew E is a ninja)
it uses his signature handles made from rosewood with slight differences due to the nature of handmade... (the person who wrote this could author ad copy for politicians during an election year)
rust free blade made from 5160 car leaf springs
and a classic Bowie style design. (it's a bolo-ish shaped thing)

4 pitches, missed the plate each time -- walk away......
 
Part of me is vastly amused and somewhat flattered that my name is being used to sell weird iterations of my stuff by the people who invented the concept..... When it was just one....meh.... A whole bunch well, I suspect, Olean will want to know and it will be on the docket tomorrow......

BTW..... Let there be no doubt that the ad copy strongly overstates my accomplishments..... Flattering but.... See Vik’s Post above...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention....

All best....e

Vik...I thought I told you I am only a ninja on every third Thursday of alternate months between 1 am and 1:15 am except when sleeping and the very thought of ninjaing makes me very sleepy.....

When was Ethan Becker in Nepal? Training ninjas while pretending to be “camping?” Lol. But that ad copy was screaming out for trouble, really one of the most brazen attempts, and I hope Jeff Bezos et al at least buys him a thousand acres for this transgression at Big River.
 
Over 200 years old and still looking middle aged? Now everyone is going to be after him for the actual location of the fountain of youth.

Click to expand...

Quoted for Posterity -- E admitted to "sleep-ninjaing"
 
I have to admit to having been inducted into the very prestigious and highly secret “Society of the Mail Order Ninja” by Gary Fadden some years ago.... Exposing the very existence of this Highly secret group may cause me to be expelled or perhaps assassinated or, even worse, flogged with wet rice noodles before bedtime..... e
 
I knew it! Ethan Becker has been a Ninjanin!

I hope he only been a Ninjinn those that deserved a Ninjin'n!

So that's why the BK 4 was discontinued a super uber BK 4 is on the say to cover the kukri set! *happily forgets about the BK21 temporarily*
