Sitting here with one of your pre-KaBar, BK&T Reinhardt, Effingham kukris (stainless), watching this. Kool knowing you had your hands on this yourself at one point.

And here it is, 4-1-24 and I have my Becker-Reinhart Kukri which btw, is the best kukri I've "EVER" had!!! Thank you...❤

I, am definitely a fan of this man's work! "My" BK-21 will be here in a few... Wish I had it NOW!!! Great video too...

In years gone by, they did draw blood, but they stopped doing it before the ww1.. don't disrespect the gurkhas. That is a fact, told by them! The cho is the cows foot.

Went to highschool with Jason Moses who works at KaBar and he made the Bundok Bowie- BK20 which I have been chasing after one for a very long time but just can't seem to find one for sale at a reasonable price...

I actually have the Blackjack prototype BK2 never used or sharpened and a Camillus BK2 that is new too never used or sharpened and well ofcourse the kabar BK2 to round out the series/collection! I was born and raised here in Olean NY home of KaBar and Cutco knives....

Mr becker,a great personne. Tchuss, pierro.

RIP James 😇

Ethan Backer mentioned Bill Sigalls kukri type knife witch one I really like. can you please tall me where can I find it?

Anyone know what the original intent was for the Alice webbing near the bottom of the pack? I'm just wondering.

Ethan Becker: “That’s Frog for ‘club’.” Me: puts down everything and listens intently for more wisdom.

Brilliant!!!

would really love to get hold of Todd Hunt, what is his email?

Hello there, Todd makes awesome stuff there. i like his T M Hunt Colehog. i really would like to have one in my hand, especially with curly maple wood. problem is always out of stock in his stockists. no where to find one. please help there

What happen to you mission knives .

I've been building fires in the woods my whole life.... Never once had I ever "battoned" wood to do that.... It's dangers ... Hard on your blade and 100% unnecessary.

Bongo Gear has new Becker Patrol Pack Mark II's for sale, but they're going to sell out fast!

I threw my gun on the other night and realized I was carrying a g19 with python speed loaders in my jacket pockets. It’s ok, because I had a jframe backup, in 38spl so it wouldn’t use the 357 or the python speed loaders. I did have a tactician in my pocket as well as a streamlight micro stream usb clipped between the buttons of my polo shirt. I’m not quite as high speed as you, but I tried!

At least the spare mags in the wrong caliber are single stack too.

Good one! Are you going to the Blade Show this year?

Ethan Rox no-doubt-about-it!

Nice one Ethan.

Don t know why this was recommended, but glad it was. I remember seeing a couple of these overseas in the late 80s/early 90s. I had modified my large ALICE based on this, adding fastex buckles, and additional ammo pouches. Man, this brings back memories!

Love the way he explains things. He's such an insightful and practical bloke. I've got a lot of respect for Ethan. Thanks for making these videos.

My father when they got over run in Korea , hooked up with a couple British and gurkhas, Indian troops they just took rope scare ammo, humped up over the mountains and out, I'm a fighting Got hand the hand, the gurka's with the kurki one of the only reasons they got out, you said was unbelievable what a trained person can do with two of them,

I love listening to a genius discussing their craft.

I met Ethan back in the 80's at a gunshow in Cicicinatti and purchased one of his first Machaxes when they still had wooden handles. It's one of the finest tools I ever used. Ethan is a super nice guy and a pleasure to talk with.

Sir your making me too sleepy ! Can you make a close up of the Kukri knives that you are showing ? Plus who the maker is what size, what steel . where it's made ...

What knife is that behind him top row far left?

Gave my nephew one I used when I was in the army,needless to say wish I didnt, I can never replace it,was the same as the one in this video.

My ex wife wanted half of everything when we split. So I used my BK2 to baton the house clean in half. Thanks for your help Ethan!

Very nice and informative video! always love hearing information from skilled designers. the notion about the kukri being an extension of an arm and its sweet spot was especially interesting.

Got one and 4/21/21 And it one of the best in the world made by KaBar called the BK21 If you don't have one your missing out because this thing is made for working,it really built for action not wall hanging but you can do that also.

Yes the is a woods tool and a martial one also and Mr. Becker is correct I love this blade.♥️♥️♥️♥️ My BK 2 ..

Great tool for certain Mr.Becker ,that Kukri showed up today 4/21/21 and I already want another one because it that with designed and thought out from tip to pommel & great handle scales design, but I want those upgraded scales also and a BK 9 to go with my BK 21 World Famous Becker KaBar Blade.

Love your BK series of knives you designed with Ka-Bar. A BK9 with a 1/4 inch wide blade would be pretty awsome just saying.

I wish the production version of the Kabar Khukhri was the same natural high-carbon steel color as the Becker original. The black is ok, but the original looks super !

This frog loves Ethan and his knives

Thanks for making this video

Mr. Becker you're a legend sir.

Who's working the camera lol....

George McDonald-Fraser's book is actually titled "Safely Quartered Out Here". I really recommend it! (He also wrote the Bond film "Octopussy".) Enjoy 👍👍

At Frank Camper's Merc School (yes, it was a thing) we had a cadence about the In-grim-gun! I miss the 80s and the Soviets.
