Got my first Becker yesterday:



A Ka-Bar BK7. I got it off a member here-brand new, old style coating and sheath. I really like it, but a new sheath will be in my future! Any suggestions on aftermarket sheaths, or should I just order the newer style that Ka-Bar now supplies with these?

A BK2 may also be in my future, too, but I have not decided 100% on that yet. I'm definitely going to get an Esee 5, but I may also get the BK2 to feed my new knife obsession.

As long as I'm posting pics, some of you may find this funny. My niece and I went to a concert the other day (Miss May I & August Burns Red), and they were passing these out as we walked in:





...and unfortunately they were enforcing it with security guards in the crowd. Every time the pit would start they would get in and break it up. It was still a good concert, though. :cool:
 
Thanks. That's very likely to happen as the local knife shop has the BK2 in stock, and it costs less that the ESEE 5, so I'll need to wait a little bit to get the ESEE.
 
Got to agree with the lads, grab the BK2 and consider a BK16. As for the sheath I suppose It depends on your preference, for me I like leather, the nylon ones are good for what they are and reasonably cheap.

If you need to save for leather, I think you can pick up the newer sheath for 20 something dollars. I don't mind them at all, and welcome.
 
Yeah, after much thought (well, actually, little-to-no thought), I am going to get both. First the BK2, and then the ESEE 5. I am going to give the stock sheath a chance for a bit, but I'd really like a kydex sheath with good retention. I know there's a few options out there, but they cost almost as much as the knife, so perhaps I'll just see if the stock sheath grows on me.
 
I started with the 7 too. Get the 2 then a tweener and then a ...........
It just keeps going.
Congrats and welcome to the addiction.
