Just wondering if anyone has any experience with said blade. I have purchased one as a necker / fail safe. I've had positive feedback from an american site, but was chasing some more international feed back. Main duties for my necker is food prep and emergency second blade.

Thanks lads

Hi feebullet, I've not got the Becker but have the Doug Ritter CRKT which is very similar, and I'd recommend wrapping some paracord around the handle to make it a bit more ergonomic (and useful).

UPDATE: I've had the necker a couple of weeks, tested it in some pretty serious ways. It's seen salt water reef fishing, roo skinning, food and fire prep, and battoning etc etc. This is a couple of pics thus far...... It handles frozen pilchards really well, pretty stout knock around blade!

Looks like some of the tastiest knife testing I've seen so far.

Nearly impossible to get roo meat here in the US, so I haven't tried it yet, though.

Looks like you are putting it to good use!

Oh don't worry about not being able to get 'roo meat in the US, it tastes very much like wallaby.

Hope this helps,

Oh I must beg to differ, of all the macropod family I would say roo and wallaby taste the most different.

Ha! I didn't see your reply until just now, Martin. So if I get a wild North American Wallaby on the line next time I'm fishing, it'll taste just as good as "roo," is that right?

Guess I'll just have to wait till my wife and I can take our dream vacation to the Southern Hemisphere...
