So with the new Beckers coming out. What will be your ideal setup as far as a duo or trio for woods. I am thinking about the BK7, BK16 and BK14... What about you?
 
This is my plan for spring camping: BK4, BK10, BK15

Knowing me, the 14 and 7 may sneak in for fun.
 
I really want to try out the Machax. I am sure that will get some carry time for me. It will take a lot to get the comfortability I have with the 10 to knock that out of my rotation. I will get a new coated BK2 however.

The tweeners? I gotta have em all. I will plagiarize Bladites idea for the 15 and replace my steak knifes with :D

I will have to see and try out the FFG for the 16, I am still somewhat quietly stomping my feet about it not being Saber Grind.

The 17 is really growing on me a lot!

So the 10 for sure. BK4, 17/16 would be a good setup. My current camp carry would be a 10 with a ESEE3/CRK Nayla with a BK5 chaser. :D
I EDC small pocket knife (CRK) for Suit days (almost every day sadly), I EDC fixed blades on jeans days (BK11/Nayla get the most carry time).
 
No joke, the next time I go camping, I'm taking all of my Beckers. I'll probably only carry a couple at a time, but they all need a workout.
 
MY woods setup will one of two ways depending on how i feel that day. phase one will be a machax, my kfu wide blade, and a slip joint that i feel like pocketing that day. OR phase two, which will probably be the go-to phase since i dont need to chop all that often, a bk5, thw wide blade, and a slippie. When the tweeners come out, the may just replace my wide blade, since ethan knows how to make a comfy handle.
 
Wow, Sounds like there are a few burly men who can carry a lot of weight 8). I like the combos guys! Why so much love for the 17?
 
I let my jeep carry the weight most of the time :p.

And why so much love for the 17? Because it looks amazing?

I also think the size is just about perfect. It will replace my Mora for most things I believe.
 
I am currently talking to Sky about a sheath for my 9 and 11 combo. SO mine would be a 4, 9, 11, and I like the 15!! I want my MACHAX bad. Sorry had to put that in!!
 
BK5, bearded hatchet, and The Mouse Whisperer.
