Boulder here. (Near Denver.) Pueblo is fairly far, but if we end up traveling to each others ends of Colorado, maybe that would work.

Sounds like you need to meet up in the Springs...Garden of the Gods, perhaps...or somewhere in the Black Forest.
Garden of the Gods is OK but they paved the whole dang thing. Kinda yuppie touristy.

"Hey mom, dad, is it OK that I meet with a stranger I know from the interwebs?"
*Sure hon, what are you going to do?*
"I'm not sure yet mom, but he told me he'd bring a bunch of large knives."
I'd love to hear that conversation

I'm assuming he's an adult but I suppose that that may not be the case.

I thought he was 13 or 14 yo
Honestly, I have no idea. It never even crossed my mind.
If your are under 18 dude, then the offer is void. Kinda a moot point since I'm not going to Boulder.

13 here. I could meet on a camping/driving trip with parents, as they would be driving anyway.

Funny enough, I totally freaked out my wife when I told her I was taking our girls to the Northeast Gathering. "It's no big deal, just a bunch of strangers I met on the internet who we'll be camping out with for the weekend." "Oh yeah, there'll be knives. LOTS of knives." I thought for a moment she would call CFS."Hey mom, dad, is it OK that I meet with a stranger I know from the interwebs?"

That would be very helpful!
In your situation, I would personally opt for the 2 over the 10. The 2 blades are very similar, apart from thickness. You have a blade with similar thickness in the 17, but you don't have a 0.25" thick tank like the BK2.
Though I'd also consider the BK4..... I almost think you have to have a 2. It remains my favorite batoning knife.

I do have a Swamp Rat Battle Rat. It has a 9.5 inch blade and is 1/4 inch thick. I think I'll get Beckers in this order:
BK9
BK13
BK10
BK2
BK7
BK?
BK9
BK13
BK10
BK2
BK7

So for my next haul of Beckers, I'll be getting a 9 and 2 13s. I also want either a 7, or a 10. Right now I'm leaning toward the 10, but the 7 keeps looking at me...
Would the 7 be too similar the 9? I can get the 7 for $67 or the 5 for $73. Which should I go for?

The 7 is probably closer to the 10. The weight and balance to me doesn't feel too different from the 10 but still has enough uniqueness to earn it's keep.
