I went camping with friends and family up in the Catskills last weekend and my BK2 paired with a BK13 (obviously, I'm Captain OCD) in a Combat Master sheath has gone MIA, it is a sad, sad day in the Arkanian household. The weather was gorgeous, the foliage was beautiful, the fire was roaring (not like Moose's fires or fever, but close) and good times were had by all. My BK2 had eaten several bundles of firewood and decided to retire for the evening with the cooking tools/utensils as it was clearly looking for an easy date. I woke up in the morning to get the fire going and needed a few more pieces of kindling when the panic struck... mine BK2 hath gone missing :( I'd like to say it was misplaced or something but the reality is someone must have taken it. I hope they catch some terrible malady found only in the nether regions of a Flexxx sheath and the next time they use it, their arm rots and the BK2 impales their foot to the ground, to be released only when a Beckerhead grasps the handle.

The last camping trip we went on, my wife had (ab)used my BK2 to the point she actually rolled and chipped the blade severely - so much so I had to grind off all the damaged areas and put a new edge on it. When I held the knife up, it looked like it was a serrated blade... that's how much damage it sustained, but I had that sucker ready to roll Upstate.

Anyhow, although it is a sad, sad day... it gives me an excuse to do some steel shopping.... BOOYAH!

Wow sorry to hear about the loss of your knife. You never seem to quit wondering/guessing what happened to it. That sucks but shipping for a new one is a plus. At least you have a good attitude about it.
 
Should we round up a posse and go looking for the perpetrator(s)? I for one haven't had my pitchfork nor torch out in quite a bit. Would be just the thing to get the blood pumping. Nothing like a good mob ready for some violence.
 
Good excuse to buy a Brand new 2!! Sorry about the blade, must've served you well. Who could've taken it anyway? Maybe you just lost it.
 
It was stolen by some crunchy hippies, I know it...

Crunchy hippies are worse than soggy ones since they're just posers. Yeh they have berkenstocks and hemp parkas but they still eat meat and drive corollas
 
That's a sad story, man. If only someone would design a knife holder that could be affixed to your body, perhaps via some sort of space-age retention system that could also hold your pants up. Alas, such technology is probably still decades away.

Adieu, Ark's BK2.
 
Ok, here is what you do.

You're gonna need a strip of duct tape, about 8" long. A roadflare. 2 gallon gas can, full of gas.

Find out where the crunchy hippies are located...........


:D

Or just some soap and a comb. The screams will be heard for miles.
 
Decided that 5 gallons was overkill Moose? I swear to all that is holy I thought we were going to bust a gut over that one.
 
550 makes excellent dummy-cordage. Ark will be winging gas cans in no time, course he'll have to get close.

Sorry about your stolen Becker. This is why I always sleep with my knife in my tent or bivy. I never leave a weapon where it can be used against me or stolen. Not that I camp near hippies on purpose, but you never know what's gonna walk into your camp. My dog usually would smell them coming from a mile away, at least the hippies I've smelled before.
 
I just received my first Beckers, BK2 & BK11. The only thing that I've cut with 'em so far is myself (trying to just shave arm hair- successfully, by the way) and paper. I've got to get to work with them rascals.
