Snagged one last FBM

[xanax]

I had to grab another CGFBM with black mag handles before they pull 'em.
Got a couple of Becker Knife and Tool #9's also. That should be enough for the week. Hopefully.......

Congrats man, I want to order one more before they go but I gotta figure out if I gots the cash

Nice snag.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find BK-9's?

www. knivesplus.com, hopefully they are in stock, if they aren't I kindly asked them to cancel the order, so I can get them else where before they too dry up. Try Froogle also. Jeff:thumbup:

also seems to possible have a few, Good Luck to both of us.
When you try to order it looks like they have two in my basket all the time. maybe that's all they have?
Two knives and sheaths for 130.00 can't beat the price.

I don't know. I have my doubts. I think the popular Beckers are pretty much gone. From what I heard/read, Camillus was shafting Ethan on his royalties during and after the strike. So Ethan pulled the plug on the line and is taking his designs and his name elsewhere. I've read stuff that suggests that he had to get a court order to seize all remaining Becker stock. Camillus will likely be importing Chinese crap soon, thanks to the new ownership. Rumor is that Ethan and Ontario may be getting friendly. Nothing confirmed yet though.

I've been buying up some Beckers since I heard about the plant strike. Just need one more BK-10 and I'm pretty much done. Got a user BK-1 (Brute) from Bill Siegle just the other day.

I hope yours come in, but I'd call and check on inventory. Camillus will not be producing any more.

However, I do wonder what will become of the stock that Camillus had left (which presumably belongs to Ethan now). Am still hoping to see some of it surface on FleaBay.

Here are a couple of links from what appears to be an insider perspective on the Camillus/Becker situation:

Back on topic...

I'm sure tempted to get another CG FBM with snakeskin. Or green linen. Hmmmm....

 

[Webscrounger]

Me too! I think another is justified! Hmmmmm......Should it be an LE or 2 CG'S?

 

[Dennis in MA]

One is plenty for me. . . but I'm considering beefing up my Beckers. I didn't know they were going to Ontario. Too bad. Camillus made a great product.

I talked to Ethan at the blade show & he said he might be going with K-Bar if things continued to go downhill with Camillus, which they have! But that was in june 2006!

 

[Bravado]

Yep the Infi worm is buried deep in you!

 

[xanax]

I have three possible backups for the beckers if knives plus is sold out....now do i need a lefbm.......I'll sleep on that one I really like the ak's but black on black is gone...

That black/tan g-10 handle is very tempting for a second FBM

That black/tan g-10 handle is very tempting for a second FBM

Indeed, the black/tan is an awesome combo!
