Backpacking with my BK16

[hike500]

Since I am new here I figured I would post some pix of my first Becker, the 14 is on the way and the 9 will be a few weeks out. Here are some shots from a couple of days ago backpacking in the Superstitions. I included one of my ugly mug also.

awesome pics! Where did you get the leather for your 16?And btw your "ugly mug" looks like its ready to kill someone

Meh, you aren't the ugliest one around here.

The more I see/use the 16 the more it grows on it. But the 17 is still my favorite tweenie.

It is the #1560, Thompson Leather works.

Interesting idea on using tape for your ferro rod handle

Nice pics, how is the retention on the sheath and did you wet mold it?

I just split some gorilla tape in half, it actually does make a nice little handle and now it is double use.

I wet molded it and the retention is great, one thing about the Enzo sheaths though is that the belt loop is only stitched with no adhesive behind it. And the thread they use is pretty thin, so as I take the knife in and out the blade eventually eats through the thread. The one in the picture I simply glued it back on, not very good at sewing my-self. Nice leather though.

Nice pics, looks like a great time. I really like the looks of that sheath.
