Looking for personal experience with Becker quality. Was excited to try out the BK18 harpoon blade but the edge/grind while sharp isn’t “true”. If that makes sense. Photos don’t really show what I’m seeing in person but I’ll put a couple up. I mean it has a sharp edge on it but the grind isn’t centered/even throughout. I know it’s not big bucks but I have plenty of “cheap” CRKT, Buck, Kershaw and just don’t see the same. This is my first experience with KaBar/Becker. Maybe I’m being to finicky about a knife that’s going to see some hard use but it was surprising to me. Thought maybe it was a one off but the second/replacement from amazon was worse than the first. It’s probably just my ocd but just expected it to be symmetrical. Its impossible to see it on the length of the blade with photo but captures some at the tip.

A-Z garauntee! Return it again and again until you get one you are happy with. Depending on the AZ vendor you bought it from, could be a cheap counterfiet too. Never seen that bad of quality from them.
