Well I have been on a bit of a spending spree of late. As we head into Autumn here in Australia I'm getting ready for lots of camp outs. (Summer is way too hot and the number 2 deadliest snake (King brown) is a plenty). I must say I still lean toward the BK22 over the BK10, the 10 is a very nice blade though. Loving the BK24 especially with Tommythewho handles.

The wife wanted the Dozier, Its a pink ribbon breast cancer awareness model, very sharp. Really looking forward to getting out and using them. The only blade I've used is the one I refurbed, I've really enjoyed using the BK2. The rest have been safe queens.

Next purchase is the BK4 I think.

Thanks lads, I believe the most deadliest is the inland taipan. looking forward to using the BK9. Awesome to hold. I really like 7 as well.
 
Great knives, congratulations! I own the same Becker models and especially love the 9 and 10. Seeing those two in the photos together, I never realized before how the 10 looks like a scrunched up 9 (or conversely, the 9 resembles an elongated 10)!

Enjoy.

Very nice array of knives!

I have a bk9 and bk10 on the way for my becker collection.:)

Gonna have to get one of those pink doziers for the wife as well since she lost her mom to cancer, which started as breast cancer.

Thanks for posting!
 
Very nice set! I highly recommend you hunt down a 5 and/or 15 while they're closing out, fantastic blades and you can get them for killer deals at the moment.

This information is taken from the Australian Venom Research Unit (sorry about the format, didn't paste as well as I was hoping). Not sure whether the King brown is referred to as the spotted brown or the eastern brown.

We have 20 of the top 25 most toxic snakes in the world here and the first snake in the list from another country doesn't enter until no.12. I'm (like a lot of Australians) kinda proud of these facts (not that I had anything to do with this though).

I was chased by a 12ft monster eastern brown walking home from my mates place one morning. I was in between a fence and a 4 metre high retaining wall at the time and was only aware of the big bugger when I was right next to it. The 30 or so metres that it chased me for was the quickest I've ever run! As I rounded the corner I passed a young lady and yelled "snake!" at which point she screamed and hooked it after me. I turned to look to see where it was when I saw two lads in a work truck laughing their butts off at our misfortune. Mongrels :D

So, how did I know it was an eastern brown? Well I've seen them before but they're very distinctly monumentally aggressive. They KNOW they're toxic enough to drop a Kenworth so they'll take on anything. Anyway, that's my snake story.

Sorry to hijack your thread there my friend. Nice blades there too Gas. You'll have fun with those.. Springy.
 
Dayummmmm .......And Australia was on my bucket list....... May have to reconsider..... LOL.... Whoosh that's a lotta anti tourist venom right there........

Oh damn..... I got seriously sidetracked there..... Gassy...... What I meant to start with was many thanks for buying so many of my blades...... I hope they work hard on your behalf ...... I am looking forward to seeing pix after the camping season........ Watch where you step, my friend......

supposedly there is a sign in Oz near a park/forest that says something like

Welcome to Australia National Park
This park contains many poisonous snakes
These snakes are protected by law
You are not

Enjoy!
 
Makes you wonder what it was like for the early Europeans arriving in Australia who'd never seen a Taipan or Brown.


I interviewed at a big defense contractor in SW Denver who had signs in the parking lot warning about checking under your car for rattlesnakes and employed full-time snake wranglers to keep the lawns and sidewalks clear.
