Becker Modifications and Inspirations Thread - NO CHATTING!

[venmm73]

This is my first mod and fav. knife. BK11 with ghost jade G10 and some jimping. And my first kydex sheath i ever made. and still my #1

 

[Liveitloud]

Not much to see here. BK11 was stripped, got some micarta and a vinegar patina. Put a TDI clip on the sheath which really isn't a mod but an aftermarket add on.

Started out..

Next...

Next...

BK2 got some micarta. Didn't like the handles so they got sanded, compounded and buffed out.

Started...

Then...

Started by jimping, which didn't turn out the best, but was okay:

Then removed part of the finger guard, to fit the contours of my finger more:

Then notched the end, so a shock cord could hold the knife in the sheath tighter. Removing part of the finger guard made it a little loose:

Then paracord wrapped it, and added homemade beads:

Notched the sheath to accommodate the wrap:

Redid the knot. Didn't like the first:

Then did a half assed job on carving one of the beads:

BK9 handle fattenating: Camillus grivory from the LEBK10, black liners, and a Ranger band. Snap on the stock sheath won't close now, it's that much bigger.

BK-13: Removed the back of the handle because it was digging into my hand, made the guard a little smaller, added some black micarta scales, changed the blade shape a bit and gave it a convex edge (Gettting better at those! Finally)

Full View: Stripped Coating. Stippled the stock scales with soldering iron and hex-wrench. Added Jimping with Dremel and Rat-Tail file. Hand sanded steel. First layer of patina - yellow mustard and 5% vinegar. 2nd patina 5% white vinegar bath - wrapped with soaked printer paper.

BK11 that was stripped, blued, & had the bottle opener ground off before I traded into it -- since this was almost too short to use in my hands, I decided to put "real" scales on it. Rosewood scales, the spacer filling the handle behind the steel is walnut. The pins are spiral shank stainless nails I cut down after gluing in place. the 3rd pin is at the back of the original steel, the last one is there for symmetry.

Ground down and reshaped the guard "nib" to get a closer grip.

Added some jimping to my 14 with a Dremel last night:

Forgot to add sheath pics:

I'll add my only two original mods. The first I take a little flak for:

I'll make a contribution to this awesome thread. It is definitely a work in progress but I think you would absolutely call it a mod.
