I haven't been around here in Beckerland much, been fairly busy with life, doing this and doing that.

Figured I'd post a pic of my 3 favorite Beckers. The BK10 I've had the longest, since ages ago, I wasn't a real big knife guy back then. I saw it in the catalog, it cost about 44 bucks, looked awesome and was made in the US, so why not. It's taken trips with me to far off places, pretty much been retired since though.

The BK5 is my absolute favorite of mine for general outdoors tasks, it's long, pointy, thin and very capable. Have downed fairly large trees with this badboy.

The Machax is also a great one, my only khukri style blade. Was given to me by the man himself at a gathering a year or two ago.

Well anyway, here ya go and howdy guys. :D

Well at least you use your BK's all of the time ~~ mine are as good or better than when I got them ~~ sometimes I really
worry about myself.!! lol

Looking like you got a well used 4 there. I've been having the impulse to take mine out for some action soon. My 9 tends to get all my attention. I too love the 5 and have wailed on that thing and it really does it all well. The 5 has always had a really strong draw for me. When I lay out all my Beckers on the table it's always the first one I pick up to spin around.
 
Howdy. Nice selection of knives you got there. I also like the 5. Just about the best camp knife I've ever had.
 
Love the perspective you chose for the photo! And, great to see some well loved blades!
 
Thanks guys.

I also used the "dramatic" setting on my camera. If you use it right you can take some very neat pics.
 
That's a great photo right there. Looks like you've been putting those blades to work :)
 
Hey man where you been? And why haven't you made it back to a gathering? Anyways, those are some good looking blades. Well loved.

Thanks, bud. They are well loved and used. I have some fancy stuff yet reach for my Beckers quite often.

Been doing my best to live a normal life honestly. Have had some pretty bad health problems, surgery, etc since the last gatheringI attended. Thought I was good back then but a big problem was brewing inside. It's been months since it was fixed but taking a while to mend. Long hard road out of hell, eh. I really hope to make it to some gatherings soon. I'm so close to Ethan's place I shouldn't have an excuse really.
 
Sorry to hear about the health issues, but don't let that keep ya from being around! More the merrier around here, especially like minded individuals!

That's very true, bud.

I'll have to start coming around here more often, posting knife reviews and whatnot more. Haven't done a becker in a while, next time I do I'll post it.
