What did you do to/with your Becker today?

Used my 5 to cut up a bunch of meat for our cat. I cut it in small bits, dividing everything over different bags for the freezer.
The old man came along and asked quite sarcastically: "Why don't you get your sword to cut up that meat? That knife looks a little small, don't you think?"
He was referring to my BK9 and obviously thought the 5 was a bit big for the task. Maybe he's right, but hey, I had fun :)
 
Carved the grip on my Steyr LP10E for a perfect fit.
Bk11 performed nicely.

Then I carved a staircase out of an oak for a ten story building.
Used the King, just laid it by the base of the tree and it got the
job done..
 
I used my bk15 to slice a banana for my cereal. Bk15 lives in my kitchen.
 
hacked up some roots and cleaned out a garden plot with my Bk5. This thing is surprisingly handy at practically....EVERYTHING
 
Took my Beckers out in the "snow" to play... cut up some wood, took some pics and did a completely unscientific, just for fun, cutting comparison. Ten short whacks each knife, BK2, BK5, and the 1211.


 
Unboxed my new BK10 and fondled a bit. Compared it to the 2 and began contemplating what mods I'll do.
 
Today my 7 decided to bid on a beater friend...he won and as soon as next week we'll be doing some mods to said beater 7...

Clams sound so AMAZING! One bad thing about living in east Texas, all my seafood is of the Cajun variety, no New England style here.

I took out all my Beckers and eagerly awaited the arrival do my 11 and 16, I was going to use each one to open the box in a different way and give you guys a photo journal of the process...but, alas, it did not arrive today. :(
 
Took my 2 out on the frozen trails with me today.

Didn't have to use it, but it was comforting to know I had it with me.
 
My mother wanted a bunch of Mesquite branches for a floral arrangement so she sent me foraging. I went down to one of the overgrown pastures I have here on the farm.

Chopped a few smaller mesquites down with one of my 9s for fun. If this was work, I'd be using the chainsaw. These trees were about 2 inches in diameter, about the same as the width of a 9. Mesquite is a really hard wood. It took 50 to 60 hits to get through each one. Also, right now the sap is starting to rise and the wood is really bouncy when you hit it.
