Long time lurker, first time posting. Just wanted to share pictures of the current full size Beckers in my collection. Still working on getting a BK21 Reinhart, BK20, BK12, BK77. The next small becker I'll be buying is the BK16. Tons of valuable information here on this forum!




Left to right in the pic:
Camillus BK1 Brute, Kabar BK2 Companion, Kabar BK4 Machax, Kabar BK5 Camp Magnum, Camillus BK6 Patrol Machete (From unfinished old stock), Kabar BK7, Kabar BK 39, Kabar BK29 Moses

Your collection is very impressive. I’m quite envious.

Which one was your gateway? Mine was a 3 I'd bought for my son to deploy with. Then it was a 9. By that time I was at the summit and the breaks let go!!!!

Thanks! Hopefully one day I'll get that honor. The Beckers are just a small part of my blade and tool collection but the most for any one designer. Something about them captured me. The multitude of blade designs really attracted me to them. I think the bk21 will be next as the bk20 has been pretty hard to come by for under $300.
 
Welcome 2zero6 ! Mighty fine set of blades you got there and a great first post :thumbsup:

What's the sheath you've got with the Patrol Machete?

Unfortunately the only way I could find a bk6 was an unfinished factory blank. Still working on the grind and may just convex it with the ken onion worksharp. But back to your question, it never came with a sheath and I couldn't find a factory one so I ordered this one:
Rothco 18" MOLLE Compatible Machete Sheath, Coyote Brown (no deal spotting)

Not anything like my kydex rigs but it actually fits pretty well for what it is. Eventually I will get some kydex done for it. I have a really good kydex buddy that I helped get into the business. If anyone is interested pm me for his info. He is extremely affordable for the quality of his work. Some of his sheaths have been on dropforged survuvals youtube channel

I used the forum search for bk20 but didn't see anything. Do you happen to have a link?

I just searched within the "fixed blades for sale" part of bladeforums and there is one..
Just search for “Becker bk20“

Edit...just saw that you arent a "subscriber" so your searchfu might be restricted.
 
Good of you to post your pics - serious 1095 CroVan eye-candy you've got there.

As they say in these parts, without pics - it never happened!

Just wondering. Has your Patrol been heat treated?
 
Judging by how hard it is to profile I think so. I've been trying to keep it cool as possible by dipping it in water so as not to mess up the heat treat
