Was reading on one of the various forums that Becker Knife and Tool (BK&T) has been experiencing labor troubles for the last six months and that perhaps their time as a viable business entity are coming to a close. There has also been noise that some of their products are getting hard to find. This sucks because I’ve been wanting some of their well regarded sheath knives. Specifically, their BK7 and their TacTool Their sheaths, as I read it, are utter crap but the company figures youre looking for a knife, not a sheath, and they sink the money into the knife figuring you’ll just buy an aftermarket sheath anyway. Good logic, I think.
So, now I gotta keep my eyes open and track down a few of these things and get them while I still can.
Probably pair it off with one of these.

Local fuel prices are now around $2.23 for regular unleaded. Hard to believe it was about $0.80 more than that just a couple months ago.

Tomorrow is election day. I normally dont do politics here because thats not what this space is about. My interest in politics, at least in this forum, is about how the elections will affect things I’m working on. Most of my goodies, with the exception of the gun stuff, is fairly unregulated by the feds but that gun stuff is a big part of things. Thus, I need to sock away all sortsa gun goodies before the 2008 election. If youre smart, you’ll do the same…
I have several beckers, and they are unbeleivable performers for the price.
Granted the sheath isn’t great, but it isn’t bad, not by a long shot. I’ve beat the heck out of mine, and it still works well.
you can get a lot of mileage out of reforming the kydex sleeve in the sheath, just pull it out and use a heat gun or hairdryer, then re-glue it back in.
A small caveat, if that spec ops sheath is the same flavor that comes with the rat-7 (which is another tremendous knife, btw) its too narrow to fit the CU/7.
may want to be certain it will fit before investing.
BK7 is a great blade. The sheath is OK.
Unrelated, but..
Wally world has their halloween light sticks on sale for 1/2 off, which brings them down to .44.
I grabbed a bunch last night.
Re: Unrelated, but..
Thanks for the tip. Is that in the closeout aisle or ????
Re: Unrelated, but..
Yeah, they were mixed in with the halloween candy and decorations that were on sale.
