I am vacation in sevierville TN . Took my wife out to see lots of dinner shows and shopping etc.Yesterday I was finally got some time for a smokey mountain knife shop. I seen a YouTube guy prepairedmind101 really push me to becker. I did not know that KA-bar made in the USA stuff other than the old school kabar fighting knife before that. A big bk9 is going home back to NY with me . I took a small sharping stone to it and wow she takes a edge quick . I am keeping her stock till I get some time with it.
