Scummy, decrepit Beckers

[grogimus]

In the best way imaginable. I was doing some half assed feathersticks with some of my favorite knives over on the S!K forum and it really struck me on two things.

1- How far the BK-16 was punching above its price point.

2- How badly I've treated my poor 16.

It's borderline fugly, and I absolutely love it for it! When there's something rough or nasty to do, the 16 is it. Just like the 15 in the kitchen. It doesn't get to cut a ribeye, it has to slice the mostly spoiled onion to add to my pinto beans because I'm a cheap ass trying to save money for more knives. They don't get abused or anything, but they sure get the most un-sexy of jobs.

The only thing I'd change is I'd like a little thicker handle, I bought a 16 with LMF Joe handles recently, I'm curious to see if they feel different.

If you've got a Becker you've beaten and nastified let's see them!

That is a good looking knife. Used.

Thanks! I shudder to imagine how much of my hand sweat and skin is ingrained in that micarta.

Nice well used. Don't wash it.

That's the beauty I think.

The Sweet 16 is a sweet knife. Uncle Ethan likes them to be used!

It's always great to hear how much you enjoy seeing your tools used. I should have another 16 in the mailbox today, maybe I can be a little kinder to this one. Probably not, but maybe . I hope you have a wonderful day!

Well crap, it's not every day you misspell something like 'decrepit'.

Yay, got it, just had to go to web view

I don't know about nastified, but I've beaten my BK9 far past it's price point, ignore the scales and it might look pretty beat up.
