Any New Blade IDEAS ?

Thanks! But I was just agreeing with Cambertree. He’s the one that had the idea and posted the video.

How about that colab with Mr. Bill Siegle? Still waiting for this to be a production blade. Puts a smile on my face every time I use it! The 5160 has not disappointed me yet. Takes a beating

There’s one out there. I put a Becker handle on Beardlove’s Lambsplitter. He traded it to Widerstand at a BeckerWest. Haven’t heard from Widerstand for many moons...
I think I have pics somewhere. Let me look.
* Dang...looked through the old PhotoBucket stuff and couldn’t find it. I know I have it on a thumb drive somewhere...

That's a great one, and I'm very glad it exists. But the Bundock pretty much filled that niche when available.

Oh God....I can't stand up at my desk now, at work!!!
 
I just can't stop thinking about a bird and trout. I like the esee cr2.5 but would like a 3" blade and slightly longer handles. Ethan what do you have in store for us next?? Give us a clue!

Have you looked in the exchange...?

The ESEE one is cute but tiiiny and thick for the rest of its dimensions.

I thought about trying one out but I decided I'd rather save up for a GEC #29 right now. I really liked the bird and trout that you made a month or so ago. I think it had osange scales black liners? That was a sweet little knife
 
Non thumb ramp BK7, a 7" and 9" version of the BK2 as usual.

Would say a non thumb ramp version of the BK 10 or a thinner version of the BK2 like the BK10 but people would say the more mini BKs cover that even the bigger knife would be more multi-toolish like the BK2 and BK10 are.

A BK SPORK to go with the tweeners.

Oak, it was.
Love my two GEC blades. If only they'd make 'em in AEB-L... for some reason the trad people are in love with 440C, which is a lousy steel for a small fine-edged blade.

I like Roguer's configuration. Pretty easy to de-ramp and/or re-profile a BK10, tho. Probably doesn't warrant an entirely new model number and production change.

My ideal next Becker would be something in the BK-14 size range with a bit LESS blade.

I actually do not care for 440C. I had one GEC in that steel and I moved it. It didn't take as fine an edge as their 1095 and it wasn't fun to sharpen.

Now their 1095 is just excellent. But I agree with you, it would be nice to see GEC use steels like AEB-L or even D2. However, they seem to be of the belief, "Why fix something that's not broke?".

They do pretty well regardless.

More towards the OP topic, I have been wondering lately what might be on the idea table... I'm hoping Ethan has some ideas cooking. I wouldn't mind seeing an expansion of a more traditional line of Becker knives, something started by the Kephart. A proper Hudson Bay, a Nessmuk, old English and French trade knives, etc.

That would rule.

Yes, but not a $200 one...
I'd love a big, thinner camp/kitchen knife... whether it's a French chef's knife...or a cleaver, idk?
But something that would compliment my Spatula... :D

Yea, unfortunately when ever Batman steel is used you got to pay to play :D and the funny thing someone once said , hey 1095 just works :thumbsup: and someday we will all realize that :p
But I got to say the BK98 was well worth the price :thumbsup: Excellent Kitchen Knife :) and it's a very sturdy blade even though it's thin that could be used for outdoor stuff too :thumbsup::thumbsup:
