Eskabar. Stripped the finish, gave it some jimping, convexed it, and added the factory handle slabs and a simple lanyard...
Then I convexed another one, left the finish, added the orange handles, and a simple lanyard...
Added the straps from a Kabar TDI to the sheath...
Added orange 550 cord to the other one for a four-way belt option...
Then I had to add the Eskabar's handles to an Izula...

Been wanting to do this forever, and finally had the time this weekend. Jimping is still to be added, gonna touch up the edge, and I'm working on a new sheath.

Some pics from user Echo2 over on BCUSA I snagged. Thought this was a very ingenious use around Floppy Sheath Syndrome that is common with the BK2, as well as his method for holding a firesteel.
And for you new people just seeing this, NO CHATTING! If you don't have pics to post, don't post!

BK4, stripped and fitted with homemade blue and brown canvas micarta scales.
I used Bondo brand fiberglass resin and bought my canvas at Walmart. I only sanded to 220 grit because I wanted a really grippy handle for a sure grip through rain, sweat, fat, blood, snow, and ice.

Started out like this..
After some filing and sanding to get rid of the saber-ish grind, it turned into this.
Now it looks more like this.

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and decided to mess around with my BK-2 and post the results. I've never modded a knife so this is pretty rudimentary compared to some of the amazing work I've seen on this forum. Thanks for looking.
Stripped and added a 90 minute white vinegar patina
I added a convex edge with my Worksharp Sharpener
I added a cheap $3 pouch from my local Army / Navy store. I made holes with an awl and added longer screws and washers to the belt loop plate.
Open Pouch with a good look at how I mounted it. It also has elasticized straps that are around the sheath and they help keep it in place.
