I have a Becker BK2 up for trade. I received this a bit ago in new condition. It was used on one trip, most on some carving/whittling type work and just a small bit of batoning (2 to 4 inch pieces). It did a a great job - However, it's just too big for what I would intend to use it for.
When I originally received the knife, it sported a brilliant mirror finish and maroon scales. After using the knife for the first (and only) time, the mirror finish was marred in spots along the blade and the micarta became pretty dark from use. It was also pretty dull out of box. I intended to keep the knife which is why it now has a patina on the blade. The knife has been resharpened, convex, and the micarta was cleaned up via an old toothbrush and soapy water. Some parts of the micarta are still dark even after a thorough cleaning. This is merely cosmetic and won't affect the performance at all. After looking at the stock picture, it seems as if the dark spots are normal even when brand new. I think cleaning the scales brought those spots out more. The knife will come with the standard sheath and box.
The pictures make the micarta look more brown then they actually are in real life (to me at least
). While they don't scream red to me, they definitely aren't brown.
While I'm sure 99 percent of you guys already know what the BK2 is all about
, here's some specs...
1095 High Carbon Steel CRO-VAN Blade.
57-58 RC blade hardness
BLADE LENGTH: 5-1/2"
OVERALL LENGTH: 10-1/2"
WEIGHT: 1.0lb.
Handle: MAROON MICARTA
Sheath: FACTORY STANDARD.

I'm looking for other small fixed blades. Anything up to around 4 inches would be perfect. Specifically, I'm looking for a Bark River Woodland Special. Anything similar would be sweet! Fastest way to contact me is through email or PM. I'd also be interested axes.
Here's a link to all the pictures I have...http://s559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/tenordrumr/Becker/
Asking 70 shipped, USPS Priority. First "I'll take it" in this thread has priority - please follow up with an email in case there is a trade possibility.
Thanks!
