Hello, all. The time has come for me to break my silence. Moose, consider this to be thread number one towards beckerhead status.

Nearly a year ago, I began searching for a knife that was bigger than the Ka-bar I was carrying then. I have always had an interest in knives since I was very young, and I remembered a knife that my grandpa had, a Camillus Becker. I handled it once back in the day, and I don't recall what model it was, but I remembered the handle design, the name Becker, and that it was a beast.

So, I did some googling, found Bladeforums, and ordered a BK9, which quickly became my favorite knife.

Not long after that, I found myself ordering a BK11, which quickly replaced the linerlock that I had been carrying.

And then I procured an ESKaBar, which now rides in my pocket every day.

Obviously, the next step in this 1095 cro van and grivory induced addiction is to join with you Beckerheads, so here I am.
 
Very cool. Welcome. Though the 7 was my first, the 9 was really my gateway drug. Looking forward to hearing more from you and seeing how you use those knives.
 
Welcome! You picked a good place.
I too replaced my linerlock, but with an eskabar.It is now always in my pocket.

Do you prefer the eskabar over the bk11?
 
Welcome to the Becker forum, and Bladeforums, you picked a good spot!! We like knives, we like Beckers, and hey, what's not to like. Ethan should be along shortly, to welcome you as well.

I do love that 9/14 combo, man, there is nothing in the woods that can't be done with that setup. I'm really courting my 7 right now, rekindling a love of long ago, but my 9 and 2 wait patiently in the vanguard, knowing they will get back in rotation. Kinda like a Becker harem.:foot::D

I'll be watching and waiting for you to post your quals in the Lets Roll thread, and then, well, I got a number just for you.

Good stuff. Welcome to the madness.

9 is my favorite so far too. But I plan on "testing" them all :D

Keep a sharp eye on your wallet.
It tends to get a wiska' lighter around here (lol)
 
Is gramdpa still among the living? If he is you should ask him if you can have his knife when he's gone. If he's gone, well you need to get that knife. You know what you have to do. The story will always be incomplete until you have it.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.
 
Yes, welcome to our corner of the asylum!
 
Welcome,I have a 5,2 and 11.I want a second 2 and a 9 and 7.
Best blades more the money IMO.:thumbup:.My goal is to own
two of each,one user one safe queen.:p
 
You'll be spending a LOT of time and coin with us once this 'Becker' thing really gets into the ol' bloodstream!
 
Welcome welcome. Got a great group of guys and gal here. Like previously mentioned. Keep an eye on that wallet. It tends to run a muck at the scent of becker steel :)
