New to the BK&T Forum.

I am still new here myself, but hey, welcome to this sub-forum anyways!

The people here give great advice and are really responsive.

Becker knives are inexpensive and built tough, its hard thing to beat. Tougher blades may cost too much to really put them to the test as no one wants to replace an expensive blade. With Beckers, you dont need to be shy with them.

Pics you say? Well here a few of the 62 that came out halfway decent. The Eskabar pics are all crap, so that will have to wait for another post. The 62 is unmolested. It is starting to show some mild patina that isn’t going to show up in any photos that I can take.

My appreciation for the Kephart came slowly. I bought a Condor and really didn’t like it for the longest time until I started thinning the edge. It’s still not where I want it, but it is pretty decent in camp and in the kitchen. The 62 is obviously way ahead of it. I do not often spend over a hundred bucks for a knife, but this one was worth it to me.

Although I can’t seem to get any decent pictures of the 14, I have been carrying it a lot lately. With the stock sheath, it is perfect to drop into one of the narrow pockets on 5.11 pants or carpenter pants. I really want to carry it in a front pocket, though, but the sheath Takes up too much space. I have a couple of small fixed blades that I would carry every day if I could find the right sheath or pocket slip.

It would be nice to find some scales that gave better grip than the smooth grivory, without costing as much as the knife itself. For now I have put a couple of turns of tennis grip on the handle until I can find a better solution. Your suggestions are welcome.

My first impulse upon seeing this knife was to strip off the coating. I temporized by scraping the crinkles off the blade only, leaving a thin, fairly smooth layer of coating that should cut a little more smoothly than the textured coating.

One of the Prettier grain patterns on a 62... That I've seen....
It would maybe be cool if we start a 62 picture post....Everyone gets one post only, and send the nicest pics "documenting" our 62's....haha

Maybe I'll start one.... I Did just take some on Saturday while I was grilling and the Sun was out.... :D

It's kind of a fan club.
There are occasional forum contests and giveaways that are restricted to beckerhead members.

It’s like a cult - but the good kind, with less human sacrifice, and more food and pointy objects.


Like Vik said, it’s a fan club for members around here; get you into contests and giveaways, and we even get patches made up once in a while! Doesn’t that sound fun? You can read about it here:

Welcome buddy. I don't come on here much anymore but I still have Becker appreciation, for the value of the product and the kind forum members. It's hard to find many forums where the members are so down to earth. Becker's knives are meant to be used, enjoy them. Best to you going forward.
 
The Warrior The Warrior your feathersticks remind me of fireworks in the sky...

Nice work!
