Too many Beckers?

So, I have a Camillus BK10 Crewman. I just got a KA-BAR BK9 for Christmas and I recently bought myself a BK11 Necker. My auction for a Cold Steel UWK just ended so now I have enough to buy myself a BK7. However, everyone I talk to and tell that I am essentially buying all of the Beckers look at me like I am crazy. Even "knife people" like my brother who have way more sharp things than I could dream of owning think I am positively bonkers for owning so much of the same thing. To me, it is simple. I have found a knife that I like and am comfortable with. Why not own and carry as much of it as possible? Why mix and match when one line has essentially all of my basses covered. From chopper, to combat, to small EDC to survival, the BK10, 9, 7 and 11 has it all. And to top it off, I can swap out handles if one ever breaks or I decide to pop for the $40 micarta scales that KA-BAR offers. Am I flawed in my logic of thinking that you can't own too much of a good thing?
 
There are plenty of people who have duplicates of the same Becker...so you're not even close to have too many!
Ignore the dissenters and plow ahead with your Becker accumulation.
 
You tell me.

I have admittedly thinned the herd some. Still have a lot of spares.

I have keepers of every model that aren't going anywhere though.

I need them to tell time. :p

It's too bad I didn't get this model into the group pic. Maybe I'll Photochop it in. :p

Truly a nice little gem, and I once again thank the two folks who got it into my hands. :thumbup:

I ... I ... I'm not sure how anyone could think like this. Own too many Becker's? Surely not! This poor, misguided soul needs to be gently and lovingly brought into the the light and shown the true way. He obviously just needs firm guidance, and needs to learn to chant the mantra "buy Becker's, buy Becker's, buy Becker's" morning, noon and night.

There are so many of us less fortunate who would have even more Becker's if we could, that to hear a blasphemous phrase like "have too many Becker's" makes us so sad and despondent we're liable to do something drastic like eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to cheer ourselves up.

Too many Becker's, indeed.

I'm holding off on the BK2 because I feel that my BK10 fills its role nicely. I'm actually not a fan of the BK5 all that much. I see its appeal and it looks like a great knife, but it just isn't for me... kind of like the BK3.
 
since BF has a limit on images per single post, and formatting is hard...

behold my primitive Gimp skills (please sit down first):

Nice pics fellas. My buddy in Wisconsin just broke his tactool. Ka-bar is taking care of him. It broke at the gut hook. He had been battoning with it all winter. I was surprised to hear he broke it. 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Buy extras. :D
