How did you strip it? I own a pair of Brutes and I've been wanting to do that to one of them. Also, did you treat or oil your Micarta grips??? Nice photos!

you can use Zip Strip...works great...
i have done all of my beckers with it and had no problems...ten minutes and the finish just falls off and then i clean it with water and sand it with 200 grit paper

What Langston said...I used Citri-Strip..I gave it 30 miniutes and the finish peeled off with a putty knife..then rinsed with water and wiped it down really well...then sanded with 400 grit, then 600 grit. I focused on the high spots to give it an old look. Overall. I think it cam eout good. I replaced the Becker 10-32 bolts with stainless bolts and nuts..overall, the knife is my instant favorite...which is saying alot.
I am on a new trend..I am going for some middle of the road..*cost* knives...I am kinda over the Busse trend in my collection. I am still happy wiht my ASH, the best "ONe KNIfe" knife there is..but all the others are gone...I am getting rid of the TREEMAN..its to much money..I need to just simplify things..and this knife is a performer that doesnt break the bank. I know that they are fetching a bundle on Fleabay, but they are still cheaper than some of the other big name choppers that cant beat em. IMO

I'll let you know when i get mine, probably in 3 -6 weeks.
I bought a Camillus BKT Campanion blade on ebay this week.
I wanted one back in the day but never had the money at the right time.
I was waiting to see what BKT's Kabar would be offering but then i saw the ebay listing so i said "why not?"
I paid around the same price as i did for my Mora 2000.
The shipper even let me go the cheaper first class mail so the shipping was only 10$ instead of near 30$.
