Which Becker was your first?

[Plainsman]

Which Becker did you obtain first?

Mine was the Brute BK-1. I wanted a large knife and I wanted a kukri. When I laid eyes on the Brute it was like a match made in steel! LOL!

How about yours?

The BK2, the Becker Gateway addiction knife.

And I wanted/needed around a 5 inch heavy, use abuse knife. BK2 was the most affordable and it works great for what I use it for. Some times you do need the shorter blade for heavy use tasks.

Yup, the BK2 here. I was Googling survival knives, and the 2 kept coming up. Liked the looks of it, and made the purchase. Researching it led me to this forum.

Happens to all the great ones, and we just proved it, haha.

Im surprised the BK-2 is the gateway for so many!
I didnt get a BK-2 til recently, then I ended up with two in short order.

Let me think about what I had prior and if I can remember the order:
BK-1, 9, 11, 7, 4, 14, 13, 16, 18, 21, 62, then a 2, 19, 40, 41.

The Campanion just wasnt a high priority for me.

BK10. Fits my preference for a do it all survival knife and sits "at the ready" in new condition.

 

[GeofS]

2 followed by the 7 for me.

 

[mrn8]

BK9....never did the 2.

I’m not positive but I believe the Becker-Reinhart Kukri was my first. The Blackjack made one. Helluva knife! I once cut through the equivalent of a fresh 1X6 pine with one swipe!!! I used that blade a lot logging with my Dad and around the sawmill In a moment of stupid it got sold off. Now I have several BK21s to remedy that regret!!!!

 

[pease]

BK2 was my first also I needed a cheap knife for chopping frozen chicken for crab bate. I got it used for 50 bucks and I think the BK5 was next.

Bk-10 was my gateway. But I have quite a few now. I really like everyone I have. I was really happy when I was able to fix the uneven grind on my Bk-2 and then make it hair popping sharp. I put a choil on my 7 & 9 and some jimping on some others. I like wide blades, which is why I bought the 10. It's a great all rounder.

My 1st 2:



Later turned into this:

 

[daizee]

Camillus BK-11 in D2!
I still have one of them.

I can't remember if the BK5 or the BK15 was my first Becker (they were the first 2 whichever order they were bought) ... but they are still my favorite Beckers.

I really wish they would reissue the 5 and 15. I'd buy them both right away.

Agree entirely on the BK10
