Nice...

 

[GeofS]

Thank you.

Looks like a chopping beast.

You must have FAT fingers judging from the size of that choil, haha.

 

[GeofS]

Trust me, it’s good to have the ability to choke up on it. This blade has got some weight to it.

I am thrilled that you like it Geof, it is a monster that’s for sure. I experimented with a regular choil to begin with but the blade was just too heavy. So you got the extra large 2 finger choil lol

Looks to be on the smallish side to me. But, then again, here's a BK9 in hand shot:

That’s awesome, Dubz. Is that real?

You got a lot of skill, Paul. Great job on this.

Thanks man. Nah, it's GIMPed. The shadow falling in the finger grooves was the hardest part.

Now I want one as a keychain.

Here’s my “Becker Bolo” made by Mr. Bill Siegle. Patterned after the Jest Bolo.
1/4” 5160 with differential heat treat. She’s a beast!
I still wish Ethan and Bill would team up with Ka-Bar and turn this into production.

That’s an awesome looking blade! Thanks for sharing.

Damm Dubz, that little 9er makes your hand look small

That blade shape is Perfect!!!
Bet it's an Amazing camp knife!

That must be a 2 finger choil!

Here is a rough draft mock up i made, based off of a ontario 18 inch machete. Im sure the handles would need to be profiled to fit the tang but without having it in hand its hard to judge how that would go.

Great stuff guys.

My latest acquisition... Hunt says it isn't the Becker handle, but...C'mon!

Do the scales swap?

 

[knifejunkie1928]

The first 5ish m18s did use becker handles. However all the handles since then he made something based off the becker handle it's a bit longer so no the scales don't swap.
