Latest Becker(s) that you got ! Show your pics

My kabar bk 15. I used it to process two deer within the first week of getting it. The pouch is perfect size for holding my Smith's all in one field sharpner.

I was a little worried it might be to big of a blade, but the tailing point is great for getting in tight places. It's got plenty of backbone to go up the chest cavity and smaller bone. The 55 dollar price point makes it a real steal imo. It has very nice balance in my hand, with great grip in wet conditions. Surprisingly it cleaned very easy and nothing got jammed in the scales.

I believe the 15 has just the right size and shape to do that kind of tasks more than good , I've been planning to get me one too ,there was a small sale at Kabars but I missed it , now seems that have to wait a little bit til the guys start selling theirs[emoji38] (since I want really bad one of the stamped )hope I get lucky enough.BTW nice pics Sir !!!

Finally got this! My first BK7!
Camillus made, gotta say that now I get the appeal. Never considered this model since I have a 12, but they really are quite different. Maybe it's the micarta scales on the 12 that makes it seem heavier or just the balance. This 7 feels very nimble compared to the 12. After holding both in each hand and swapping them back and forth, they really seem to weigh about the same.
I dunno, maybe just because it's new is why I'm gushing over it. Haven't gotten to work it yet so these are just initial impressions.

It seems smaller than I had imagined. I thought it would be more or less a shorter clipped 9 but its slightly smaller, approx 1/4", from spine to edge.
Thought I'd read somewhere that it was thicker than the Ka-Bar, its exactly the same.



The edge was meh and the coating was pretty marred so I took some 80, 120, and 4/0 steel wool to it. Looks pretty awesome now and is smooth.
The edge...I'm working on it. The factory edge was a bit uneven and somewhere around 25° per...I'm taking it down to what my Smiths calls 20°.

They can still be found for ~$50. I didn't have to look too hard.
And I could be wrong (probably) but I think the 15 is a recent (<8 year old) design, and as such they were always laser etched. At least I think so, couldn't find any stamped versions in an image search...
 
Roll stamped BK15



This was my last purchase before the 7 arrived yesterday so it still counts for the original intent of the thread!

I actually don't buy Beckers anymore. Moose is running a pyramid investment scheme, and he sends me free knives so I won't rat him out.
 
You're doing a fantastic job keeping it under wraps... Keep up the good work!

I've worked my way up to mid level...
I'm only in it 6k!
Yup, that's it...he says any day now I should be getting my first 10k and a FREE!!! YES FREE REMORA!!!
I'm so excited! Can't wait! Could be tomorrow he says! Soon, any day!!!
Whoop whoop!

Nice!!! &#128512;
Yeah, I've only been into Beckers for a couple years now, and I only give myself a C- in Becker history.
Is there (in your opinion) any advantage to using/carrying a roll-stamped model over the laser etched ones besides collectability/coolness factor?

Thanks Kentwood33
Was about to order the BK21 with Micarta and the 710 Sheath as Looking for a user, as the Sterile being #1 had second thought's on using, saw bill's on the exchange and turns out a few bucks cheaper than the BK21 setup and have not seen a Reinhart Kukri so went with that hoping to use but that one as it turns out still has factory edge also, so the wait continues, Soon not soon enough but soon I will have my User Reinhart Becker Kukri

KEEP EM SHARP
