Hello all,
Ive been a member of BF for a few years. I (like most of us, I imagine) started by lurking around and reading as much of the info around here as possible. The next step is to actually participate, mostly by asking questions at first, but eventually (if youre doing it right) we end up actually posting our experiences or projects, and those in turn, help others and hopefully add to the common knowledge base of the forum.
I first participated mostly in the Buck sub-forum, then around last summer got interested in Becker knives after discovering them while researching modified machetes (a story for another time) and spent some time around here mostly reading, but also participating in a few threads. Ive always been a bit of a tinkerer, and those are the threads that draw my attention most of the time.
In a short time (and Im sure as a result of spending time with you lot) I decided I wanted a Becker and went on a Becker mini shopping spree last summer and before I knew it I found myself the owner of six Beckers in a matter of three months.
At first I could not make up my mind between the 2 or the 7, but around the middle of August I saw an ad in the exchange for one of each, so I contacted the seller and got them both.
About a week after that another member here posted a modded BK2 so I emailed him and came away with this guy.
In early September got this well used 14 for a song.
Two weeks later it was an almost new 16.
In October another lighter used 14.
Im not sure what my next Becker will be, but for now Ill entertain myself with modding a couple of these and see what happens after that.
With the exception of those of the 14s, the above are the sellers pics. I'm not sure if that matters, but thought it was worth mentioning.
I havent had a chance to take a group picture, but I will.
Thanks for having me.
