Becker bk5 fighter modifications

The BK-5 is already a fighter. It needs no further development.

Tanto-izing that already wicked point? Sorry guys but I think it's a silly notion.

Looks like he is a service provider here now.

His s/n is Albert Edmonds. Hit him up guys.he does great work.
 
Albert Edmonds emailed me back, thanks alot!! I am hoping to send out the blade and such by the end of the week if I make it back to town,,,, very excited!!
 
So, just a lil update and a few hints of things to come...Sent out my bk5 yesterday to get modded by our very own Albert Edmonds, looking at reprofiling to a tanto edge, half the top edge sharpened, some jimping on the choil and on the spine, and some mods to a pair of micarta grips...after the knife does return I will be having a custom sheath made probably by AzWelke (as I love the work I have recieved from him as well)... Stay tuned, more to come... Albert, when you read this thread I want you to know you are more then welcome to post updates and pics here as well so people see how you are transforming my knife into a work of art, and once again thanks for taking on my project!!
 
Since I put the micarta handle slabs on my old Camillus BK-5, it's changed the balance... for the better. It was already a quick and agile knife but the little bit of extra weight in the handle made it a new knife. Now it's VERY agile and very fast. And the micarta makes it grippier.
 
I grinded the handle and pommel myself, and did a leather and cordwrap with a turks head knot. Ill post pics if anyone is interrested

I, for one, am interested.

and, uh.....ALWAYS post pics - it's not even a question. Pics. Or. It. Didn't. Happen.
 
The point is good to go-the "hatchet point" (no, I don't know why they call it that either) is almost universal on HuDieDao from the 19th century, and those are seriously purpose-driven fighting knives:
When I modded my 5 the only "fighter" mods I did were slimmer grips to
Index the edge better and to remove the exposed tang at the butt

Two observations about the 5: it shines in reverse grip, and (try this) it doesn't reeeaally have to have a live back edge to do damage with that tip on a back cut

The funny thing is, its already a traditional tanto. What we believe to be a tanto is an americanized hybrid of a shinogi zukuri and a chokuto. I agree. The chisel point is not tactical. Its tacticool.
