The Fat UPS Dude drops off new toys

Sweet! Mount Ka-Bar = doghouse for me, but I've recently taken some financial steps that have bought me some huge points. :)

Which hawk is on the bottom on the right? Is that the CS Rifleman?

Well if you happen to have a nice set of asian twins, say around 20-24 then I'd be willing to swap for one. No? Oh well sorry then.

You're gonna have to take your human trafficking to the trading forums. The MOOSE has been very clear on this.

:D

How do you like that 3/4 USMC KaBar? I've been thinking about getting one of those.

It's kind of uhmm dainty maybe is the right word. It is a good backup blade but I think Kabar's tanto design would be better in the small factor, I have one of those on the way so we will see.
 
I bet it would be cooler with the top guard ground off... a better fit for adult hands.

Yea, thats what it looks like to me, although I've not held one. And grinding off the top guard would be nice, but at that point, I think it would be easier to have just picked up an MK1.

Still, nice haul. What are all of those hawks?

I think that is a rifleman's hawk, a trail hawk, pipe hawk, and norse hawk, all by cold steel. But I'm probably wrong.

3 out of 4 right, frontier hawk not norse though they look nearly the same. Haven't had time to play with the mini bar yet, but it is a solid little knife that I think would make a good light backup knife but I think I would grind off the top part of the guard and jimp it for starters.

It's hard to make objective opinions sometimes when all the Beckers are giant hunks of steel.

I tend to buy a bunch of things at one time rather than one at a time, That way when I have free time I can grab whatever tickles me for the day and start designing things for it.

They don't make blue knives, eh? ;-)
I'm looking forward to what you come up with for the Mk-1.

Blue guns I can understand, well most of the time. Knives? Nah usually I just get the real deal. Work tool, tax write off.

Hey Skystorm...

I want to thank you so much.....Both for the business and also for the happiness that comes from knowing that I am not alone in doubling or tripling up on stuff I can't wear out.........BUT, ya never know how many anvils you might need .......Currently I am stockpiling 10-22's and I have yet to get close to wearing out the one I have had for 40 tears.....BUT.....Ya never know.....LOL.....

Anyhow, THANK YOU for buying Beckers.....

All Best.....

Hi Ethan, Well you keep making them and I'll happily keep buying them. The wife says I need a punch card, buy 20 get a tweener or something, girls are funny.

They are the only knife I have ever had that I don't worry about whether they are up to a task or not.
 
I have a riflemens tomahawk been using it for a couple years now and i love it it is a constant companion in my hiking/fishing/survival pack. a little heavy but it does the job intended. nice haul have with all of those sharp and pointys!

Strangly enough, I think this is the first photo I've seen of the small USMC and the large side by side. I had heard people say that the smalls handles really were... small... but dang, thats tiny.

Congrats on the cool stuff man, and I hope the rest of your stuff comes soon :).

I've got a Ka-Bar "short" fighter, as they are called. The handle is very small, almost tiny. It feels very small in my hand, and I wear a Men's "S/M" glove (more "small" than "medium," too)
