I have one. It's my only Becker. I was intrigued by the trailing point design, as I have a few drop points and wanted to try something different.
I think the point is actually very useful and the belly makes for a terrific slicer. I wasn't thrilled with it as boxed, but after stripping the coating (acetone and razor blade), filing down the sharp edges on the jimping, and thinning it out behind the edge (~0.010"), it has become one of my favorites.
There are a few threads about it in the Becker sub-forum right now due to the sale (discontinued?) I picked up another one myself that I will mod and probably gift to my brother.
