new BK-2: break-in?

Go to hardware store, purchase stainless steel bolts and lock nuts. Install in place of stock black hardware.

Remove the rivet closest to the opening where the sharp edge of the blade goes from sheath to ease draw / reinsertion.
 
Ok, the first thing we have to go over is a list of things you'll need.

1 tube of tooth paste, 1 can of baked beans, 12 oz of lighter fluid, a gallon of industrial grade tar, 4 apple turn overs, a pot of good black tea, a pair of chop sticks, a lot rubbing alcohol, 2 sticks of butter, 1.5 cups of sugar, 5 pound bag of salt, a new tooth brush, the March 1917 issue of Popular Mechanics, 12 post-it notes (preferably asorted colors), 1 ball point pen, a brand new copy of Boondock Saints on DVD, a rubber spatula, a book of matches, a 79 watt light bulb, some furniture polish, a hot glue gun (and glue), and a few nice soft rags (I recommend jersey knit).

Send me a PM when you get the stuff together and I'll walk you through it.

Here's how you break in a Becker bk2: (pay attention and follow these steps carefully).

1. Unbox. Take pictures (without taking pictures and posting them in the Becker forum you will never unleash the full campanion power)
2. Admire and give thanks. Thanking the knife gods will protect you from stitches, and thanking ethan Becker for designing the knife is just being polite. Post pics
3. Shave hair off your arm. Another sacrifice to the knife gods, and bk2s like to eat hair. Post pics
4. Baton/chop through a battleship, or automobile, or a tank whatever you have on hand. If you don't have any of those things then wood will do.
5. give thanks again after the wood has been processed and is now keeping you warm/cooking your food/out of your way
6. Shave arm again
7. post more pictures
8 buy more beckers


Those are the steps on how you properly break in a bk2. Now off with you, go sit by the mailbox......it isn't here yet wtf!

I missed this the first time... And indeed, this is one of the first things I noticed, after receiving mine. Thanks for the hint!

The sheath lock will be tight, be sure and use your thumb on the pushramp to assist in freeing the blade.
