What was your first Becker and when did you get it?

Around 2012 I was looking for a rocket stove to use on Boy Scout campouts with my son. Sometimes there wasn't much firewood, or ground fires allowed on these campouts, so a stove that burned sticks and twigs would be a good workaround. I ended up searching on Youtube, and came across a video with a Deadwood Stove. The guy in the video was splitting wood with a BK2 and talking it up. I was impressed so I ordered both the knife and the stove.

After getting the BK2, I couldn't stop. I already had a bunch of "pretty knives", but didn't have knives that I could beat half to death and actually not feel guilty about them getting all scratched up. Hell, everybody knows heavy use makes a Becker knife better, right?

Anyway, I subsequently purchased a 5 for camping, then a 15, then a 9 (my favorite), and finally an 18.

First Becker was the 9.
Then a 16.
Then the 7.
Then another 9.
And another 7.
And another 16.
Then a 10.
Then a 2.
Then another 16.
Micarta upgrades for all.
Also five Azwelke sheaths in different flavors.

I use the 16 the most by far, followed by the 9.
I would not mind another 10 one day.

Fun knives to use, and the BeckerHead crew is a bonus.

*Side note: The stock BK16 sheath fits the Mora Filet knife perfectly. I use this knife in tandem with the 16 quite often for butchering and of course on fish.

Hey! I'm New Here! Much Love from Puerto Rico! My first and only Becker is The Bk11! Bought it in 2019 when I moved to Odessa TX, had to move because Hurricane Maria had caused so much damage in 2017 in Puerto Rico that even 2 years later you barely could find a job! So long story short, I love this Knife! It has been with me almost every day since I bought it! Started carrying it as a neck knife and then I got the Urge to leather craft so bought a piece of leather and as soon as I got home and put the leather on the table God took control of me and started marking and cutting and 4 days later (don't worry it wasn't 4 days straight) the PortalWalker bag was Born! So now I carry all my essentials in this bag that God made through me ❤
Moved back to Puerto Rico and I spend all the time possible outside in the Rivers/Jungle like habitats! Barefoot and with my Bk11! LIFE IS GOOD! (Yesterday I got the Handles so now my baby has Grips hehehe)

My first Becker was a Bk3 that I’d gotten for my son. He was deploying to Iraq or Afghanistan I forget which. He eventually carried it to both countries multiple times. My second BK was the King and that was 15-20 Becker’s ago

What a coincidence, The first Becker I ever bought was a Camillus BK 3 for my brother when he deployed overseas, (USMC).
He wasn't nice to it, I can only assume he used it to chip concrete, he gave to me when he got back.
Like I posted earlier my first was a BK 9.

Lol Same Same. My son gave the Bk3 back to me. Oh my!!!! It had definitely busted open its share of ammo crates amongst other things before a gun truck ran it over.

Welcome to the right place
 
BK-10 Crewman in Desert Tan. I bought it from the now defunct old Brigade Quartermaster out of GA. Great place to do business; I was sorry to see them go. It had to be sometime before 2009 when they got sold off.

Only pic I got of it:
