Nice! Soley from reading the forums (longer story that I've ranted enough about), I've heard the Tek Lok is a simple way to mod the sheath so it doesn't flap. The large one is the way to go, and it can be worn vertical or scout. When I eventually get one (the gf says not to consider replacing the one that was stolen until after Santa's left town, which is weird because I'm a Jew ;) I'm also going to add cable clamps for firesteel loops, though when I had my sheath and was looking at the spacing it appeared that I was going to need a longer firesteel than the simple Light my Fire one I already had.

Anyway, post up some pics!
 
Well it's official. I LOVE this knife!!!!!!

I'm working on my entry for the batoning contest right now. Let's just say that I have abused this knife. Seriously, I have been using this thing like I've been trying to break it. I don't want to spoil my entry in the batoning contest but I've got to show off the wear that I've put this thing through in just 2 days!!!!!

Btw the knife still slices through paper like its nothing. I can't believe it. For those of you that said this won't be last last Becker, you are absolutely correct. I'll be picking up a few more shortly.


Ok now to the pics!

Congrats on getting the bk2! Just be forewarned that it'll end up asking for new grips and then for siblings.
 
Dirtymutt,

Way to show that Becker some "love"..:D

My first Becker was a BK2 as well. I had owned some pretty hefty knives before that, but when I handled the BK2 for the first time, I thought -" D@#n ,this thing is heavy for it's size ! ":eek:

But, I noticed after a few days of handling / using it, the knife felt a lot lighter. Muscle memory and all that ,I guess- I simply got use to it.

Now, after using Beckers ,most of my other knives seem rather insufficient in the mass dept..;)
 
Just ordered a BK2 myself, I can't wait to put it to some good ole Becker style use around the yard:thumbup:
 
a little update!

here is what i built for the batoning contest. things got crazy and i wasnt able to enter the contest. Oh well! it was a blast building this for sure.

Right after these pics were taken i spent 3 days camping in big sur, i used the BK2 EXTENSIVELY. it did it all from splitting wood for the campfire to cutting food for cooking. it was awesome!

enjoy some pics of my log cabin!

i cant believe how sick this thing looks! i really like it a lot!

Let me know what you guys think!!!
 
Congrats on your BK2. It's fast become my hands-down favorite and is my EDC. My only alteration has been to the sheath belt-loop. I took it to a leather shop and had him stitch the belt-loop with a "high" and a "low" carry position for my 1.75" pants belt for everyday use. Now the fit is snug against my side and it rides high and close to my side, no flopping around at all. I gave him $5 for the work and I'm very pleased with the sheath now. That absurdly large belt loop was my only complaint.
 
as the many usually say "send it to be for disposal" :)

great job
 
What do I think?

I think it looks badass. And its nice to see someone who beats the crap outta their BKT.

Man, I tell you what, pound for pound, BKT owners use their blades. Not to say, that other blades don't get used, but BKT's were bred for it, with a pedigree in whoopassology (real word, look it up).

Nice knife, and one helluva Campanion, for sure.

Very nice. Of all the wood scales I've seen for Beckers, those might be my favorite.
 
thanks for all the compliments guys!

My buddy made me the scales. He owns a surfboard company up in santa cruz and can make just about anything. I am super stoked on this thing!


I am really looking forward to taking it out this weekend and abusing it, should be lots of fun!
