I'd take an RBK. In 3V would be wonderful, but really, just releasing it would be great. I've got this Becker money that I've been saving up, fastidiously avoiding buying tempting things like a 15, so I can get one when it comes out.
Even Bear Grylls has a Gerber Hatchet - we cannot be having that!!! I'm sure Uncle could show them how its done properly, just like many of his knives!
I've been looking at small hatchets recently. Would definitely get a Becker were it available!
Just read about that one the other day.You should check out the Estwing hatchet. At around $35 its a steal. carbon steel, full tang, stacked leather grips, leather sheath, and best of all made in the good ole' USA. It'll take a razor edge too. Easy to find online or any box store, blowes, house despot, maybe Wally, got mine at that place that sells craftsman tools.
I'd prefer something with a bit more straight flat edge/blade size and a little more weightier on back, so gives a little more than a BK9 chopping force, but can still be choked up comfortably to have more precision control with its wicked edge for finer tasks. As long as its not a daft too over-sized 'three position' scales I'd be very happy.. 😉Something kinda like this, but with Becker scales.
