The Rowen/Becker/Ritter love child, which I've lovingly dubbed "the bastard," showed up today. Haven't got to play with it to much, but so far, me likey.

Did you get etching? Any pics?

 

[HotRodColt]

Just a quick one I sent to a buddy yesterday. Had to leave last night town for a wedding today so we haven't got to spend much bonding time

 

[Bladite]

is that a scratch?

Not that I haven't seen this blade before, but I have to say that I really love spear points and saber grinds!

I'll add one of my well used 12:

OK....more than one:

That first pic looks awesome stripped with Micarta. Nice Granite.

I have been guilty (more than once) of buying two of a knife I really like - one as a User and the other as a Keeper. So the concept of a User and a Keeper is not foreign to me; but a User and a User?

Good for you!

That's pretty much me Salty, a user and a keeper. Odd considering with BK's you will probably never need more than the one, the sort of blades that may possibly last a lifetime.

Uhh...it's the same knife; the bottom pic was pre-stripping. Only got one....bur if I had two, they'd both be users. I really don't believe in safe queens....though I do have a couple folders that haven't been used.....yet.

Holy crap! Are they snow punji's? Didn't know you got rogue tigers in NH..

bwahahaha! That's the garden fence.....which is funny 'cuz it doesn't keep out anything. And we don't have tigers, but we do have mountain lions. Doubt the punji sticks or the 12 would help me out in a match between myself and a very large, very hungry cat. Luckily, they're seldom seen since NH F&G proclaimed them extinct in the state.....which they aren't actually - but this way the Wildlife Dept. doesn't have to have a plan of action for having an endangered species in residence. Much easier for them to just throw their hands over their eyes and say

Back on the 12 track. The 12 is one of the most photogenic knives I own:

I'm getting the itch, now...

I'm getting the itch, now...

I hear ya, dammit.

You should scratch it. Seriously.

 

[CM_Rick]

You should scratch it. Seriously.

You just won't stop will you...

 

[granitestateofmind]

You just won't stop will you...

Who, me? I'm just posting some photos....it's not like I'm forcing you to look at them.

And this one, right before I electrocuted it and stripped it naked. In some other context that might be considered torture, but this turned it into pure joy. The Rowen steel is really nice underneath the coating.

ooOOps....I did it again....

 

[CM_Rick]

And that factory edge is oh so nice
