Fixed blades

The 2s were tanto if I am not mistaken, up until my p&l I never really cared for tantos. Id had them many times in the past and would usually round the second point into a belly. The more traditional Japanese tantos already have a belly, which I like. I suppose I should have said I never cared for American tantos.

I keep wishing they did a custom/fancy version.....before I'm forced to buy a few and rehandle them proper like

Hmmm, nothing I can particularly think of at the moment. I’m going to be receiving a Gossman Polaris in S7 in a few days so that’s going to get some belt time. The DEK2 will be sitting for while as the Polaris will see some work duty.

I’m a catch and release type. if I don’t connect with the knife, I usually sell or trade evenly or at a slight loss. I’ve used my CPK, Beckers, Tops, Bussekin, etc quite hard. Most handles agree with me, but Ethan Becker’s is still the gold standard.

More than a decade ago the knife that brought me here was a becker bk2, the old stamped one. Still have it. I went through a becker stage. Then in 2013 I got my first busse and went on a busse kick. Owning a almost 70 acre farm I got to put all the knives to real use, chopping the legs off a frozen deer? Check. Skin a 600lb hog? Check. Stab a deer in the neck who had been hit by a car in city limits? Check.

Many knives have come and gone. I'll sell at a loss too, I either use em or lose em for the most part. With the exception of matts knife he made me and knives that were gifted to me. I keep them forever.

I got my first Becker, a BK39 in 2015. It was a favorite, and to this day the King (BK9) is still in my top 5 all time fixed blades. The first hard use blade I’ve ever owned was a Tops/Buck 650 Nighthawk bought for me by my father in 1996/7 when I was 11. I still have the Nighthawk.View attachment 2420754

Love the feel of dek2 but she's girthy. Made a brisket yesterday and it was not my first choice for trimming it.
