Post your Becker knives pics here

Been doing a lot of blade comparisons and testing.... (excuse to cut stuff but who really needs one)... my back porch is starting to look like a rabid wood chipper got turned loose. All great cutters....

 
Something a little different:

I really like those handle scales. Ever since I first saw them, I have thought they add a very classy look to an already great blade. Wish there were more to be had.

They are sweet, and make a huge difference n the way the knife feels. I lucked out, and got these gifted to me.
 
I have been enjoying this pic thread quite a bit. I've mostly been a Mora/Fallkniven guy, but I bought my first BKT the other day to try out (BK16). Here's a pic with my favorite Scandinavian piece of kit - Gransfors Bruks small forest axe. Very little you can't accomplish with these 2 tools.

Thoughts on the BK16 so far as a bushcraft knife. I stripped the blade/knife since the black coating is more like a pumice stone and was much too rough when slicing. I was a bit surprised once I got the coating off how prominent the tool marks on the blade were, no apparent post mill buffing it seemed to me - but I don't really care how it looks, just how it works. I did a quick forced patina with vinegar/mustard to give a bit-o-protection. I roughened up the zytel handles with some fine sandpaper since they were slick as sh..., well they were really slippery in the morning with dew coating all the wood and grass. The spine needed squared up a bit to improve firesteel sparkage. The gimping is well done, good depth, spacing and length along the spine for the way that I use this knife. The ergonomics, balance and hand-fit of the knife are fantastic. Really well done. I don't usually put micarta on knives that would be used for processing fish & game. The sheath is OK, seems like it will hold up fine, but I think it will need a few mods once I carry the knife a bit more. At camp (just for a weekend), the edge held up pretty well for camp chores - but then I don't use my knives for processing wood like many seem to. Edge touched up fine on a strop. I'll have to see how it holds up longer-term since I am more familiar with convex or scandi edges. As long as it cuts, we're good :thumbup:

So far, I am really liking the knife, good value at this price point certainly. I also bought a BK14 with the 16, and like it for small camp chores. Ethan has done a good job of cooking up the meth, I mean developing a great looking series of knives to cover off on just about any activity. I have to say the 15 is looking pretty good as a kitchen knife 'bout now.

Welcome to the asylum Isotope.
Allways nice to see the becker bug bite claim another victim.

Btw, i say go on the 15. It's was my first Becker and i absolutely love it. It rides in or on my pack wherever i can legaly carry it.
 
Stole this idea off you tube. Thought it was a great idea so hopefully I can get out on a hike and see how it carries!


 
Set aside a bit of time in the macro laboratory today for projects. What to do, what to do? Oh - How about shooting my new BK14 ...
