why do the heavy duty bk knives come with such slippery handles?

One time I gave a small, weak child a bk2 and sent his dumb ass off to process firewood for the week. The little SOB then let it fly 2,598 feet (1 mile) out of his hand and it hit me square in the temple. I lift weights all day long and my hands are so calloused, I was luckily able to attach a segment of duct tape to wrap the brats hand around the one pound death machine of the bk2. Next I made sure to lecture the kid on credit card use because hey let's face it, 7000000000000% of camping/hunting/outdoor accidents are caused by these maniac children that buy prepaid cards at Walmart and decide to buy sharp, heavy, "slippery" knives online instead of candy and action figures. My immediate next step was to join a message board of the enthusiasts of this brand of publicly unsafe knife, and explain how they aren't using them right. None of these members have children I assume. Then I went to poop and pee. Before I knew it, they were defending this greedy banker bailout super duper rich guy that designed this horrible thing that countless people love and then they were standing up for this company that supplied the main carry knife for soldiers in several wars. Then I peed and pooped again and watched a YouTube video about a guy that peed and pooped. Then I woke up from this awful dream where I realized i haven't used the knife very much, but I still hate so much. Then I used it and loved it.

All the guys at the forum I offended, I said hey ya'll it was just my opinion before I got to know her. I named her becca and she never slips or hits me in the head. Then we all became friends and had great conversations for a long time.

I love my new friends and I think they forgive me.

I still think (secretly) that Ethan is greedy and caused my head flying knife stab.

But there's one thing he can't buy with all that money.

A dinosaur!


We should all be cooler. The OP might have been a very legitimate question. We all jumped on him like assholes in a gang, and that might have put him on the defensive. We all love beckers (if you don't, then you're in the wrong place). I'm a nobody but I love this forum and love Becker knives. I hope we all support
The freedom of speech too (including opinions we don't agree with). That's exactly what freedom of speech means.

Regardless, you're in the absolute wrong place if you think Ethan is greedy.

Trolls can burn tho. And then pee and poop.

I'm curious, has anyone here ever had a Becker knife, or heard of a Becker knife flying out the hand? I've been wondering how common this might happen, if ever? I'm also wondering if anyone has heard of a hand slipping up onto the blade, past the guard, like while stabbing or something?

The only time I've had a Becker leave my hand while in use was when I deliberately threw it. Yes, I know - not something recommended for a high Rc knife, but hey, I was bored. :D:D.

Your logic is absurd, and shows just how little you actually use a knife if any at all. My hands are heavily calloused from 8 years worth of construction work. I will still get blisters sometimes even under my callouss from hot spots on a poor handle. Those are the worst as it's hard to even pop a blister underneath a large callous.

someone that lifts a lot, and say, does crossfit, is pretty used to a few things...

one of them is using a pumice stone to keep had callous down. required for rowers. otherwise, they build up, dry out, crack, and bleed...

and the next step: you're in the middle of a righteous set, 350 lb deadlifts, for time, and you RIP YOUR CALLOUSES RIGHT OFF

yeah. that feels good.

human flesh has limits. hotspot proof? nope

i stabbed as hard as I could into a stump, with thick gloves, an had minimal slippage but still no injury. Never had to test chopping because I do it a lot, in the rain, and never had a reason to test. I still love tests tho. Thanks dude. I hope more members will share.
 
Dead on!

A torn off callous is like, actually nevermind. I hate thinking about it. I'm so glad I'm not the only one that's had that happen tho.

id rather chew and swallow a live wasps nest. Covered in poopy glass and hot sauce any day.

Ah man bro. Did yours tear out all the surrounding skin too? Mine came off in a kind of "ripped" patten. Went like an inch up my pointer finger in a thin strip and then a circular tear around my palm.

I bought a 60$ pair of work gloves as soon as I could hold a cold beer again.

It was like grabbing a wire wheel at full speed.

Hope yours wasn't too bad bro. Also hope i didn't bring it back for you with my description, as soon as I read your words I immediately looked at my hand and it almost hurt again.

You're not alone!
 
Same is true in rock climbing. It's best to keep callouses sanded down; otherwise, you get "flappers," or callouses that get ripped off and flap around. Flap, flap.
 
Is this the callous thread? Ok....... I'll give you my two sense on the subject since people are interested.

Well, first off I am a guitar player and have built up some very nice callouses on my fingers from playing for over 21 years now. But I have had hiatuses for weeks at a time or when my kid was born, I took off a few months. And let me tell you, my fingers did hurt after an hour or so of playing. I can usually go about 8 hours a day with no problems.

And since I taught guitar for many years to children who had no callouses, they complained after just a few minutes of playing the strings for the first few weeks at least.

So calluses are very important when used in the proper way. But if you do not maintain them, it may be a disaster for sure.

Speaking of disaster...... That's what this thread is no doub.

So to continue this train wreck and spread some knowledge from more of my personal experences, I will tell you about my other callouses.

Most of you know that I prefer to go barefooted. That's right. Can't stand shoes. So my feet are used to walking on the ass-fault and on rocks, pretty hot ones I may add here in the Texas sumers, and well, they develop very nice calloues.

But every once in a while if not maintained, they do in fact crack and can bleed. That sucks big time. Then it's time to bring out the 80grit or the dremmel sanding drums and start sanding away.

Nothing feels better than walking around on freshly sanded feet calloues. I can attest to that.

I can provide proof and pictures if needed, but I would hate to high jack the op's thread and possibly lead it off topic.
 
I have the odd callous, unfortunately from none of the activities outlined above. 😯

I think feet pics is exactly what this thread needs. Be warned though. You might get some naughty PMs from the kinkier rabble.
 
I have a callous.....wait one of them other things.....yeah, a wart. Probably 'cause I handle toads 25 hours a day. I'm pretty sure I'm the top toad wrangler in the state. This thread needs a picture, at least. uploadfromtaptalk1435406476952.jpg
