If you had 1000 bucks to burn on Beckers....

Here's the perfect answer. If you got a grand you wanna blow on Beckers. And you already have some of the finest examples. Here's what you do. I don't care where in the states you live. 1 grand will more than pay for you to go to one of Ethans gatherings. You go there. You learn more than you ever thought. You meet the man himself. You eat good. You drink better. You leave with lifetime friends, experience nature in its finest form and all around have a time and experience that will last you a lifetime. All for much less that 1 grand. Oh and while your there. All of his line of knives are available. From his had to yours. None of that stuff can be beat for less than 1 grand.

I will be at BeckerWest 2013, so if Ethan is able to attend then I will do this, for sure. Awesome idea!
 
I was going to reply similarly, but more on the "I'd buy them all and with the change try to score some 77s"

I'd buy them all. Then, take the other$700 thats left over, and buy some to give away here.
I like giving away knives.

I would seek out a Brute, just to have it. Then a BK10LE. A BK24 would follow, and a 5. Then, micarta, custom leather and custom kydex. and a becker bag both old and new.
 
Well if I had that much I'd probably get a second BK2 and 9 (maybe even a third), a BK4, 7, a couple 10's when they come out, a few 16's and custom kydex for all of them and use the rest to take a weekend survival course or something like that. Probably spring for the entire Ka-Bar Heavy line and a JAB potbelly too.

As much as I would love to have a Reidhart kukri and a BK6 I wouldn't have the balls to use them. Maybe instead I'd have some custom becker-inspired blades made up.
 
Hmmm...aside from using it to get me to the gathering and picking up a cooler full on Benton's on the way...

Blackjack BK5 would top the list. Then an RBK, FFG BK16, BK3 x2 (one for each vehicle), and I'd spend the rest on whatever tweeners and BK14's I could to give as gifts. The Beckers I've given away have been loved, so why not give some more away?
 
i'll play.... an RBK, BK10 (new and old), Warrior machax recently in the exchange, Skystorm 9 sheath, and a nice pack.
 
Brute from each era, Kukri from each era, BK 2 ....from each era, and BK 9 from each era.


I like the looks and hand made touches from the early ones!
