First Becker: BK2
Next:
BK9 (won in contest)
BK11 (gifted by Whereismyclock)
Future:
Probably a BK16, although I'm still debating what I want my main 4 -4.5in belt knife to be.
Drooling over:
Most of the rest of them.
I'm a cheap grad student and literally have a hard time affording knives. My last purchase of a knife was December of last year. I also don't eat out, drink, or smoke so I can't even stop doing those to save up money

Current Beckers-
BK7
BK11
BK14
First-
BK11
Then a Seven a few months later, and a 14 from the Ka-Bar booth at the 2012 NRA National Convention.
Customizations-
Spec-Ops basic sheath for the Seven, also the 7's stripped. The 11 has homemade denim micarta handles and the 14 has ESEE Izula Micarta.
Next-
A 17 or possibly a Nine.
Side notes- The BK2 owned by my father got me into the line. It was never mine, I just fell in love with it and had to order an 11 for myself.

Camillus BK7 first. When the company and its warranty went down I bought a Kabar BK7 including a Remore. The Camillus became a modified safequeen, the remora is sold. Im swinging and using that Kabar BK7…its my only 4+ inch user blade!
I might score a Brute when its returns’ and even a BK16 when I’m in the market.

Haven't gotten rid of any of mine, so here's the order, grouped by purchase:
BK-2
BK-11
BK-9
BK-5
BK-14
BK-4
BK-15
BK-16
BK-14
The only one in its original sheath is the BK-4, I haven't gotten around to making one for it yet.
Wife took the 11. One 14 is way oversharpened, so I got a new one. The old one has a cord wrap handle and lives in my murse.
Bought zytel handle slabs for the 14, but overtorqued the black ones with stainless bolts. Just got a set of micarta handle slabs for the Izula that I've placed on the 14. They have a very different feel than the zytel. Not sure If I prefer the fuller zytel handle.

My Beckers, in order of acquisition:
BK2
BK9 (came with BK13)
BK11 (gave to the wife)
BK14 (traded for a folder)
BK4
BK15
I didn't care for the necker or the eskabar, my hand is just too large. My BK4 and BK15 get the most use, followed by the BK2. All in stock sheaths (some modified), but I see some leather in my future starting with the BK15 and the Machax.
