Hello all, I have been lurking awhile and figured it was time to say hello. Long story short i have always done alot of camping and hiking but have never really gotten into any survival type stuff. Y2K didn't concern me, nor do the predictions of the Mayans. But...... the way things are going crazy in the world around us I have started putting together a bug out bag. Well any good reason to buy a new knife right? I started with a Mora Tri Flex but decided I would like a heavier blade also. Which led me to Becker Knife and Tool. And you fine peeps.
Anyhow so now I am the proud new owner of a nice new shiney BK2. I say shiney because as soon as I got it I stripped the black epoxy off the blade. I'm just not into the "tactical" look. I left the coating on under the scales to help with rust prevention though, and will now let the blade patina as it will.
So far I really like the BK2 I live in Northern Idaho so a lot of my bushcraft type "tasks" are based around hacking and chopping conifers and this brute does just fine. I ordered a BK14 this evening that I'm thinking about using as my edc knife.
Sorry if this was the wrong place to post an intro. John
