I did food prep for this Father's Day dinner with my new BK 10. The coating was more than I could bare. I was persuaded by other posts to try and keep the factory setup. With the coating, it took way to much down pressure to cut into a green pepper. So I figured it was time for high speed and low drag. Forced a patina with vinegar while I was at it. Cobra braid belt for rigging everything up. Chefs choice.

I keep a naked BK-24 in the knife drawer just for that purpose, food prep. It helps that I had a local knife sharpener guy put an edge on it that I keep it in the sheath so as to not slice off a finger or three when blindly retrieving it.
 
I agree with you on the idea of stripping the coat off. I decided a long time ago that all food prep knives HAVE to be stripped. So far I've stripped my 5, 14, 15, 16 & one of my 9s. I gotta say that 10 turned out great.

Congrats on the 10!
 
Nice! I'm hoping to get some duplicates soon or at least another Becker of some kind that I may strip and play with patina on...
 
Thanks fellas. The 2 wasn't so good with the tomatoes. The 16 wasn't quite long enough. I'm hoping the ten will be a good combination of the two. I like using my beckers for food prep. Can't always go and wack trees down with em. Both are fun.
 
16 wasn't long enough? You must have some seriously large tomatoes!
I wedged a 5" diameter one with my Para2 at lunch today. :)

I'm just jealous. Diggin' the stripped 10. But with a BK7 and RMD already, I can't justify it. To myself. Yet.

.......15....cough.....cough......15.......
Oh sorry, I had something in my throat. The 10 looks pretty good. Can't seem to think of one that would work better for food prep at the moment.

The 2 wanted to chop the tomatoes instead of slicing them. Like telling the hulk to sit down for a tea party. The 16 wasn't quite enough length for large potatoes. Still not bad in the kitchen. I think the ten is just right. Always justifiable ;-)

It's on my radar. 5 or 15?.. Could use one to stay in the kitchen while the men are out rooting around. Leaning towards the 15. Impress me!!
 
I don't have the 5 but will post some pics of the 15 when I get a bit of free time. It's a very nice blade.
