Kevin the grey said:I just received a Becker necker in a trade that fell through . The gentleman involved in the trade showed real class and the knife reflects this .
While it is still evidently a lower priced knife it has potential . I am going to do some batonning with it , some fire striking and otherwise put it through its paces . The only issue with it is a double stepped wire breaking notch in the pommel . As the handle is the tang this notch would be uncomfortable if your palm were to come into contact with it . I thought of grinding the notch down . I have small hands and the handle just fits my hand . Taking off even 3/16ths is not an option . If you have large hands the handle may become an issue . When I have batonned a few lengths of wood into kindling I will post in the Cantina .
i look forward to your post. the necker is a fav because of its convex edge - making it a khukri cousin in some ways. after a decent paracord wrap, i with large hands find it okay. enough of that for now. cantina later.
