My first was a bk 11. Got it a year and a half ago. Striped it tried a bunch of patinas gave it gimping then gave it a very dramatic clip point. Lost it in moving 4 or so months ago. Still have not unpacked completely (long story) hope I find it. I put it In a box with a lot of my other stuff but can't seem to find it, not even the pouch thing it was in.

My first was a BK2, though I had some Ka-Bars before that. I really got into Beckers last fall, especially after finding this forum.
Well, My first Becker, was a Blackjack bk2...That I found at a Flea market!!! Haha, you have no idea the excitement I experienced
I saw it with all its used, beaten up, leather sheathed glory, and asked the guy selling it if it was a camillus, cause it looked wayyy different. And it didnt have any stamps, It just had the becker stamp. He had no idea of course, it was his buddies old "ranch knife" or somethin. But it had someone take a bench grinder with a real low grit to the edge and really messed it up:/ But I gave him twenty bucks, and was pretty happy! The handles on it in the picture are the first handles I ever made, so dont give me crap. ;D
It was pretty ruffed up, and I had no idea the want for it. I thought it was a beat up camillus, and I found out how common the camillus versions were, so I gave it to a friend. What. a. mistake. I felt pretty stupid after I did some research. Im not too worry about the knife, cause it was in bad condition. But the leather sheath! D;
Haha, anyway.. My second was a bk14! this little guy! I clipped it myself
Then, I got this one. And it instantly became my baby. I dont know why, but I just fell in love with this bk2. And it has been my go to since!
