Thank you, Sir. It will be an honour to own one of your blades. Though I am informed that it is quite impossible to own just one.......
And I do intend to put the marks of use on it :)

Don't know if I can be a Beckerhead yet but a fan I am! And if I am not being too forward, I'd like to show you something that I mocked up on MS Paint. I claim no absolute originality for the thought but it did come to be well before I saw the ideas thread on this forum. The mock up quality is garbage but I do believe it is pretty. Please forgive and indulge my gumption in attempting to present a blade "idea" to one such as yourself.

INBOUND!!!!!
Should have it by Saturday............
Isn't anyone gonna breathe asthmatically through a mask and welcome me to the dark side?
 
I'm ordering mine on friday!!! I cant wait!!!! It will be my first of many beckers to come.
 
I got it! Eskabar, Zytel Scales and a Lansky Deluxe System. Cost literally doubled due to international shipping and customs duty. Still worth it.
@#%*# camera is lent out to a friend so I will put up pics on Monday.
First Impressions- It is bloody robust. Feels indestructible. Haven't cut anything significant with it except veggies and a cpl chicken breasts but it just fits.
Edge could be sharper though. Bladite's database says 15 degree sharpening angle. I assume that's on each side?? I cant believe I did not think of this. Any advice? The Lansky has 17, 20, 25, 30 degrees. Are the angles on the Lansky inclusive or per side? Reason dictates the angles on the Lansky are inclusive and Bladite's recommended angle of 15 deg is on each side. Ideal setting on the Lansky for the Eskabar, anyone?

Sheath doesn't appear to dull the knife. It seems to me that there is just under 2mm clearance between the blade edge and sheath material. Plus there is no rattle. I don't know if it will develop over time though. I will sharpen it and check the sheath. I am thinking of pushing an oild soaked leather strip into the edge part of the sheath if it does dull the edge.

Advice please.

No experiance with the lansky, sorry Vasu. Seems you got one of the newer sheaths if theres isnt any problems. Enjoy your 14...Any questions just ask me and I'll try and help you.
 
Thank you Cam. Well I have no intentions of stripping it or anything considering I live in one of the world's most humid environments. But I would just like to know what I should keep the edge geometry at?

Well, the current edge angle...I think its 15 degrees? Check the blade database and some other places online to be sure (I think some info on the BT&K database is slightly off)
 
Did it. Re-profiled to 25% inclusive. But the bad news is that the sheath dulls it. Not as much as virtuovice says but it does. :(
Gonna make a leather sheath for it.
