Well I decided to balance out the Becker side with a few Ka-Bars. Today I ordered a leather handled plain blade Ka-Bar and a leather handled plain blade Mark-1. I've had the hots for the Mark-1 since it was released.
 
Cool!! Please post pics after you get them. :)
 
Well here are a few shots of the new kids on the block. This will have to suffice until I get some action shots,

TWo nice looking boxes for my Mail Lady.


Here's what was inside,


Without their pants,


Been using the Mark 1 around the house, Just general purpose utility and kitchen duty. I quite like it.

I took the big Ka-Bar on my hike this morning, but didn't have an excuse to use it.

More will follow as these two enter the rotation.

LostViking, nice looking knives. Thanks for the pictures. You take them the same way that I do. :cool: This thread is tempting me to order both also!
 
Thanks for the compliment.

I have too many knives, But I'm selling down many of my more expensive ones in favor of more value oriented users. I love the Big Ka-Bar. It feels good in the hand. And it carries with it so much history, you can almost feel it. It's the AK-47 of knives. Whenever people ask me what I recommend in a survival/utility, knife I always say. Ka-Bar/BK-7. The Ka-Bar has served this purpose well, in situations where actual survival has depended on it.

I liked them so much I went ahead and ordered the 3/4 Ka-Bar too.

The little Mk1 is seeing a lot of light utility and KP duty. So far so good. Looks like another round of Busse/Swamprat knives will be heading to the for sale forum soon.

The Ka-Bars and Beckers do everything I need with enough style and pa-nosh for me.
