The suggestion box

I'd like to see a 11 with a clip point and a 4 finger handle:)
 
BK11/14 size blade with tweener handle

BK16 style blade the size of a BK12

A new line of Becker kitchen knives.
Something stainless is ok or something in carbon steel like Old Hickory's
Certainly this would be a limited run.

Hawk/hatchet would be cool but I'm not sure if that's Ethan's "thang"

BK18 - 8"-bladed BK20 design, same 0.5" stock.

This, absolutely. Though wouldn't it be called a bk8? Hell, whatever it's called, I'd buy one. Love my 20, but something between the 7 and 9, with the 20's design would be excellent.
 
Hmmm. It's getting closer to Christmas. I'd like to see this in the stocking.

If you read Ethan's recent note about being able to handle a original Kephart, perhaps the wish list could include his interpretation of it, Becker-style.

The thought of a 1/8" "Beckhart" full convex (in D2, please please please, but 1095 would do very well) would be quite nice and a fitting tribute. The weight and balance would be amazing. Is this the next BK18 "tweener."

That would be awesome!
Another thing...he pointed out the feel and fit in hand.
Makes me think about folks who have problems with the tweener handles. Maybe a whole new style Becker between the tweener and full size. No clue what it was be nicknamed though...
Why do you call something that's fits between a tweener and full size?
 
How bout a 16 blade and a 11 handle. Dont need some fancy stainless, a simple m4 or 3v will do just fine.
 
I'm suddenly dreaming of a 21 size Machax.

Add 1/2", maybe even 3/4", to the tweener handle length.

This can be done fairly easily if you're industrious and have access to a grinder....or are VERY industrious and are willing to buy a diamond file. Grinding off the guard and smoothing out the transition gets you at least a ½" on the Tweeners, as well as the 11/14/24's.....

I would like some G10 scales for my bk11, that'll add more flavor, love my 11 but some colorful scales would be perfect.

LOTS of places have G-10 in just about any color you like. Granted, you'd have to make them yourself - but then you'd have your very own personal one-off exactly the way you want it

7 inch drop point.
3/16 bk2.

I know you've seen/held/played with a BK12.....OK, yeah. It's a little shy of 7". Moving on....
Camillus 2 is a shade over 3/16" - not quite 5/32" - and no tang cutouts!

But....but....what's wrong with the 21?!? Hank and Ethan totally nailed that design, if you ask me. Hits like a freight train, quick....the Machax is a joy to use in its own right - I love it for woods bumming specifically because it's lighter and more versatile than a lot of other knives in its size range. IMO making it bigger wouldn't make it better - and the RBK (in my incredibly biased opinion) just kills it in that size range and price point.
 
Bk24 with Izula II handle size! I like my BK24 alot but that little extra handle would make it a close to perfect EDC.
