Thought I'd share my dinner with y'all!

So im in between houses right now and my wife and I are staying with my sister. I only took a few of my beckers with me and decided to prepare dinner with my bk16.

I started by making a mango and mushroom purée, then cooked some onions and red bell peppers, and finally cooked some chicken to complete the dish.

I was pleased with the way my 16 handled but think my FFG 16 which is in storage would cut vegetables a little better.

I usually use my bk11 and have had no problems cutting fruit or vegetables with it.

I love the way the bk16 feels in my hand and the balance is great.
Such a bad ass little knife!!

Here is the finished plate!
A little rum and ginger ale to wash it all down.

The chicken was so moist and the 16 cut right thru it!

I think the becker made it taste even more amazing!

Maybe I'll try my bk9 out next time!

Enjoy
 
I just have to ask...........what did your sister think of you taking pictures of the dinner, and cutting into your moist chicken with your Becker. All of us here can appreciate your work. But others might find it strange. I guess that's what makes us BeckerHeads what we are.
Great looking dinner. Wish I had been there to belly up to the dinner table.

Thanks! You should try it!
I think they call it cliched around here. Basically I stripped the blade cleaned it real good with alcohol, then put some gun blue on the blade with a q-tip in a pattern I liked. Then I soaked it in bleach for a few minutes till it formed rust spots that I thought were deep enough. I finished by cleaning and sanding of the rust and I might have put it in apple cider vinegar to darken it a little, I can't remember.

Thanks Balding. She actually turned in early cause she wasn't feeling well. But she would probably want to take the pictures for me and she understands my obsession with knives since I've carried one everywhere I go since I was 6 years old. And now especially Beckers, I have sold her on the benefits of owning BKT's. She actually was a little up set when I gave my cousin a Machax a few months ago and she did not get one. Then she saw my BK9 and was like Damn I need one of THOSE! Haha

I actually thought there was something wrong with me for a while when I found myself gong to sleep at night dreaming of my next Becker. Then I found you guy's on this forum and realized Its totally normal to never have enough knives!! Right now I want a Bk5 and Bk15. They will be my next for sure.
