Why not a BK115?

Hi All,

I'm new here at Beckers Knives after buying my first Becker at a gunshow a few weeks ago. After looking at over 100 knives that day, I had to go back and get the one that was just calling to me which was a BK11 that I saw in the first 15 minutes of being there. I was looking for a new field deer knife and the BK11 looked and felt perfect for the job. The short handle was just right for me since I use my index finger close to the tip for control. My deer hunting was done for the year when I bought the knife so I didn't get to use it for the intended purpose yet but I know it will work just fine. I have just ordered a BK16 to complement the BK11 and in the near future I plan on getting a 5 & 15 soon after. But looking into the near future as my grandboys and grandgirls get closer to scouting and camping age I'm thinking that a BK11 handled knife with a 5/15 style blade would be great for that purpose, plus I think it would make a great small game/ general purpose knife that I wouldn't mind carrying.

Chuck,

You're not alone there, though I'd prefer the 14 style handle over the bottle opener 11 style, I also think a BK5/15 style blade scaled to a smaller knife would be a good seller, I know I'd buy it!

There are a couple threads where some folks have exercised their computer graphics abilities to render fantasy Becker's that haven't been built... yet. Check out the threads:

and

for some fun ideas.

sounds like a great idea.
 
Erik,

Checked out the links you provided, the Magnum Necker is just what I had in mind. I also got a kick out of the Becker Butter Knife, what man wouldn't like to butter his toast with that, or is that biscuits.

A Magnum Necker. I like it. I'd buy two of those right off the bat.
