The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/
As Whetstone alluded to, I have a Becker BK17... The old style with a stamped blade, used to cut some fuzz sticks and that's it, up for grabs as of now!! Comes with sheath!
The very cool part of this offering is that this knife was given and shipped to me by Ethan Becker himself!! I've kept it near and dear because Ethan is a great person, but it's time for someone else to own it.
Forgive this convoluted post, but if you dont want to follow along it ends with a Becker 17 offer, but not from me.
A few pages back I mentioned I wanted to offer an Emerson, with a request: whoever got the Emerson should be someone who hasn't owned one, who would take it out, use it, snap some pics of it in action, and post their review back in the thread. Yes, I know I can do all of that myself and post elsewhere in the forums, but thought it would be more fun to do it here. NYOutdoors PMd me and asked to do the review as he has never owned an Emerson, and offered to give several other knives to the thread in exchange. This is a generous offer, so I decided to give the Emerson to him, and he would then offer a knife to everyone.
OK so if you follow all of that the offer is forthcoming from NYOutdoors, it is a BK 17 (old style, stamped, not laser etched), which should go to someone new to Beckers (or at least the 17), who is willing to take it out and review it, and then post some pics back in the thread. If you follow my thinking here it was we give 2 knives away, and get two reviews, and get 2 happy people instead of just one. Win, Win, Win in my opinion.
Let me know if anyone thinks this is out of line, I think we are following the spirit of the thread. I will not try for the BK 17 as this isn't a trade, there is another place for that. Below are pics of NYOutdoors new Emerson A100 (awful pics i know):

Hope both of them find a nice home...if I'm understanding correctly?
How about a link to a review thread? More pictures without cluttering this thread and we can enjoy seeing the knives in use.I like this idea if the of doing reviews on knives that are given away to somebody. The review and pics do not have to be extensive however we all love pictures. It would be cool if most of us started to do this. There would be a lot of reviews and pics and we would be able to see the lovely knives in action and here about their performance. I am interested in the BK17 if it is not spoken for, I am new to Beckers and only own a few fixed blades, but I have plenty of firewood that can be cut up or split. The BK17 is a little small for some of those tasks, but would still be a fun review.

I will take it Ha Ha
Lol, same. Life if funny like that, and by funny I mean cruelFunny, I keep missing the knives I really wanted, but I always have a chance to respond to the knives I pass on. I guess my karma is in purgatory until the knives I sent out reach their new owners. C'mon October 10th!![]()
I really enjoy seeing/hearing of all the little extras/trinkets/keychains people are including in their boxes, I included paracord key-fobs in several of my packages and then today I got a package and included with it was a sweet .45ACP round made into a paracord keychain.
Good evening ladies & gents,
Boy this thread is really hopping! I have something else to offer however I'm going to change it up a little bit. What I'm noticing is some really awesome things being posted and people snatching them up in literally a minute or less. In order to give more people a chance here's what I'm going to do.
At 10:00pm EST I'll be posting an electric knife sharpening tool. Along with it will be a question. I'll give everyone interested an hour to email me their answers. Then at 11:00pm EST I'll post the answer and let you know who 'won' the item.
If you're interested in a knife sharpener check back in between 10 & 11pm EST!
Thanks
