How do you handle it?

... the anticipation, the sleepless nights, the continual glances at the front door... the waiting. I'm really excited about my bk9, too excited, but i'm not sure how much longer I can handle the waiting. How do you guys cope with the interim before the arrival?

Play with the rest of my BK's til it gets here.

Simple. I already own multiple Beckers.

BK-5
Patrol Machete
BK-7
BK-9
BK-11

Once you've acquired at least three of 'em, the waiting isn't so bad. You'll still want more though.

The first bk wait is the hardest.

I'm waiting for your 9 too . Apparently tomars was out of micarta (which i ordered for myself) when I ordered your nine and psy's 5. Should be at my door mid week and off to you

I'm waiting for the BK-15 mini magnum camp, but until then I have to make do with the 18th century version made by Jeff White.

Simple. I look at websites trying to decide which Becker I will buy next.

Right now I'm waiting on a BK-11 to arrive, eyeing a 13 and eagerly anticipating news from SHOT on the Tweeners.

First one was easy, I didn't really know much about them at that time so waiting a few days was not a big deal. It's all the ones after that where the waiting sucks.

Wolf, that is a sweet tomahawk. Who made it? I agree that waiting for my first becker was easy. This, my second, is eating me up inside. Thanks for the update Clich. I'm not sure if knowing the status makes it better or worse.

That's a Ft Turner "Buck Hawk" which won me over as my favorite out of numerous tomahawks in my collection. Dana Turner made the head (forge laminated 1020 around a 1095 center) and I made the handle. It's tough, agile, quick, and very sharp.
