Hey Moose!

Now, my fun job is a little more than just kicks. If you know the story of BKT, you will know that this is really the only profitable time in BKT history. At one point, it cost Ethan money, to be in the knife industry. If you know how Ethan was taken advantage of, by people and companies, you will know why I do what I do.

BKT has been around nearly 30yrs, yet some folks have never heard of the knives. I wanted to change that, so, with support from Ethan, and Kabar, it started.

Wow, damn, your a good guy Moose. It's too bad that we couldn't hear some of the stories without a multi megaton lawyer blast. It would be wonderful see read at least a brief bio from Ethan, he does sound quite interesting.

Not really a megaton lawyer blast, but its just bad manners, and makes us look like we are whining about it. Just the opposite. We are taking the high road for not bringing other people's names into it. We would like to keep it that way.

You have to realize, Ethan's only a knifemaker when he wants to be. He tried it, back in Ohio, and realized, its not what alot of people think it is. Its easier and better to find someone to make your product, and stay in as a designer. So, there have been 3 companies making knives for Ethan before Kabar, Effingham(Cincinatti Machine), Blackjack, and Camillus.

That's as far as I'm willing to go, without Ethan's permission, but like I said, this is really the only "profitable" time in BKT history. IMO, that is.

Moose, without a doubt you've been the most instrumental Beckerhead in getting the BKT name out there. You're definitely the 'glue' that keeps this little group together, and along with Ethan, the force that drives the Becker brand name.
 
So, let me get this straight, Moose, if a e-mail you and say "Can you send me a Becker BK-2 ? My address is 999 Nowhere Street, Nowherelandfieldville, USA then you will send me the knife free of charge? Just wonderin'. thanks.

There are knives given away on here all the time. Stick around, earn your Beckerhead number, enjoy the forum and get to know everybody. Start entering the contests and giveaways. You never know, you might just win one.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on the mood. Right now, the answer is no.

that, plus winning a contest would increase your knife winning chances. Though you could probably lose the request and just win a knife. Stick around man, we'd be glad to have ya!
 
Moose, I'm floored to hear that your activities for Becker and KA-BAR are all pro-bono: I had always assumed that you got some sort of stipend. That is dedication that few people would be willing to bring to bear. As a beneficiary of both your success in facilitating the ultra-fun Beckerhead community as well as your generosity with the free knives that KA-BAR sends you, I extend my heartfelt thanks.

It's also really interesting to see little hints as to Ethan Becker's career in knives. I've always wondered how the heck he's managed to make a living based upon the design or co-design of a handful of knives, but regardless it's really nice to hear that at least now it seems to be paying off.

That's no beard. Mr. Dozier emits raw physical manliness from his face.

No idea how I forgot about this thread and missed the real story through the static but it was actually pretty grand to hear the story behind the eye patch. Also I miss the pimp hat.
