so I was out in the woods with a friend (and my 7) the other day. Let him use my 7 for a few mins, and he loved it. Later that day, he went home and placed a bid on a 7 on the internet. He says it's in good condition I haven't seen it yet. He won the knife for $72. I know many people are averse to the 7, but I really enjoy mine. Probably just because it's my first Becker and I haven't had a chance to use any others except the 2 lol. just figured I'd share that little story, because in my mind, any knife that can make somebody want to buy it after just a day in the woods is amazing. the Becker bug just may have another victim!
