Ha! If that knife needs batteries and a cuddle, I'm sending' it back!

 

[granitestateofmind]

The BOB, and 16 are 2 completely different beasts. The 16 probably weighs half as much. I was really surprised how heavy the BOB is.

Still have you to blame/thank for me about to own the both of therm.

Waiting for a gun is almost as bad as waiting for a new Becker. They tried to deliver it to my FFL today, but of course they just decided to close on Mondays.

Whatcha getting?

Anyone have an extra BK9 factory sheath? Any version... used, dirty, or beat up is fine, as long as it still holds the knife???

You went and got one of those knives that dont come with a sheath again didnt you lol

Another PPQ, this time in 9mm. Figure, I've got all this 9mm in my ammo stash. Might as well have something to shoot it with (sold my last 9mm).

Your a very wise man

The BK7 sheath fits the Chopweiler like a dream, it fits it better than it fits the bk7 lmao. I want to try out the BK9 sheath on a couple blades. I have been through 3 BK9s now, Sold one, gifted the other 2, I just gifted my last one a little bit back. Ill get another after Xmas time.

I see so many complaints about the factory sheaths, but honestly I love the sheaths that come with Beckers.

Well they beat the hell out of the cardboard kind.

 

[B.Mauser]

That's awesome Mauz. BTW, where the hell ya been?

Thanks Dubz. I was busy moving for a while and have just had a real busy summer since then. Have not been spending much time online. I recently bought a 600cc dirt bike and been a bit occupied playing with that too.

 

[worldwood]

Thats the truth! Anything is better than nothing

I tried a cheap nylon machete sheath but the blade cut the sheath down the side, and the tip poked right through.

Now the machete has no sheath either LMAO, but i never use it, its a cheap walmart one.

Sweet looking bike.

Glad to hear your Becker bites healing up. Good luck finding a job and with the car!

Came in last night from Todd's to put some stuff back on my workbench. The kids yelled at me frantically to keep the door closed. I asked why as I peeked inside, only to find to filthy vermin in the house. Yeah, the wife brought in cat's from her mother's. She claims she's finding them a home. I guarantee they wont be there by the end of the week regardless of their housing status.

you'll find a screen or door clawed through, some fur, and absolutely no trace of them :>

 

[Bladite]

Lol, am i crazy?

i think Ethan said that's worth a free knife? mmm.

course, we had some scammers before, almost kicked one of them off. gotta prove it

 

[Bladite]

well. friend of mine is moving.

has a 15 or 17 foot sea kayak, perception name. flat panels over port seal for front and back. keel. basic seat. paddle. new thule racks (not the bars)...

money is really tight, but i figure i don't need sleep, so i'll work some extra shifts. mine.

"bit late in the season"

yeah, but mine.

i DO have room to store such things now. yar.

"getting a round tuit"

in other news, i bought a "grizzly bar", it's a Klein pry bar. 56 inches long. i kinda like it.

unfortunately, i have to completely dig up the side steps, all the way around, bust up some concrete, and move the stairs, to get behind, to repair wood, and install proper fixes...

seems the previous owner "hid some damage" with spray foam. did a masterful job of trimming it flat, then painted it. without looking REALLY CLOSE, you can't tell.

well, after sititng on those steps, hand ladling hydraulic cement to fix some cracks in the very same stairs... i notice. wtf.

also in the midst of redoing the basement windows. same deal. clever homeowner, some inappropriate methods. spray foam. i kinda noticed the leaks

i want my basement "fairly dry" so i can at least store stuff there, if not actually have some manner of shop. someday. buying needfuls keep interfering with buying more kayaks and stuff.

I hear you loud and clear - I keep finding interesting plumbing "fixes" from the former plumber that owned this place...and the three layers of shingles that have ice dammed and leaked...etc. Of course, it's just how I've learned all these carpentry skills 'cause I can't afford to pay someone and at least if I f it up I'll fix it instead of hiding it.

Have been trying to find a WWII veteran on and off for about 5 or 6 years now. He was a good friend of my father in laws, in the 101st. Have found a few of his war buddies, dead, and alive. This one is giving me a fit. I can find where he's a silver star recipient, and can find his enlistment papers, but other than that, it's been a no go. I found one of his buddies in about 10 minutes, after I had the correct spelling of his name. Pop got to go visit him, but he has since passed. I found another friend of his (non WWII) in about 3 minutes, and was talking to him on the phone in 5. This one has been a toughy.
