The obvious answer to this question is going to be things like
"I do an 11, or 14, what are you getting at?"
The reason I ask, is because I'd like to see if there are you guys who, in your daily lives, carry a tweener, or something bigger, maybe going into a bit of detail what you do (occupation, or hobby) that you routinely use your Becker for.

I do happen to often EDC a 14, but that's only because it'd be a little weird (though thoroughly awesome) to edc a bk9, my only other Becker at this point.
Here's a crappy iPhone shot of my hobo zip tie belt rig, rightmost belt loop goes in between the zip ties.



Here's a wee little maple walking stick I peeled and whittled for my preschooler. :)



She helped me stack kindling in the shed, after it met the king...



So, how 'bout it guys? :)

Way to rub it in! On top of owning that beast, you throw up a Oscar winning review of the dang thing on YouTube!!
Sob story:
I was all set to get one at 40% off msrp, been having hang ups with gift cards, then bam!! Only 10% off msrp, can't afford it now, not with all the other closing out Becker awesomeness out there that I don't have yet...

You lucky dog! :)

(Oh yeah, do you use that for opening stuff at work, or just for cleaning your nails?) ;)

Nice!! Did you do that wrap job yourself?
Mine's crappy by comparison, its functional, but I'm afraid that I'd make it worse if I tried to re-do it. Tutorials and I don't often mix well. Alas.
I'm thinking about going micarta, or the add-on grivory.

 
Just got myself a bk11, thinking to modd it a little bit, I been looking for a nice G10 scales lately, but no luck at all ,I ended buying some micarta ones and the Kabar metal clip

I have lowered the belt loop down to where the fire steel loop is so it'll ride higher and concealed thou.

Thanks! Yes I did, its a double wrap, started with a base like yours then continued with the second layer as you see, all one solid cord.
 
Alright, I'll be the first to admit it.
I don't edc a Becker.
There, I said it.
And I've got like 3 of them, too.

Sadly, between legalities and lifestyle, the knives I would choose to carry regularly sit at home. There's the 11 and/or 24, but I'm not really a fan of neck carry. I need to find a pocket sheath (that I like) which would fit them well.

YES, very nice wrap job. I've tried to get mine to look half that good and failed. I finally told myself that if it looked too nice I'd never want to use the 550 cord in an "emergency," and would end up trying to braid some cord from roots because it was easier than replacing the handle on my BK11. Some folks would call this a quitter's attitude, but I call it pragmatism. ;)

Yeah, that's where I'm at. :P
I'm usually too busy watching testing and review videos (and top of that, watching my munchkin all day) to mod/play with my blades.

Oooh I like the lanyard on the 9!

To answer your question, I don't edc a becker. I do have my 11 though for anything that's not work. I am looking for a different purse though that might be able to accommodate more stuff. I do always have a leatherman wave.
