LOL, light-hearted but great thread! It's funny about the booby jokes... The first thing I thought to myself after seeing the 2nd shot with Lulu cutting the lime is that this was an attempt at some covert booby pictures!

Yah think? Yeah, well even fat old men like to have some fun. Lulu was good natured about the whole "knife review". :D
 
Of all the things anyone could have said to HD, telling him he looks like Ethan is the lowest.

Not really. I'm just a guy who does convex grinds on my back porch. Ethan is a legend! I love Becker knives. :D

Hell, I didn't even think they were covert :D

Won't make it more comfortable than the Izula, Eskabar, nor (I imagine) the Izula II...I don't have one yet...but the BK-11 is definitely more comfortable with the micarta scales.
 
After posting all those pictures last night, I realized that my HEST was missing from its sheath. I had been carrying it on my belt. I looked all around my Jeep and where I had walked. Apparently, I had slashed the paracord and not actually put it in the sheath. I think Lulu may have distracted me, and there was alcohol involved. So I drove back into town at 11:30 to look for it. The parking lot at the bar was full, as the late night karaoke crowd was there. So I was wandering around in the dark with a flashlight looking under cars near where I had parked. No luck. I went into the crowded bar and was shining my flashlight on the floor around where I had been sitting. Cora, a friend of mine there said, "I got it. It has to be one of yours. It's razor sharp." She found it near the front door. She had given it to the owner for safe keeping. I thanked her and returned it to its now cordless sheath. When I got back home I installed the molle clips and put it back on my water bottle carrier where it belongs. I will never lose it in a bar again. No way am I drinking water in a bar. This is the kind of real world testing I provide as a public service.

That's hilarious. I carried one of my HESTs using the cord lock for a while but I much prefer it with the boot/belt clip from an older RC-3 on it. I fell in love with the clip when I got the 3MIL, Caine sent me another one he didn't use, and now I have a HEST and my 3MIL both set up the same way. Secure on the belt the way I wear it (inside belt) yet quick on an off for relocation when necessary at the same time.
 
HD, you do indeed provide a great service for the real world users of this bullshit industry! Thank you sir.

After much testing, I have concluded that for urban carry, you can't beat a good folder. Fixed blades are best for outdoor or kitchen use.
 
way awesome thread. :D willing barmaid plus knives = mucho fun.

I usually carry my Swamp Rat by Blade-Tech, but I carried CS Voyagers for years. Spydercos, Benchmades, Bucks. Find one you like at a price you can afford. They all cut.
 
i carry my hest fixed daily but i just keep it in my pocket. i dont trust wearing it on a belt. i can not afford another one so i keep it where it can not just fall out or get mis-placed.

She liked the bottle opener feature on the Becker Necker, but found the handle to be less comfortable than the Izula II.

This contest was rigged.
Adding the micarta scales to the Becker would have put it on more even ground with the ESEE.
At least have the decency to cord wrap the damn thing! :p

Glad you found it. Thanks for your brutal honesty and willingness to go where others won't.

This should be posted in a 1 answer FAQ in the general subforum.


Smart words.
 
Yes, I agree, the contest was rigged but just because we offered HD a dollar to trash talk Ethan doesn't mean he's not a good man!

Nice try, Guyon. These knives were tested as sold by a professional bar tender under strict scientific controls and protocols. :D
