Hi crew, I haven't posted here in many years but I came across something and I have questions.
I recently purchased a Becker Machax. Looks like it's from the Cincinnati era, phosphate coated, full 1/4 inch thickness from end to end.
However, the handles are not the black fiber plastic I've seen before. These are nonremovable wood (walnut?) with 6 brass pins. There is a tiny inscription on the blade flat near the handle the looks like "BK&T" and under that says #15.
It came with a beautiful black leather sheath that uses paracord to secure the knife in the sheath. The paracord ties to a leather buckle that snaps on the front of the sheath.
Any idea how early this might be? Maybe #15 from the first batch?
