Well I don't have a Becker knife yet.But Snakedoc sent me a BK-2 to play with till my Birthday in November.
Took her to work and worked on a tree that was along the road.

Thanks a bunch Snakedoc.
 
nice. looks like you need to get into a contest or something and win one. november is a long time to not own a bk2
 
Haha, excellent. That would be awesome.

And yes, the BK2 is quite an interesting blade. Its like a really big small knife, or a really small big knife, but I'm not sure which one. Either way, I quite like it. We'll see what happens when the tweeners come out, but I'm sure I'll end up with at least one.

And nice pics :).
 
o and you should feel it with micarta pants on......no offense to the grivory but...damn...
 
endless spiral; get a BK2, then get micarta, then a Nick or Goose sheath and then you start batoning through the blade of a Cat D9, just because you can. Cool stuff man, very generous of you SnakeDoc and good for you Hawkeye .

Murphnuge Yes snakedoc is a good one.
 
Just noticed something from the photos, and thought I would mention it. You might already know this, and already do it for all I know, but I wouldn't want you to be missing out any if you didn't, so here we go.

When you're chopping with any of the full handled beckers, try not to hold your hand right in the middle of the handle. Try holding it a bit farther back (with a 3 finger grip for instance, with the pinky off the end... also, a lanyard is good here for safety). This helps it chop much better, since you are effectively making the blade longer, and getting more mass out there moving.

Not sure I explained it the best, but when you hold it in the 3 finger grip and start chopping, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Cheers!

Also try implementing Moose's wrist lanyard technique. Don't know the link in which he explained it, anybody?
