I first started looking at knives while trying to find a solid survival knife. I ended up choosing the Ka-Bar D2 Extreme Fighting/Utility knife. While I love that thing - especially during our pig roasts - I wished later for something with a full tang rather than a fattened rat tail. I found this forum and discovered all sorts of wonderful knives.
I live overseas, so I had to wait until my next trip to the States to pick up my order. Waiting for me were a BK2, BK3, BK7, and a Sharpmaker. For folders I also got a little Sebenza and a ZT 551. It was like Christmas.
I love the Beckers, though I did have a hard time figuring out how to sharpen that chisel grind on the BK3. Now I want some tweeners, the Machax, and the 9. I think my fiancée is going to kill me.
My only regret was getting the ZT 551 instead of a large Sebenza to go with the small. The ZT is fantastic, but I just love the simplicity, styling, and blade on that Seb.
Next time
