Damn necro thread got me excited for a new knife.

Sorry to get your hopes up. But a positive message is they are still out there to pickup once in awhile.

So here’s the one that I had gotten last week or so.

Thank you very much. I was thrilled to find it and that was before I need it was etched signature.

 

[Bkg]

Was this blade with the signature originally bare or coated with the black epoxy?

Coated. Previous owner stripped it

 

[Bkg]

Thank you for help.

Congrats! I like buying used knives. Less inclined to baby them.

I am so glad you are enjoying this blade. Great that it went to a good home. I used it when I had it. Nothing hard core. Take reasonable care of it, use it, and it'll last your lifetime and then some.

Thanks, is this Nat? I’m enjoying it greatly. I had bought my first BK16 and then I was just looking around on the Becker FB page and liked this one even more. I have now used this one and my new ffg brand new has been sitting in the box.

Warrior, thank you for the pictures of what the knife looked new. Yours looks great as well.

Well that’s certainly is interesting .

 

[axesbold]

I never saw a non etched one on the market. They must have been a very small distribution. Anybody know the partics on those?

 

[1066vik]

I got mine direct from E.

Some got released to sellers, then the person buying a 16 got lucky, usually unbeknownst to them. They thought they were getting a ffg, only to luck out on a saber.
