I already have a BK-2, BK-9 and BK-16. So what do I do tonight? I order another Becker, of course. This time it is the BK-7. Hope my wife isn't here on Friday when it comes in the mail. I am beginning to see the wisdom of those who say just buy all the Beckers at once and get it over with.
 
Or get it sent to you at work. That would be the best idea. That way you can leave it in the car for a couple days, maybe a week then when you do bring it in you can say "This thing?! Pffft I've had it for a while now."
 
Well done on the new steel, and a great suggestion from Cbear! :) Deception is always safer:D

Bahahaha I'm guilty of doing that. Few years ago with I believe it was a CS Counter-Tac that I carried for a week and never used (because of the design) because its only really good for one thing....That and I cant really justify needing a double edged dagger for an EDC.

Congrats on the 7!
 
I'm as guilty as anyone on this. I just bought another BK24 today.
I gave my little brother a 14 last Christmas and he's been complaining about rust. Apparently he likes to use it in the kitchen and then throw it in the dishwasher. :eek:
I'll trade him the 24 for his 14 and we'll both be happy. :)

For a guy who's not married (AFAIK) you ahr velly skirfur at the aht of spousar decepetion, glasshoppah.
It only works sometimes, BTW. They're not as clueless as they pretend...go look in her shoe closet ;).
Nice call on the 7, jbass.

The only hazard with that one is if the wife/SO runs into _______________ at one of those "spouses/SO welcome/attendance mandatory" events and she "Thanks" them for being "so generous" / "so enabling", etc.... Then the fur will fly and the xxxx will hit the fan. :D:D:D

How do I know this, you ask?? It's called being on the receiving end of the compliment, and, having NOT been advised that I was the generous benefactor of ANYTHING to said individual, said, "HUH??? Watcha talking about?"

I might have been more eloquent, or at least a little quicker on the up-take if I had not already had several ETOH enhanced beverages in protective custody.

Which is why I didn't recommend that method. Unless there are several of you with similar ailments and can support each other.
 
I was ordering another knife this evening and was looking at the BK-15... figured what the heck, I'll order that one too. Did almost the same thing with the BK-7.

If you are truly concerned about your spouse (or significant other) seeing the package in the mail box, I would suggest you consider renting a PO Box which you keep the key for. I have one for business, but I have other stuff shipped to that address as well. They aren't that expensive.
 
Noooooo. It didn't come today like it was supposed to. Shame on you Amazon. And I spent all day at home to intercept it before my wife saw it. Might have to order another knife to drown my dissapointment.
 
USPS tracking is not so great. But I will say that stuff usually arrives. You should have it tomorrow.
