Ahh, that's right. You're so smart Jeff. Makes up for your looks and personality.
Matthews: What's the matter Danny? Something you don't like?
McKnight: No Spectre gunships, daylight instead of night, late afternoon when they're all f***ed up on Khat, only part of the city Aidid can mount a serious counter-attack on short notice...
[chuckles]
McKnight: What's not to like?
Harell: Life's imperfect.
McKnight: Yeah, for you two, circling above it at five hundred feet it's imperfect. Down in the street, it's unforgiving.

the bk-2 is over 20 yrs old, i think closer to 30 so it's been around the block. plus for me i prefer the bk-2 because there's no smaller knife yet. the neckers don't count since they're too small to be a really do-it-all knife for me in a survival situation. if becker had an esee-4 version then that's probably what my favorite would be.
too funny!
i'm probably one of those changing their minds when the 'tweeners are released.
ditto on price.
also, i think a more fair comparison to the bk-2 is the izula...not in technical capabilities obviously but more along the lines that both knives have become their respective makers' company mascot so to speak.
it's like pavlov's dog syndrome, i hear becker and i immediately think bk-2...whereas with esee i think of izula, then 2nd place is no b.s. warranty.
as for becker vs. esee...i noticed a lot of esee folks gravitate towards collecting all the esee knives (lots of posts here with the whole esee line up laid out) whereas becker folks tend to have a wider range of knife brands.
edit: can't believe this thread is already 4 pages long and not a single knife pic...shame on everyone involved! here's my current preferred line up...as you can see i'm an equal opportunity fanboy

I own Beckers, ESEE's, moras, FBF's, Gerbers, Cold Steels, Kershaw, Opinels and many more. I just like knives. I like Beckers more though, mainly because they are the most knife for the money on the market.

Yes we are proud of the cult we have cultivated.

with me i think, $200...hmmm...that's a lot of lap dances
Well I for one am an ugly cuss - does that mean I have to sell all of my ESEE's and buy Beckers instead??? (and kick myself out of the Rat Pack???)...

And if you wear your ESEE shirt and you don't have to pay at all.
Or have your RAT pack card and present it at participating strip clubs. Did I mention that the RAT pack card also entitles you to free refills on coffee at the Waffle House?

Yeah, you just swipe your card at the club.
As for Waffle House, even if it does, Im not willing to risk it. Besides the amount of ammo Id expend plus wear and tear on my Kevlar could buy a lot of coffee.
Coming soon to an ESEE dealer near you!
Does it taste like San Pedro?
