well, hello out there!

i love this site! when you log onto this badboy, school is in!

first off, i gotta say that i'm still squirrely about broadcasting credit card info over the web. that said, i've been looking all over central ohio for a retail outlet that carries bkt. as it turned out, i shoulda first searched for a retail outlet in central ohio that has HEARD of bkt. i stumbled upon the fruits of mr. becker's labor on the internet, and after that, i knew that despite the aforementioned credit card/internet reservations, a bkt would be mine.
mind you, i work for an outfitter in this neckathewoods, and we can't even order any through our buyers! what the hell?!!!!!!

then finally, two true knifestuds, john and anthony, came to the rescue with a "bkt? hell, yeah! brickwall strong! great stuff! yeah, we can get it."

well folks, i gotta tell ya, i am now the ever-so-proud owner of both a bk9 and a bk10! it's my pleasure to report that it's a unique feeling to know that it's not humanly possible to have 2 better knives than what you now own. some folks may feel otherwise, but not me, jack! those two creations satisfied what was turning out apparently to be a totally unrealistic set of requirements on my part: a hell-for strong, modernized bowie config at a price that wouldn't facilitate its buyer to have to take up residence in it once he bought it.

on top of that, i am continually impressed with the knowledge of the members of this forum, so my pride of ownership and relief from worry from having bought something sight unseen was amplified immensely by the positive reviews from such knife-savvy folks.

in short, you made my day!

ok. enough gushing. if you don't have a bkt, get one, you won't be sorry. if you already have one, i applaud your intelligence and good taste. get another one. there's a patrol machete on my mind as we speak.
also, thank you to all you guys for continuing to educate me.

catfishingly yours,
rugerhead
 
Rugerhead,

Welcome. Hard to believe no one in the central area of the People's Republik of Ohio hasn't heard of BK&T. If you ever come to the southwest area of the state send me an email. I'll take you to a knife store in Newport, Ky. where they eat, breath and live knives. Plus they stock the entire Becker line at near wholesale prices to their over the counter customers. Theis place is Valhalla for a knife nut.

Buy the way, if they don't have it (unlikely) they will order it for no additional cost.

Sincerely,

Mike

I have a few Camillus/Beckers myself. The BK-10 really is a cute little bugger, and the BK-9 makes an excellent BIG-brother to it.

But...You will also have to get a BK-7, in-order to even-out the "BK trio".:).
 
hey glockman,
you're absolutely right about a bk7 to round out the stash. when i initially contacted the dealer that i eventually acquired mine from, it was about getting a bk7 instead of a bk10 along with the bk9. they said that that they were putting together a substantial knife order and apparently they ordered a few specimens of each for retail. we had never met face to face, and with a phone order, who the hell knows WHO it is you're dealing with. anyway, by the time i was able to get to the dealer's, the bk7's were gone. however, i was quite taken with the bk10 once i saw it as being a nice contrast to the bk9, so my feelings ain't within 5 miles of being hurt. so i bought the bk9 and the crewman both yesterday and i'm happy as a pig in $#!t.

and hey old coastie, thanks for the invite.
i'll be emailing you soon. i'm the drummer in a band that's opening for the fabulous thunderbirds on 7/13 in your fair city. let's hook up. i'll buy you an adult beverage.

thanks again, everybody.
 
Old Coastie... Did you know that Cecil's moved to a new building? It is in a bigger brighter location where they can show way more stock.
You are right though it is Valhalla.
 
Hi rugerhead and welcome to Camillusville. I enjoy your writing style and look forward to hearing more from you in these forums. (Yeah, I just know that you'll be buying more bk-x's in the future). ;)
 
howdybackatcha, toothed, and thank you.
yeah, you're right. i'll definitely be picking up another
couple of bkt's, but it's just 'cause i'm trying to get on ethan's christmas card list.:)
 
I have a brother who lives in Covington KY. I should be visiting him sometime this summer. Can you give me the info (name, address) of the knife shop in Newport KY?
I'd appreciate it.
 
New to the boards here. Where is the store in Newport? I live in Warsaw Ky, a few miles from KY speedway. I really want to get a becker combat utility 7. Would rather give money to someone local,
than via internet, as long as the price is comparable. Cheapest i've priced them is $43.75 + $4.75 shipping.

Thanks,
Laddy
 
Laddy,

Sorry for the delay but I've been in Minneapolis for the last two weeks. Talk about different.

Anyway, You want to go to Cecil Clark Cutlery. Their new location is in the 800 block of Monmouth Street, in Newport Ky. I don't think they even have their sign up yet. Once you get to the correct block look for Garrett Gunsmith on the west side of the street. Cecil Clark is across the street at a slight angle. I keep thinking of 860 Monmouth.

Just be prepared to spend some bucks. These people have everything from Opinel to swords and most everything in between. Great prices and no shipping. Man am I lucky to live so close.

Mike
 
Thanks for the info, I think i'm going to stop by there tomorrow. Gotta do a job on depot st in cincy, so i'll be close!

Thanks again.
