If we could design the next BK ...

[ISP 5353]

BK7 sized Seax....

 

[Wolf_1989]

BK5 with a 14 inch blade and a longer handle

BK&T Cutlass

My favorite mod I've seen on this forum is the one where this dude converted a BK-7 into an AR15 Bayonet.

That's a thousand kinds of awesome.:thumbup:

 

[Creaky Bones]

A 14 with a longer handle.

 

[trailbum]

My standard answer a 7 inch drop point.

 

[granitestateofmind]

My standard answer a 7 inch drop point.

Uh......it's called a BK12? Or just mod the 7 a bit. You'll get to handle mine in a couple months. I think yer gunna like it.

 

[elrond18]

A drop point BK9..

 

[Chalet]

A knife between the size of the Remora and the BK11, scandi grind, with an 11 style handle and Izula style blade.

This is what I posted in another thread the other day and I'm still hoping this one will be made one day !!!!


"What I would like is a FFG 3/16" BK-2, that would cover a few things of both the ESEE-6 & BK-10:

1. 3/16" thick
2. No choil
3. Great handle
4. No ramp
5. Drop point

I would buy several tonight if they were available !!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dubs, can you do a rendering of a loong BK-5 with a slightly longer handle ?

Haha, really? Why? It would look like it does now basically.

Beckizashi ?

 

[Mrknot]

Beckizashi ?

Now THAT, I would buy in a heartbeat...extend the handle out by another 4" or so...just...awesome...

 

[Ford1911]

thin down the BK2 to 3/16" and stretch the blade out to a full 6". Either leave it uncoated or make that an option.

 

[SALTY]

A 3/16" BK2 would be an excellent addition.

The first test for any "general purpose knife" is, I am not kidding you - will it readily prepare a PB&J sandwich. After that, just about everything is details.

The BK2 is a stalwart of the Becker range and messing with perfection may be frowned upon but there are times where that side blade, with that blade shape in a lighter package could do very nicely.

Question: would it be a Campanion Light or a BK 1.5?

Now, you've got me thinking - what about a 1/4" BK5?

:excitement::welcoming::fat:

 

[Silver Needle]

Beckizashi ?

Beckatana? Beckertana? =)

Edit: Maybe that would have to be more of a 20-30 inch blade...

 

[james terrio]

I'd love to see a Becker that fits Bladesports standard requirements for a competition cutter.

10" blade, 15" overall, no more than 2" wide at any point. Front lanyard hole/tube for safety's sake.

Basically a BK-9, only more of it... with Ethan's handle design and perhaps just a couple degrees of "drop" between the blade and tang.

But a Beckatana wouldn't shiver me timbers.

A standard size handle might work, but I'd need a hand guard for the full arrrrrr effect.

 

[Gassy]

A becker letter opener - seriously. Would be nice to have a Becker everyday use item in the office as well. Obviously not as "the next big design" but somewhere down the road. Just sayin.
