What folders are the Beckerheads carrying?

[GeofS]

I dig the Bareknuckle a lot! It is engineered very well. Sometimes I prefer light and nimble over built like a tank. Carry it some.

I think ill enjoy it once i carry it for awhile. Its going to be a few weeks before i switch it up though.

Thirsty weather this weekend

Buck 110 Slim Select. It's good quality, tough, American made and reasonably priced - the sort of thing I'd look for in a folding Becker.

 

[SALTY]

My favorite is the AD-10, just really like that knife and the ergos work like the thing was made for my hand.

I just picked up a DPx HEST 2.0 Triple Black which may be my "smaller" knife for a while.

For sheer utility, I like the Cold Steel Recon 1 or a Voyager.

I rotate between a Byrd Cara Cara Gen 1, a $15 Walmart closeout Kershaw RJ Tactical (it is anything BUT tactical), and an OD Benchmade Griptillian in D2. For EDC the Kershaw is my hands down favorite, with the Cara Cara a close 2nd, and bottom of the pack is the griptillian. I cannot abide tip up carry, and it doesn't "de-pocket" and open nearly as smoothly as the other 2, and if I was heading into the yonder, I'd grab the Griptillian, but for around the house edc do nothing, or do very little at all that would need awesome steel, great edge retention, etc., or one in a million % to have to actually be stabby to a baddy, the Kershaw is my buddy

Until I get my BK-40, I rotate between my Gerber Flatiron and my CRKT Pilar for folders. But I also carry my BK-18 quite a bit. I absolutely love that knife. Scout carry, strong side, handle forward. I added leather belt loops to the stock sheath. Works excellent.

Things made anywhere but China. I've got others, but my normal daily rotation includes Buck 110s, Spyderco Endura / PM3, Kershaw Link, etc. Pretty much all of them share pocket space with a Victrinox Huntsman.

I see I never replied to this…
I EDC a Benchmade Contego and a Victorinox OHT. I just noticed this weekend my OHT is really loosening up from use. Been carrying it since the “Trailmaster” came out.

I actually like the feel of the bk40. I just need to get off my butt and make a version with usa sourced steel.

I’m still carrying a Kershaw Leek, but moving forward, I’ll be keeping my ears open for any rumor of a US-made Becker folder. (I’d actually be open to outsourcing, just not to China)

It is a shame over the years we havnt gotten more/any sprint runs of the popular Beckers (bk16, bk11, bk2 etc) in different steels a with better properties than 50100b.

Same with the folder, the lackluster materials are a real shame. And this is coming from a hugggge Becker fan with many blades.

So far it does the trick for me, I like it a lot and a trick I learned it’s best to stick to a fixed blade for cleaning fish

Lol, I buy my fish cleaned
