Dear Beckerheads...
I don't know where to start, really. I suppose it started somewhere in 2012. A small fixed blade, that's what I wanted.
Now it's 2014, and a couple of fixed blades is what I've got. All of them are Beckers, except for one. All of them, I've enjoyed. And then there's you guys. Entertaining, but also a great source of information. There's laughter, sadness, we share lot's of stories and that's a good thing. What pops out for me is the comradery. Sure there is some teasing here and there, but in the end, people over here really help each other out. I admire that. I've been baffled a lot by the kindness in this little place on the big old interwebs.
It started with a small fixed blade 2 years ago, which ended up being the BK14, and I can't really grasp the quantity of things I've ended up with until now. More blades, e-friends (if that's a thing, but I believe it is), good times...
Almost two months ago I started with my first job too. So now that I've got the $$, it's time to give back to you guys.
What would be a better knife to give away than the one that started this journey for me(the BK14)? For me, there's couldn't be a better one. That's thé symbolic BK&T knife for me. It's the one that started it all for me, the one that gets used most, even today. That's the one I want some of you guys out there to enjoy.
RULES
1. Entries are open for BECKERHEADS & ASPIRING Beckerheads. If you belong to the last category, please do participate. I've been one of you as well and you guys contribute a lot of stuff here, too! I'll know it if you post at the BK&T subforum, or have posted here before in some quantity.
2. ONE entry per person
3. Open WORLDWIDE
4. Must own a BK&T knife, you'll need it for the contest. I don't care if you already have a BK14 or even multiple. Here's your chance to win another one.
5. Contest will run 2 to 3 weeks. I'll see when it starts to slow down. I will update with a notice when I'll be about to close the contest.
6. A random number generator will be used to pick the winner.
7. Keep chatting to a minimum. I'd have a lot of work with the random number generator otherwise
WHAT DO I WANT YOU TO DO
1. Have fun. Do something with a Becker knife. Cook something. Make something. Fix something. Be it indoors or outdoors, I don't care. Don't hurt something or someone for the sole purpose of this contest though.
2. Do n°1 with a BK&T knife of your choice.
3. Take at least 3 (THREE) pictures of what you're doing and post them in this thread. Tell your fellow knife enthousiast what you were doing in the pics.
4. They have to be new pics. Nothing you've done yesterday or before that. Do something after this thread gets posted.
Well, that's about it. What are you still doing there reading this?
Here's my 14, the one that started it all, next to a cup of pineneedle tea (not pee). This knife is not the prize though!
The one you'll receive will probably be a brand spanking new (laser etched/tougher coating) BK14. The knife will be sent from an online retailer, based in the US. I have already made my preparations for that.
Have at it ;-)
