Ok, Beckerheads. Act like a salesman.

They're solid knives that just plain work.

The BK9 is probably my favorite.

VALUE !!!!

Name ONE US made line of fixed knives that has all these features for well under $100 street price.

1) Large 5 to 9" blades
2) Thick 3/16" to .250" blade stock.
3) Very comfortable, hotspot free handles.
4) Wilderness/Battle/ Tactical proven for over a generation.
5) Kabar's famous CroVan 1095 steel and heat treat/QC
6) So inexpensive yet of such basically high quality, they are probably the most "modable" and upgradable fixed knife made.

Buy a Becker!

BK2 if you want compact- BK7 if you want more blade length
 
Because I've been butchering and slaughtering for over 25 years and for the last decade+ I've been using a BK-5 as my main blade.

It's cuts better than anything I've used, including ceramic blades, serrated blades, and electric turkey knives.

A good dedicated slice to a deer's neck will slice cleanly to the bone as if the flesh were made of jello.

I've cleaned two wild hogs with it back to back and only felt the need occasionally freshen up the edge on a butcher's steel. IIRC maybe about three times. The edge wasn't really "dull" mind you, I just felt the need to do it. If you have done a lot of butchering, you just get in the habit of keeping your edge fresh while working. With other, lesser, knives, I'll usually refresh my edge every few minutes.


ALL THIS, and it's also a fairly good short machete.

Good info. I like hearing from people that actually use them like I plan to.
 
because you cannot get a better knife for 5 times the price?

buy now buy now buy now
 
You've already bought one..you just don't know it yet and you are really really happy about it too.
 
I like the fact that they are American made and designed from American steel. They are affordable, no frills and completely and easily customizable to fit your personal needs and wants - both utilitarian and artistic. They remind me of a Model T in the sense that they are affordable to the masses, but you can trick them out or rat-rod them. And like the Model T they come in any color you want, so long as it's black.

Let's face it, if you don't want to buy a Becker, you need to stay out of this subforum. If you do, then you're already lost. I kept trying to tell myself that I don't really like Beckers that much, but I gave up the ghost when I realized I own 4 of them already, and that's not even counting the non-Becker Ka-bar products.
 
I will stay outta this one.

I have my reasons. :D

And Mack's a knife nut.

All you gotta say is sharp, pointy, and a comfy handle. Made in the USA. Under a hundred bucks.

There, ya'll conned me into it.

:D:D

and of course, huge interaction by the company doesn't hurt,

but the warranty is tops esp in these times when some companies have changed their tune, even to the point of outright denying claims (esp as they might get a lot)

unless you are trying to scam a free knife, you can be pretty assured kabar takes care of you.

oh, and buying all or most of them? doesn't break the bank. much :)
