Well, I have owned a BK14 for a few years now and it has been great. I have taken it on all sorts of adventures and it has never let me down. I found it when looking for a new knife to bring backpacking and it lived up to expectations as a backpacking knife and an EDC knife. Not too long after I bought a BK13 which left me underwhelmed. It has just sat in a survival kit as a spare blade. I then stumbled upon a good deal on a BK15 and being a hunter it seemed like a good field knife which it has been. I boned a whole elk out with it and another knife and it did great. It has been a great camping knife as well. So for about two years these have been my only Beckers.
I kept looking at the BK9 and almost pulled the trigger more than once but alas my knife hobby is hard to support and my addiction to other brands has got in the way. Lately I have slowed down on buying folders as I have way more than any sane person would want or need. Over the past month I had made my mind up to buy a BK9 and then all of a sudden the Bundok dropped. Whoa!!! Had to have it. What? It comes with a BK4. Sure! Wait. It comes with a BK5, the big brother to my BK15? Uh, Yeah, I'll take it. So here we are, now my Becker count has doubled and I finally have some full sized Beckers.
But wait, that cannot be enough. Can it? I was amazed by the BK20 and all but within a few swings I was smitten with the BK4. Where have you been all my life? After chewing up quite a few 2x4s with it I decided I could not live without a backup. Well, that was Monday and today is Friday and my "pre-need replacement" has arrived. Woot! Seven Beckers and counting. Whoa, that happened fast!
I officially have the Beckeritis. There is no hope for me now. Now I need a BK9, a BK16 and a BK21. Oh boy!
