Well, if you're like me you've wanted one for a long time, so what do you think about it?
Share your thoughts, pics and reviews.




Mine's not here yet, so I'm living vicariously through the lucky ones that have theirs.
 
Love it although i was hoping for it to knock the 2 off my belt but I don't think it will I think they will share. It will be a nice compliment for the smaller chores and the thumb ramp is actually very welcome on this piece for greater control. Its a beaut for real. More as I get better acquainted I promise.....

I only have about 18 hours left until the flood gates open and everyone has one....let me bask in what little glory I have. Its my 15 minutes of fame in beckerville
 
I got nothin', man. No UPS yet. Midwest storms must be kicking my butt.
Kids are gone out of town with their mom, so I can't even manage a good "For Barlow!!!" bracelet picture.
I'm thinking of infracting clichtenwalner1 for being so happy about his two-bolt version. :p

Im thinking of paying to have my username changed to "twobolt10"
 
I should be posting some news up here tomorrow if all goes right. :)
 
What was old is now new again.

Some pictures of my new BK-10 and some side by side shots with an original.

Notice the more aggressive grind geometry up front and through the entire blade length.
















All in all, a very nice job Ka-Bar, Tooj, Ethan. and anyone else involved. It's things like this that take a knife company from good to great. A great knife and excellent customer appreciation. Everybody likes to feel special and you guys and girls have managed to achieve that. Great job.

I like it's slightly more aggressive stance. It feels good in hand, but what Becker doesn't? I will peel the Grivory and slap the Bk-77 micarta slabs on today. But it won't be going in the field until the weather breaks.

Personally, I like the looks of the new one better. Lucky. You've got two of 'em.
 
We need to commission someone to make us some kick a$$ leather sheaths for this beasty. Something befitting it's original purpose perhaps. If we could do a group purchase we could get a great deal and the sheath maker could make enough to do ok as well. What do you guys think? I would do the leg work if you guys are interested. Or we could look to a Becker Forum maker.

I'm not locked into JRE, but I just ordered this one for my F1 and really liked the looks of it.

JRE does make some good stuff

I ordered a custom leather sheath for the bk2 from them 4-5 months ago and its still hasnt shown up, I am hoping its top notch quality when it does show up
 
Yeah they're lead times are out there. I was told 17-19 weeks when I ordered mine. But at least they were up front about it.
 
Mywifethinksimcrazy does outstanding work. Give him some time to make one for is and im sure he will hook you up
 
I like the KA-BAR version better. The swedge is much better imo.
 
KaBar rocks! nice grinds :)

i can SEE my UPS truck ;) so close.
