So after discovering Beckers a month ago I now have 6 of them (2, 4, 5, 9, 14, 15). It kinda came out of nowhere, one day I had money, the next day I had a becker in the mail, and for the next 3 weeks I had at least 1 becker in the mail at any given time.

Sure, it's one thing for me to get addicted to buying Beckers, but by taking them to my fencing class to show them off as I received them, I ended up selling my BK11 to one friend, the second BK15 I had bought to a second friend, and then had a 3rd friend offer to take the BK4 off my my hands if I ever decided to not keep it. I don't get it, these aren't even very knife-ey friends, yet as soon as they held these Beckers they immediately wanted one. It's very worrisome, I now realize I need to make sure to limit my Becker interactions to people I know can afford to get addicted to them.

tl;dr Holding a Becker means you want a Becker, it's a scientific fact.

Family photos later tonight.
 
Things get weird quickly.

Oh...

Oh my...

That's quite the family you got there, I hope I can beat the virus before I get that far, I can't afford to own that many. :o

edit: that little sickle-shaped piece near the center, is it a skin-scraper like they used in old greece/rome for cleaning with oil?

I'll try scraping some skin with it and let you know. Any volunteers?

weird thing, like 1/3 of those are now in my trunk :D

virus spreads ;)

i've had it since the early 80s

apply hot sauce
 
I promised a family photo, even if guyon had me beat before I even had a chance. My BK9 is waiting on a 710 wardrobe.



@guyon (whose name autocorrects to 'futon' in my phone) I thought I knew all the Becker variants, but that one is certainly nothing I've seen before. I thought the BK8 was a failed prototype similar to a BK2 but more survival-ly meant for pilots.

id love to have 1 of each lol though i only know of 1 of each - not sure how many of the first one were made (sounds like 5-7 of the other were made) I doubt ill ever come across one - though that would be an amazing dollar bin find at a gun show!!!
 
Also, the skin scraper I was thinking about when I made that comment :p :
