Hi guys, I've been lurking around here for a little while gleaning knowledge and such from the hive.

I just ordered up my first Becker, a BK2, to serve as my new EDC blade.

This knife will replace my previous EDC fixed blade, an Ontario Aircrew survival knife I inherited from my grandfather. Sadly it died a few weeks ago while the wife and I were canoeing on the Chatahoochie. What started as a gentle paddle on a clear day turned dangerous when a pop up thunderstorm turned the meandering current in to a torrent. Unable to find a suitable pull off (and admittedly a little stubbornness on my part) lead us to fight our way a little further. Eventually we ended up sideways on a rock and after fighting hard for several minutes, capsized. The pommel of my Ontario got hung up on the side of the boat and had me hung up awkwardly for a moment till the ancient leather sheath finally gave way and my heirloom was lost.
Sad as it is, I believe knives are meant to be used and Grandpa would have been happy I got so much use out of it.


Anyways, thanks everyone for all the advice, I look forward to learning from ya'll in the future.
 
Welcome to the forum. Sucks you lost the heirloom, but the BK2 won't be a disappointment. It's just a hell of a blade.
 
Thanks, I can see this is gonna be another expensive habit... I'm already eyeing a BK11.

You know, for those occasions where the bk2 is too big... Like church. Pretty much thats all.
 
At the Temple of Becker, in the Holy of Holy's, the alter is built of 2's and 9's. And there ye shall worship, amen.
 
Sad about losing the knife, but what a great way to do so. Went down in a blaze of glory.
 
Good to have you around. Get involved. Chop things up and give us pictures of it. :thumbup:
 
Sounds like a good way to lose a knife, an honorable death for an old companion.
 
Welcome to the forum, sorry you lost your old knife but you should enjoy the BK2.
 
Sorry that you lost a memory piece like that and very proud and happy you decided to replace it with a Becker....... Not, mind, that I really meant 'replace'..... Anyway thank you for buying a Two and I hope your new blade will work it's tail off for you.....

Thanks again......

+ 10 Internet points for you...

Maybe you can answer a question that has been gnawing at my brain for years...

There was a movie in that kid follows treasure map vein except in this one the kid lived with his grandpa who was wheelchair bound dressed as an eyeball for Halloween. Captain Kidd was involved, but I remember nothing else about it.

Been bugging me and Google has failed.
 
Got me there.

Perhaps someone will know.

Fifty Dollar Bill! Fifty Dollar Bill!
Btw--if you want a creepy Goonies/real life crossover, search for the mug shot of the Gabrielle Giffords shooter....
 
I preferred Swiss Family Robinson over Treasure Island personally. And I haven't seen the Goonies in FOREVER! MAN!

Sorry about the lost knife, you should be very happy with the Campanion though.
