I had thought it would have been here Thursday, either right before I left for work, or right after I left, but to no avail. On all three breaks I texted my girlfriend, but there was no Becker to be had. So, fast forward to 1:30 a.m., and my ten hour shift is done. What to do now? Stay up until the mailman drops off my knife! At about 8:30 I'd had enough and just put a note to the mailman to leave the package if I didn't answer, as I was sleeping. Less than an hour after going to bed, there's a knock on the door!
My 15 has arrived. I decided to set it on the couch until I am up for good. 5 hours of sleep later and my hand longs to hold the 15. So, I get up, and am I ever surprised! I absolutely love this knife! I've used it in the kitchen already, and even with the coating it cut circles around my actual kitchen knives (it wouldn't hurt to give them a sharpening, either)! I didn't know if I was going to like the choil, and it is still a bit of getting used to, but I am incredibly pleased. It is my most expensive knife to date, and I couldn't be happier. I love the sheath, too! An incredible fusion of form and function! Now for pics!
I was quite surprised with how well it carved wood with the coating! While I will eventually strip it, I'm leaving the coating on for know, like I did with my eskabar On a side note, anyone know where to get longer stainless hardware? I made some liner last night, and to my dismay the hardware wouldn't fit anymore. And on another side note, if I were to make a leather sheath for it, would a welt be necessary? I'm pretty confused when it comes to welts. Thanks for looking!
