Since a Becker brung me to this party, I thought I'd post my introduction here with the Beckerheads.
It's amazing how quickly your post count creeps up. I didn't anticipate spending as much time here as I have, but I've learned a lot. Now on the occasion of my 100th post, I thought I'd post the introduction I have yet to post.
I am not a huge knife guy. Not really into safe queens, although I do have a Lloyd Hale knife that was a gift. (Long story for another time perhaps). Gil Hibben lives close to us. We met when he'd come eat at our barbeque restaurant. I guess it was fate that I'd end up here eventually.
My knives have been purchased to use. I recently upgraded my goto large fixed blade with a BK7/13 combo. That led me to the Beckerheads here. I immediately became a fan of Mr. Becker and his interaction with the owners of his creations. My hat's off to you Sir.
Soon I found myself bartering with another member here for a big brother to the 7/13 combo. I am now very happy to have a bk4 as well. It has been a pleasure to use it around our property. Everything its fans say it is and more. Thanks Mr. Becker for a great tool. In the spirit of being prepared for anything, I might have it buried with me whenever that time comes. You know, just in case. lol.
Mr. Becker, if you are reading this, I have a question I don't think I've seen you address. Leaving the 9 out of this discussion, if you could only take either a BK4+BK13 OR a BK7+BK13 into the woods with you, which would it be and why? By "into the woods", I mean considering all the tasks you will need from a knife from food prep to shelter to protection.
Is 100 posts before an official introduction any kind of record?
