Discontinued Becker knives

[GeofS]

yeah - someone else posted a pic of them, said they're actually just a little longer than the extended izula scales and no need to fine tune them to fit right.

That was me and you are correct...

 

[OnceBitten]

I kinda wish the extended area was a bit finished better around the loop I’m going to stick with the short version for now

Hmmm.....youse gots all them mirror-polished Beckers and are willing to let a bit of rough G10 get you down?

, it’s not the rough. It’s the huge lanyard hole I don’t care for yet

 

[GeofS]

Just so you know, that area is still very solid.

The 15 is still leading! Are we 15ers just super loyal to the discontinued model or is there really a BF-centered group that likes the upswept design?

I keep voting for the 12 and the numbers don't change. This thing is RIGGED.

I Love the 5, but the 15 left me feeling Meh...… I Really wanted to like it, got one, and will never really use it much probably. I feel it's too big, and too small at the same time.

maybe if it were round, or Not even there..... I like my handles simple, and boring.

I just noticed a couple of 12’s sitting in the exchange.

Nope, just one. The other one is headed to my house

and.......the "other" other one is coming to mine. YAY me!

Congrats I waited too long and just missed out but that’s ok I have way too many Beckers as is.

Im glad someone grabbed the other. I wasnt sure how much longer i could hold out.

Bk4, if you can't do it with the 4...you can't do it.

My 15 is in my preferred edc fixed blade rotation. (Sykco 511, sykco ds6, a couple custom blades in the 4.5-6" range).

The weight, blade length and design really lend themselves to being a damn good slicer that doesn't pull my belt down.

I also like the 5, but it's long/big enough that I tend to just leave it in my garage or bring it camping for food prep. For as big as it is, the weight is low which is nice. But damn it's long. The 15 gets me a more useful knife for typical tasks.

Oh my ... I carried a Barlow for years! Never thought I'd need any other EDC knife. (silly me )
