let me tell you how annoyed i am with my bk11.
i dont have many requirements, but i want to know what im getting, and i was obviously misled
so ive had it a couple of months, and this is the first time ive calmed myself down enough to write this, hope this conveys my anger.
1. i spent all of my time getting ready for a bulky neck carry, sold all of my clothes and bought poofy coats and the like, and i discovered that it lays perfectly flat! so now i look like a rapper for no reason, thanks a lot camillus
2. it was too darn sharp! i pulled it out of the box, and promptly shaved my
15 year old peach fuzz. my mach 3 has trouble with that
. then i managed to cut myself in about 30 seconds, wayyy to sharp for my own good
3. youll replace it no matter how i break it! who doesnt want to have to run through the customer service fiasco. its no fun to know that if i break this knife im screwed, a worry free garuntee, where is the stress?
4. i wasted 2.30 on a bottle opener! how the hell was i suposed to know that the bottle opener on the becker would actually work? i planned on keeping the bottle opener with my knife, and now i dont need it, thanks a lot
5. it came perfect from the factory. how the heck am i supposed to improve my tinkering skills if you make them perfect like this? you could have given me an uneven grind or a bent tip, i mean that way i could have improved my grinding skills.
6. all of my friends love it. how am i supposed to use this thing around other people when all i hear is "cool, can i hold that? can i stab it through a soda can? is it possible to break it?" i mean come on, now i have to make sure no one steals it.
7. it was rediculusly inexpensive. how am i supposed to learn the value of a dollar when this thing only ran me 36.50? really, my parents are freaking out, because it has completely skewed my views of value. this is like buying a pair of levi's for 1.50.
8. its replaced all of my other knives. at my young age i have aquired 53 knives, and everything from my buck 110, to my schrade stockman, to my spyderco chinook are now sitting in a draw. all i hear from my dad now is the value of making wise decisions, then he starts ranting about the 36,50 again...
9. the sheath is too well designed. how am i supposed to look good when this thing is so perfectly light and unobtrusive. i dont have to wear a belt anymore, like with the buck 110, and all i hear from my parents is "pull up your pants" the belt used to solve that. add to that the huge unneccesary clothes, and i look like an idiot. and if the knife never falls out of its sheath, how am i going to improve my tracking skills? i never have to look for it.
hah, bet you were scared the first couple of lines there . this is far and away my favorite knife. it feels so good to hand it over to someone and know its not going to come back in 2 pieces and a sheepish grin. you have made a customer for life 
. and a couple of my friends are seriously considering buying a few 
. thanks!
